My hospital visit

On Tuesday, September 29th, 2010, my sister was admitted to Children's Hospital. Over the past couple of months she has had some problems where she feels very dizzy and drained of energy. Every time she goes to the doctor though, they tell her that there is nothing wrong with her. You would think that if something was truley wrong with her that the doctors would be able to figure it out but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It's been hard because my mom's insurance is about to cut us off because of the amount of money its cost the insurance company to keep her in the hospital on and off like this. It's also hard because after so many visits and no results you begin to wonder if these symptons that she is discribing to us are indeed true or some giant well thought-out plan that is her key to missing alot of school. This being her first year of High School she needs to understand that missing mass amounts of school will guarentee a fail. Part of high school is that you are walked through a step by step processes of how to get from point A to point B. If she misses 2-3 weeks of school she is going to miss over half of the steps. Its hard to build a puzzle thats missing pieces. We have been in school for about 4-5 weeks now and she has already close to half of it. Last night I so gratiously spent my night in the hospital in hopes that maybe they would find something this time and i would be able to feel like all of this money and possible cut off of insurance isn't for a lost cause but for a good reason. With all of this being said I feel that if she is saying she really feels this way then maybe she does. I really can't feel what she is feelings so i have no right to say she is ok or she is sick.
