I really am the most horribly selfish person on the planet. Two weeks ago my little 3 year old cousin was diagnosed with Ensephylitis (swelling of the lining of the brain) causing her to seize. It appeared as though there was no brain damage and that it was treatable. But again, on Friday night, there was another seizure. Doctors estimate that she had been seizing for as long as five hours. As of this morning, her liver was shutting down, theres very little brain activity, and shes comatose. What a horrible thing for such a small girl to go through. I can't imagine what her parents are experiencing.

Heres the selfish part. My husband and I have a planned vacation we're taking starting Friday. Thats right, I actually thought, "what about me and my vacation?"! If something happens to this precious girl and the Lord brings her home, will I have to forfeit my time off for a funeral? Horrible. Just Horrible.
