Last night Matthew and I were at some friends having dinner with them, and Matthew got a voicemail from my mom asking if we could go to the hospital and see my little sister Samantha. So, I checked my phone I had like 5 missed calls. I called my mom, and after that we were on our way. We had no idea what had happened or how Sam was doing. We said a little prayer before we started driving though. I was kind of freaking out, because almost 3 yrs ago Sam and I were in a terrible car accident and were hurt badly, so I was thinking the worse. We got to the ER and they hadn't got Sam to there yet. She was at a Institute activity swimming at the Rec Center. She had been swimming for a while, but she was going back and forth from the cold water to the hot tub. She started feeling light headed, and couldn't walk. And you have to know that when Sam gets scared and starts crying she starts to hyperventilate. She didn't hit her head or anything so that was good. Well anyways we were in the ER for three hours with her last night. They had her in a neck brace for a while because she was saying her neck was hurting. They took x-rays to make sure everything was okay. The doctor said that she was just very dehydrated from the hot water in the hot tub. And going from the hot tub to the cold water was making her body work too much. She is doing good, just very tired. Matthew and I brought her home to our house, and she is still sleeping. Poor girl. But thank goodness for all her good friends, and Institute leaders. Also thank goodness for the priesthood again. My sister Brandy's fiance Mark gave her a blessing that helped her so much. We are glad she okay and feeling better.
