My sister is badly injured at her horse show. I'm scared...
13 years ago
So my sister had a horse show today. Her horse, Hoot, who is a Belgian/quarter-horse cross (he's HUGE!) did absolutely wonderfully throughout the whole thing for the most part, then freaked out during her cross-country run.
My sister (Hannah) was (most likely) projected from the horse.
Landed on the ground, in what my mom describes as a "prone" position?
And she started seizing.
This happened a few hours ago I think, and my mom just talked to me, from a hospital in Boston.
They got helicopter-transported to Boston.
And my mom went with her in the helicopter.
Hannah has a severe concussion, and is very badly injured, but it looks like she'll recover, as it is at the moment, as far as we know. She's in the best hands possible... Mass General is amazing, and she's in the pediatric ICU right now.
She's on breathing tubes.
She's been sedated.
She's okay for now.
It's a bad concussion, and there might be a tiny bleed in her brain (possibly? I mean, my mom said that's what the doctors said?), and she's being monitored very closely. And I just hope for my family's sake that everything just goes really well.
As Mom told me about all this on the phone, I started shaking and crying.
I'm still shaky.
Hannah and I do not have a great relationship right now. We fight like crazy people. And I feel really bad about this... I'm just putting it out there that I really still love her and care about her. We just tend to hate each other occasionally.
Right now, I'm going to try to keep myself kind of distracted. Charlie's still sleeping (they worked late last night, on very little sleep, and so now they're recovering basically from all the energy exerted). The plan for today was to go over to Dragoncat's house to do hair dyeing with me, Charlie, and her, but I think at this point I dunno if I want to do that.
I don't know what to think or do. It's all very shocking.
I think Char and I are going to stay up here at my parents' because I dunno if Dad's coming home tonight or going to stay in Boston with my sister and mother. (Mom said she wasn't going to come home at all, for sure. She'd be by Hannah's side.)
We'll be here to take care of the pets I guess (2 cats, 1 dog).
I just need this to be okay. I need Hannah to be all right.
If you do prayer, please pray for us.
If you are like me, and you don't have a specific god or anything, just keep my sister in your thoughts.
As my mom tends to do, send healing white light to her.
I'm currently asking the universe for its help.
I am asking for Hannah to be okay. I'm asking for things to turn out well.
And I guess, I'm asking you to send some positive energy our way.
Started crying again.
Thank you for reading...
UPDATE (6PM):
Hannah's awake, talking, moving a little. She is getting pain meds.

FA+

And yeah I just gotta remember that. Boston is premier for hospital care.
My mom overheard as well, and is sending her good thoughts/prayers.
I just started seeing a massage therapist who is also a reiki master actually! She's wonderful. Very healing person.
I didn't know you did reiki. That's awesome.
She's doing well so far.
But thank you. And your family. <3
But yes... They are a great hospital, and I know that she'll be fine now since she's already started recovering =3 And you are very welcome~
