Just a little background info. My sisters brother in law (i think that would be my brother in law too...whatever it doesn't matter) was shot delivering a pizza. Thats just a long story short. I really don't feel like going into the details. But he got shot in the face, in the right eye and then in the back. People are sick. Right after they shot him they went and ate the pizza, thats all they took, and his wedding ring. He put up a fight, I mean who wouldn't after being jumped. The police won't arrest anyone because they only know their street names, not their real names which pisses me off to no end. So last night he had surgery, they put this thing on his head to relieve the pressure from all the hemmoraging...I don't remember what its called. But he's doing okay, he's coughing on his own, which is good and bad. The bad part is that it causes pressure on his brain and him pain. He's still in fighting mode. He'll wake up and they'll have to sedate him again, he can't help it, his last memory is being jumped so yea. So right now it can go either way,in one scenario he will be paralyzed and a vegetable, or he may just be paralyzed and have loss of sight in his right eye, or he'll die.
So I went to the hospital to see Najib, well I stayed in the waiting room. For one they're not letting anyone in his room. The doctors said that theres to many people in and out his room and he won't get better that way. And I have this image of him in my head from when I last saw him and I want to keep that. I don't want to see him the way he is now, in case he doesn't survive. I want to remember him the way I've always known him. Mom said that when she went to go see him she thought he was looking at her. Turns out, the bullet is where his eye used to be and his eye is moved over farther to the right.
Its so sad, sick and wrong what happened. Shooting someone over a pizza, what kind of fucked up world do we live in. Najib was like the only person in the family I really liked. He used to come into Starbucks and bring us free pizza. He was like my brother, everytime we talked he would always make sure I was okay..he always had my back, if I ever needed money he would give it to me, not that I ever took it but you know that kind of thing. I'm trying really hard not to cry but its so hard. I don't know. I feel like I should be around people, but I'm so blah that I think I'd just be a downer...yea
It would be nice if y'all can pray for him....
