It's been a hellish 24 hours. My sister was admitted to the emergency room yesterday with stroke-like symptoms. She wasn't feeling well and then was having trouble with verbal expression and numbness in extremities, among other things. I spent a rough night, trying to keep busy, up and pacing and trying to lose myself in tv, waiting for news, texting and talking with my mom, sister, and best friend, and crying to my husband. I finally fell asleep, and shortly after I woke this morning I got the glorious news that she was back to her old self. I spent today trying to busy myself as I waited for a diagnosis and prognosis. From what I gather, the best medical guess right now is that it was a freak massive migraine that mimicked stroke symptoms. She is being released to the care of her primary physician and being sent home from the hospital. I cannot begin to express how glad I am that she's okay.
It's funny, I was a machine all day, but the minute I heard she was going to be fine I sat down to take a deep breath, suddenly felt ill and hot, and sure enough I have a 102 degree fever.

I am so, so glad to hear that your sister is ok. I don't have any siblings, so I can only imagine how scary that was for you.
