What a wonderful and touching story! I know how tough this must be for you, too, and how much you love your sister. It is so difficult to see someone we love so much go through such a rough time. I think Love is the greatest gift God gives us, even though it can sometimes be the most painful.
I am glad you are there with your sister and may God touch you every day in special ways as a reward for what you are doing. It looks like He did yesterday, for sure.
God Bless,
Ed
