My brother is sick...
grr
here's something i wrote a few days ago.
I feel so terrible..
Alex is really sick.
Saturday was prom, and he had to work, so he took his girlfriend out on a date instead... And that night he left pretty sick, but I didn't believe him, and on Sunday too, I said he was faking it so he could get checked out of school after drivers-ed today. And he went to bed last night and asked my mom to check him out after drivers ed., because if he misses it, he'll fail and he won't get a license...
But I don't feel completely bad for not believing him, but because I wasn't here... I stayed after school with Jarren and I didn't get home until 4:30, and when I got here, I didn't even mind where Alex was. My mom was at a Tae Kuan Doe class with Loclyn, and Dad was at work. I got online, and after a minute, I heard this really weird sound, it sounded scary, like an old-man trying to call for help, and I first thought "Oh my ***, there's somebody in my house." so I dialed 9-1-1 on my phone, ready to push send, and I walked towards the stairs, where I heard the noise, and I saw Alex just laying there on the landing in between the sets of stairs.
At first, I still didn't believe him... I thought he was doing that for attention. But he started talking about Hitler and that was a little creepy. So I sat on the stairs with him and asked him if he wanted anything, and he said no... And I called my mom, because it was really scary. She told me he'd been like that and that he was doing the same thing, because I told her that his speech was really slurred. And when I asked him if he wanted a pillow, he responded with "We don't have any pillows. I said ok and got up to get him one anyways. I guess he had been passed out there the whole time, and I never noticed... *** I'm so terrible.
And when my dad came home, he asked why I was sitting on the stairs, and I said that I was sitting with Alex, and he yelled at us for 'being in the way'.
And when he was still yelling at us, my mom came home at about 5, and alex tried walking up the stairs. He kinda shifted himself on his knees and I noticed how skinny he was. *** I almost cried, he's just a skeleton. I can fit my fingers around his arm, not his wrist, his arm. He's always been skinny, but now he has NOTHING. So my dad helped him downstairs instead and he's been on the couch... He said he left early from drivers-ed and walked home... And my mom had to go to work, but my dad keeps telling Alex that he needs to drink water, and eat bread. Alex wants to go to the hospital, but my parents are too cheap and don't know where the insurance forms are. It's really scary to me. I've got a head-ache now, and i need to be getting ready for bed soon, but I'm so scared... I mean, I don't think it will happen, but what'll happen if he dies? ****, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I keep wanting to give him a hug or tell him I love him, but then he'll know what I'm thinking. And I can't cry in front of him, I'm afraid that'll scare him.
He's too skinny, he can't see the things right in front of him, we were giving him bread and he thought it was the straw from the water... he even said "i can't find the straw" because he kept clamping at it in the wrong direction. His eyes... scary beyond belief. The color in his eyes are huge. Fills most of his eyes, and the rest that's supposed to be white is red... I want to take a picture of him, but that would be pretty rude....
I'm really scared...
What id Jocelyn died? Or my parents? Or Loclyn? Or Joci, Jarren, or Len? Or any of the people I love, before I got to say 'I love you'.
I want this day to be over... It was the most perfect day ever until I saw Alex lying alone...
and that boy sure is ambitious... he'd rather be deathly ill than fail drivers ed...
=/
But he's better now.
He got taken out of ICU and into another room.
But my family is awful.
My little brother is the only one that's ok.
He doesn't really get that he almost died.
But I've gotten 10 hours of sleep this week so far, and my parents.. probably less.
And he has diabetes.
It's scary.
I haven't had any sugar though... because i'm afraid of needles and i don't want to end up like that....
although i would love to loose 20 pounds...
