Weekly Winners: My Sister Bren

Posted at 6:51 am under Family & Parenting,Fun & Friends,Weekly Winners

I am visiting my sister Brenda and her family right now. And the truth is…the visit was prompted by a health care crisis.  Here is what Bren says:

“I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure…something that we as a family were not prepared for. I am working hard to better myself as well as listen to whatever my cardiologist says. We are all optimistic that my condition won’t worsen and in the next 3 months I become a person living with CHF not dying from CHF. Thank you to everyone who have sent their well wishes and prayers.”

So this week’s Weekly Winners is dedicated to my sister Brenda and her courage to transform her life and not only live, but THRIVE through congestive heart failure.

    I’ll pray for her. She does look like she is thriving. The second to last shot is priceless.

    That last shot is great, you both have amazing smiles.

    Good luck to your sister. With her positive attitude I have no doubts she will not only survive, but thrive.

    She most definitely looks fun loving. She also sounds as strong and confident as you always seem, which is a great sign. She can triumph over this!
