Story+10

 It all started one Tuesday morning as me, my mom and my little sister woke up with some blurry dwindling eyes. My little sister had an appointment with her doctor. This was the 6th time my mom took my little sister, Alexandra to the doctor for the same reason. The reason my little sister kept on going to the doctor was because she was too skinny, she didn’t want to eat anything besides soup. As much as she ate she didn’t get fat at all, so my mom, my sisters, my dad and I started to get worried. She also slept and acted weird. She vomited everything she ate, which was only soup. The doctor kept on telling my mom that she didn’t have anything, that every symptom she represented was normal. That’s when my mom got worried because she knew something was wrong.  Until…. The next early morning my mom took my little sister to this school well actually it was a child care program. My little sister had been going there for like one month already and there were no complains about her. But this whole week the teacher kept on telling my mom to take my little sister to the doctor. My mom told her “I did but the doctor keeps saying its normal”. The teacher said “well then I guess we’ll have to do it the hard way, tell them to check her the right way or I will have to sue them.” The next day my mom took my little sister to the doctor once again and now she told them what the child care program was about to do. So that’s when they started to work faster and they also had my little sister get checked by the hospital.  That same day, while we were sleeping my mom received a call at 11:00 P.M. “Hello is this the mother of Alexandra Monroy?” asked a nurse, “Yes” answered my mom. “I need you to come to the emergency room and bring Alexandra with you HURRY UP!” My mom was scared, she woke me up “WAKE UP HURRY!” she said. I was scared; she took me to my dad’s house and left with my little sister to the hospital. I asked her what was wrong before I got off the car, she said she had to take my sister to the hospital, I was crying and my little sister was sick.  When my mom and my sister got to the hospital these 3 nurses started checking my little sister they injected her some weird liquid and connected this huge tube on her body. Later on they told my mom that my little sister had cancer, once my mom heard that her heart got broken, she felt everything fell on top of her, and she started crying. Once she told me that my sister had cancer I started crying I couldn’t believe it, I cried a lot. I couldn’t believe that a three year old could get cancer; I cried so much I wanted to stay with her each and every minute she was in the hospital. She stayed in the hospital like for 2 1/2 years, sometimes with IV’s and blood connected to her, it was just so sad, especially when the nurses had to put some shots by my sister’s heart 1-2 times a day. She had to walk with this huge machine (tube) connected to her body, everywhere she went. The next year and a half we had to keep taking my sister to the hospital once or twice in a week. Now she’s about to turn 8 on March 19, and we still take her to the hospital 1-2 times a month, so she can get checked. She still has a scar were she got her shots close by her heart. Each time I treat her bad I regret it. I remember how she looked when she was sick, how bad I treated her or how sad she looked, each and every time I remember the past I get sad or start crying. We still take my little sister to the hospital but thank god she’s better, I prayed a lot for her, while she was in the hospital all sick. I didn’t like to see a 3 year old and many other little kids in the hospital with machines connected to them, without any hair or with sad little faces on them. I also didn’t like to see my little sister and other little kids getting chemo or having Leukemia in their blood (cancer). I also get sad when I remember my little sisters friends that died, her four friends. But I’m really thankful with god because he gave me a great little sister, I love her with all my heart I wouldn’t resist seeing her in the hospital once again. All my family suffered while she was in the hospital on that ugly uncomfortable bed - all sad.  After this entire freaky situation I passed through with all my family a miracle happened. Since god made my sister get better the wish foundation (give kids the world) gave my little sister a wish… My sister’s wish was to go to Orlando Florida for one week, to go to all the parks (Disney world, universal studios, sea world, and Holly wood studios) and we did. A limo picked us up from my house and took me, my mom, my sister, and my brother to the airport, It took us 8 hours to get to the airport of Orlando Florida, once we got there a lady from the Make a wish foundation took us to rent a gray van, The doors opened automatically it was cool. Than it took us like 15 minutes to get to this village named “give kids the world village”. It was a village with normal houses but it had some new houses that looked like the Smurf houses and we got one of those. I had my own room with my brother and it had a big bathroom with a Jacuzzi and 3 sinks. My mom had a room with my sister. We also had a laundry, and a big living room with a big T.V. and big kitchen. Every time we wanted food we just called thru the phone and a man brought us food, everything we ordered was brought to our house. We also went to eat food at the ginger bread house everything was free it was like a Buffet. There was also a snoring tree and a castle. We got to make pillows, and my sister made a star that had to be located at the top of the castle. We also got free toys, and movies. There were also 2 pools’ and a train, a theater and an ice cream shop we got almost everything free. Now that my sister is bigger I regret everything I did to her all the bad things. My little sister and my family is the best that ever happened to me.
