For those of you who even care to read these blogs then watch and read as I explain what has happened over the last month and why I haven't been around as much as I'd like to be.

To start I guess I should mention a few things. First I was diagnosed with Parkinson's about a month ago. Secondly i'm mute(not deaf there is a difference) which means I can't talk. I lost my means of talking at 12 years old. This has been eating me up for a while and it drove me to the brink of suicide. It took a fellow BC'er talking me out of it to come to my senses.

Second point: My sister and Nephew were in a car accident nearly a month ago and my sister came out ok but my nephew didn't come out of it the same. He took most of the impact when the other car hit the car he was riding in. His Car Seat broke on impact and it caused him to be in a coma for 3 days. While he was in the coma he had multiple surgeries to repare his arms and legs which were shattered in the accident. Upon waking up the doctors checked his "lower region" and found it non functional. Normally in this kind of situation it would require surgery which ultimately did occur. However, while doing the pre-op tests they ended up finding out that he was technically a she and we never knew it.

Warning: if you get grossed out by talk of stuff pertaining to sex then leave now!

While doing the tests the doctors found out that he never would have been able to reproduce as a male because not only was he not producing sperm but he had no Prostate. Interestingly enough he had a complete set of female organs. But they aren't properly sized for his age. So my nephew was left with two options. Either go the sensible route and live as a girl and be able to reproduce later on or continue to be a boy but never be able to reproduce.

He didn't know what to think at that point and just burst into tears.

I felt so bad for him at this point having to make such a big decision at such a young age(He just turned 5 the day of the accident). Once he settled down I talked to him telling him that I'll support him whichever route he chose. He asked me for my opinion while his mother was out of the room and I told him that I would choose to be a girl in his situation if it meant I could have kids later in life. After I said that I let him be for a while so he could think this over.

After that conversation both me and my sister went to our respective houses and cleaned ourselves up as we both hadn't had the chance to do so before coming to the hospital.

When we got back it was decision time for my nephew and well I think he made the sensible decision and decided to become a girl. After the doctor left the room he(or should I say she) dropped a bombshell on both me and his/her mother saying that before all this happened he was having feelings that he was a girl but never knew how to say anything. We both hugged him/her(not sure what term to use at this point in the blog) and said we loved him/her either way he could have chosen to be. 2 days later he went under the knife to remove his male parts and open him up. Now this is where it gets a little interesting. 4 days after the surgery they decided that my nephew(now my niece) could go home. She had no problems or pain after the surgery and was allowed to go home and heal because the doctors thought that she'd be more comfortable getting used to her new situation at home rather then in the hospital.

On a side note pertaining to the accident, my niece lost both bladder and Bowel control because of the impact of the crash. While she's healing she has to be in diapers but her sisters are there to help her through it(She has her twin sister who is her age then her younger sister who just turned 2 in August) Her twin even talked her mother into treating them the same so my niece wouldn't feel alone in the situation which was cute.

If you want more information in that regard you'll have to pm me.
