I'm not sure who among the site is the praying type or whatever, but I sure could use a little bit of help right now.

Yesterday, while my sister was at work, she suddenly collapsed and her heart stopped. One of the girls there began to give her CPR. After the emergency paramedics arrived, it took them almost 20 minutes to start her heart again. (shocked her 7 times.)

After she was air-lifted to the hospital, they found out she had suffered a thyroid storm. (She has hyperthyroidism.) Right now, her heart and blood pressure are stable, she is responding to the medication, and after she goes through the cold-pack procedure (which is a measure they take after cardiac arrest that increases the likelihood of survival) they will gradually warm her up so she can wake up.

The problem now is that, since there was no oxygen flow to her brain for so long, the doctors are afraid that she is going to wake up and not have the capability to function normally. I refuse to accept this, but I really need all the prayers and hopes I can get to help my sister pull through this.

My sister's name is Jammy. Whatever religion or beliefs you guys got, would you mind lending me a prayer hand and hope that my sis pulls through this one intact? Everyone in my town has pretty much clustered the churches and such with prayers for her, but a few more will only make the power stronger.

Hope for the best.

Oh sweetie (hugs) =(

You got my prays all the way, I really hope your sister pulls through and i'm sure if there is anything wrong you'll get through it together.

If you need to talk or anything, I'm here for you and I'm sure everything else on this site is too. (gives another hug) Now you stay strong for your sister okay? She's gonna need you.

Thanks Acorn. I've just been a wreck. I think I'm still running on 2 hours of sleep and six cans of Red Bull. -_-'' (although, on a lighter note, they had a hard time finding a family waiting room large enough for my entire family last night. hurrhurr.)

Thanks for being there. I've had some time to get it out of me, but I won't be okay until I know for sure how she is. No matter what the outcome, I'mma gonna be right by her.

Oh dear God. I'll definitely keep her in my prayers. Like Alittleacorn, if you need anyone to talk to, I'll be here.

Oh you poor thing! I'm praying with all my heart as well. I really hope your sis gets better.

OHH NO!! Wasn't it you and Jammy who came up with "The Tawashi Bus Hat!!??" I'm praying for her (and you too!!), yes do NOT loose faith -- a dear friend of my family collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage -- it's been a MONTH, and we are thrilled that day by day he's coming back from the scary brink, a smile here, a squeeze of the hand there.

I hope Jammy is resting comfortably and will soon be able to give you some signals that she's going to be okay. I'm adding her name to our church prayer list, too to boost the power.

Take good care of yourself, TBH, and know that I'm here for you too!!

-BLACK JACK - we need you over here!!

I hope your sister gets better. *hugs* I'll be praying.

Oh, I'm sorry to read this, this is awful. I'll keep your sister in my thoughts, but please take care of yourself as well.

This is such a terrible thing but she definitely has one thing on her side: a loving and caring family.

I don't know much about the brean but I do know that it can find ways around some pritty bad damage, I am sure your syster will come threw this fine.

from the sound of things there will be no shortage of support and encurgment, that alone can do miricals.

I am not vary good with emotional stuff but I will do what I can, and probably edit this post to deth.

Thank you everyone for your support. They started warming her at 4am so about 4pm we will know whats going on and that she`s okay. I have a powerful feeling that she is gonna pull through this. I just know she will.

Thank you all again. No matter what happens I will let everyone know how it turns out.
