My Wonderful Brother!
Adriana Radic
Sarah’s brother, Stefan, has made a huge and dramatic change in both Sarah’s , and her family’s life. When Sarah’s brother was only eight, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. They couldn’t believe it, it was like someone stabbed each of the family members in the heart. He was riding his bike from his friends house. He was almost on their driveway when all of a sudden, he’s on the ground in excruciating pain. Sarah’s family thought that he had fallen off because one of his shoe laces had gotten caught in the gears. Then he screamed out, “HELP ME!” He couldn’t feel his legs, nor could he move them. Then Sarah’s parents took him to the hospital. They thought he might have broken something. The doctor came in, looked at him, asked Stefan, who was in severe pain some questions, then says that his shoes were too tight and it cut off his circulation. That’s why his legs were numb. So they left the hospital believing them because they’re doctors and they know what they’re doing! Her parents got home thinking everything was going to be fine and nothing was wrong. He still didn’t look like himself! He was as white as a ghost, and was always staring off to one side and wasn’t very alert. He ended up feeling nauseous and felt like he was going to throw up. So he went to the bathroom. While he was walking to the bathroom, he felt very light headed and had fainted for a second. If her dad wasn’t behind him, he would have fallen and cracked his head open! They called the ambulance right away!! They came in less than 5 minutes. Her sister, Tamara, and Sarah were terrified! They ran up the stairs like cheetahs crying because they were scared of what was going to happen to their brother! Sarah said, “ I’ll never forget them putting my brother on the stretcher, and taking him away in the ambulance! It was the worst feeling ever.” She felt nauseous and she felt like she was going to faint at the same time. It was not a very good feeling....
