Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Natalia, You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful brother. My two daughters have that kind of a relationship too. When my Steph was in the hospital in June, and I took turns staying overnight. We had pizza parties and video game wars. What fun. It is the pits to be in the hospital for Christmas, but at least you will be together. Bless you both. Hope you get to go home soon. XOXO Tina W., mother of , 18yo wcf My brother and I My brother is the best. He sleeps here with me every night now, and helps me wake up in the middle of the night for finger pricking and temperature checks. He wakes up the moment I do and stays up with me when I can't sleep. Then he leaves for the office (which thank god is close) before 6am. Last week when I had my head down between my knees due to the restless cough, head ache and fever, he rubbed my back and told me that I inspired him, and I will never forget that. He's my best friend. I'll put a picture of and I up sometime after Christmas.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 That is so wonderful Natalia! What a great brother to sleep at the hospital with you! I am so impressed.. Is he single? (I'm not, plus much too old, but I was thinking of some of our single girls here!!) I sincerely hope you are feeling better and I'm very sorry you have to be in club med for Christmas. love, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 ok, now i have to introduce myself since i'm getting blind date invites:) i have been reading the posts for a while, but haven't written before. i'm natalia's older brother (28, 29 in 2 weeks). i would like to clear up some things that natalia wrote in the " best brother email " , i'm not doing anything that any warm-blooded person wouldn't do and natalia would do the same and she would do this for a complete stranger, so let's not make me some kind of martyr. i'll take the compliments, thanks sis and thanks to everyone in the group for being very supportive of the situation. the whole family really appreciates it, none more than natalia. as for me spending the nites, i have and i leave at 6 or 7 in the morning, but i don't go straight to work, i go home sleep for a bit and get into work around noon (i have a flexible jbo so it's not a problem at all. so thanks to everyone and merry christmas and happy new year john Re: My brother and I That is so wonderful Natalia!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 , You just ripped off your angel wings! Don't sell yourself short, it would be allot easier to just sleep in your own bed and go to work at regular time. But you have gone the extra mile to be there with her when you can. You are a good brother. The rewards are your relationship with your sister. She is very lucky and so are you. Let's hope you will both be sleeping in your own beds soon. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Tina W., mother of Steph, 18yo wcf & 26yo(married), nocf Re: My brother and I That is so wonderful Natalia! What a great brother to sleep at the hospital with you!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Natalia, I can only hope that 's brother will be like your brother. Is he younger or older than you? Merry Christmas, and I hope you get to feeling better soon! e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 What a nice thing to say! So many times we don't appreciate the good in life. Recently we were all taking about how CF is so depressing. Albeit it is I have met the most incredible company (present company INCLUDED). I feel so much SMARTER and WISER. Sometimes I feel like I discovered the mystery to life - as in " what are the most important things? " and NO ONE else in the world has a CLUE.........I regret the way that I got here but I am here like it or not! I have a horrible fear of the dentist - I have bit him several times and kicked him in his private area (he always tells me he should wear catchers gear when I am coming). Well, I have this awful toothache...OMG......... Christmas was nice.....I loved seeing my brothers, sister and niece and nephew - what great kids!! Healthy as a horse. Just my comments. I love the fact that Natalia and her brother are so close - me and my brothers were like that - sometimes are - its just so hard now for me to maintain close relationships.......although I know they would be hear in a heartbeat!

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 No - Angel wings still there! So many people care but will not sacrifice TIME and with CF TIME is such a precious commodity. There is nothing like having someone rub your back when you puke or just feel like hell........ Natalia is very lucky - doesn't that sound funny???????????LOL I always laugh when people say " you are so lucky to go to florida with make a wish " - they don't mean and realize what they are saying..........

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Natalia, Your brother sounds like a real gem. He's the kind of guy that every mother hopes that her daughter will marry.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Rosemary, Have the kids gotten over the flu? It seems like almost every person I talk to has either had it or knows someone who has it. We have a guy who works for us that his 2 year old got it and the hospital sent him home and told them not to bring him back unless his temperature reaches 107 degrees F. He had the strain that went around last year. Hope you are all doing ok! Tina W Re: My brother and I What a nice thing to say! So many times we don't appreciate the good in life.
