Today I went to see my little brother in the hospital. I was supposed to go see his Football game yesterday but it was inventory at Costco and so yeah...
When my grandmother called me late last night I didn't think anything of it and she's usually rather long-winded at times so I had let it ring. I had no idea that she was calling me to tell me that Jake had gone into the Intensive Care Unit. Apparently on the first play of the game he hit the ball carrier so hard that he lacerated his own liver! "That's giving 110%"- Markowicz.
To be honest I was really freaked out at first and I cried for a while because I was assuming the worst. Which is typical of me actually. I worry too much. I called out of work and went to the hospital with my cousin and my aunt.
Jake was really doing just fine! He was all sorts of fucked up on morphine though. But he was all smiles. His friends were there too and I thought that was really neat. I felt so relieved just to see him smiling and cracking jokes and just being his usual narcissistic self. He wont be able to eat for another day or drink, but they have him on IV so he'll be okay. His blood count stayed high so as not to require emergency surgery so all he has to do now is lay in bed for another week. For him, I know, that will be the hardest part. He is an active kid, when he's not playing world of warcraft ;)
So all is well.
Also, I had purchased tickets to see STEVIE WONDER!!! LIVE!!!
He hasn't come to Chicago in over 12 years!!!
It's only a couple of days away...September 10th, a Monday. The LEGENDARY STEVIE WONDER!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited I think I have to pee.
