You did a very good job of taking loving care of her. You both are to be commended for stepping up and doing everything you could for her. Not all children are able to stay by their parents side 24/7. Not all children are willing to provide medical care to their parents. It must have been very hard for both you and your sister.
Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Im sure it will make things alittle easier for others going thru similar situations.
