Alvina! yikes!

 so i phoned the royal alex hospital at 780-735-4111 they told me shes in intensive care!!!!!!!! wtf!!
omg!!! so they put me thru to intensive care and the nurse i need to speak too was on the phone with alvinas sister. so im going to phone back and ask the nurse for an update. in case any of you want to call the number to intensive care is 780-735-4523. so should i lie and pretend im family? i dont know what to do...... any advice? i will update in a bit once i get thru to the nurse and see if she will tell me anything.... ack!!!! our worries were not unfounded!!! id like to say a whole lotta swears right now!!!!!!!
what do you all think i should say to the nurse????
niki

 maybe i should tell her im from her support group??

This is awful!  maybe be a cousin or something in case they ask you varifacation questions or something, I don't think they will tell you anything if you are not family.  I hope they are being cautious and it's not too bad.... :(

I would call and tell them who you are and ask to speak with who is with her. Maybe the person she is with will come to the phone and you can talk to her. If no one is there ask when would be the best time to call back and let them know that you will be calling back

But...
I would probably try to lie first, lol.

 Omg. Thank you so much for calling :( I wonder if it had to do with her heart - god I hope everything ends up ok :-( 

 Oh my gosh I had a bad feeling but didn't want to worry everyone.  I hope she is alright and will keep her in my prayers.  Thanks for calling Niki and keep us posted.  

I will keep her in my prayers too; thank you for calling and please keep us posted.

Have you gotten anymore information?

OMG. I want to cry. Alvina, when you are well enough to read this, we love you and are praying.

 honestly ladies, ive picked up the phone a few times to call, but im so torn, i dont know if its my place or what to say, im at a loss, basically i chicken out!....ugh
