My sisters keeper part 2

How disturbing. I finished the book this afternoon. I read over 200 pages this afternoon, only to finish in tears. The whole family goes through this media filled court case, and Anna wins the right to make her own medical decisions. then on the way home, she is in a car that is hit by a truck and she is killed. Her Attorney has her POA and rather than forcing her parents to make the choice he does it for them, and has ther organs donated. the kidneys go to her sister, who ends up undergoing a major battle to live but does in the end. Then the last chapter of the books talks about the results of her death. the guilt, the drinking, and the success of the other members of her family. But how totally heart breaking to read this book, and to have that outcome.

Oh and I did discover why the Attorney had a service dog. He has a seizure disorder, and the dog can identify when he is about to have on and get him to safty.

My sisters Keeper

I am currently reading "My sisters Keeper". My MOm gave me this book a couple years ago for Christmas and I am just now getting around to reading it. I have to say I am very upset. I have cried several times while reading it and am now so irrated with the mom sara. I hate that bitch! So basically the story is a bout a 13 year old girl who's older sister has Luekemia, and is going to die. Anna, was "created" to save her sisters life. So starting at birth they take her cord cells, then multipul blood transfusing and other blood related cells, to keep her sister alive. when she was 6 she they did a Bone Marrow Transplant and now at 13 her sister needs a Kidney. No one has ever asked Anna, no ethic's committe has looked at the case, because they are sisters and the parents (or parent) agrees this would be the best. So Anna has hired an attorney to help her NOT give her sister a kidney. Needless to say this whole book take place over 2 weeks. there have been several times in the book that have upset me. Like when Kate learns Anna has filed a law suit for her own medical decisions. She says its ok, but please keep being my friend, cause I dont' have any friends. And when Kate is in the hospital, Anna sneeks in to be with her because she doesn't know who she is with out her sister. Last night I got to the point of the first BMT when Anna was 6, the mom is with Kate and the Dad with Anna, the Dad comes to get Mom cause Anna is crying for her. Her answer is "I am too busy with Kate, I can't leave her" finally she does and although Anna is in pain she doesn't comfort her but looks for a medical comfort and finds a shot to put her out. then Sara is pissed off that the dad gives Anna a locket for her special gift for her sister. Then there is a brother who is in nothing but trouble.....but the parents are too busy with kate illness to even notice him. The bad thing is that the Dr's say Kate is not strong enough for the Kidney transplant yet the mother is pushing hard for it to happen. So my thoughts keep roaming does she love Anna for being Anna or because she is saving Kate. Only a few more days and I will finish the book and know the answers.
