it feels like i've been awake for days. i have to be up at 430 for clinical but i don't care. i just spent the past hour sitting on my brother's floor, listening to music with him.
it's sad that it takes something like this to make me realize just how miniscule every major problem in my life is. granted, situations still suck but my little brother is alive and i couldn't possibly ask for anything more.
when everything happened this morning, my mom was grocery shopping. my dad was supposed to go with her but changed his mind at the last second. i was in bed sleeping. if my dad had gone, no one would have heard the bang, no one would have gone looking to see what it was. my brother would have been laying on his floor, not breathing, and i would have been two rooms away sleeping.
maybe there is actually someone out there who looks out for us. my dad always goes shopping with my mom and today he didn't. he said earlier he had no idea what made him change his mind.
tomorrow, hopefully, we'll get answers. normal ph in the body is 7.35-7.45, anything above 7.55 is considered critical. my brother's was at 15. something happened in his brain, it wasn't just a simple fainting spell. all we can do now is sit back and hope for the best.
