... it's out of your hands past being a loving and supporting family member. Some times it requires for our own health to step back, and let the system and further treatment do their work.

We can only save those who want being saved. My thoughts are for you and your sister. She has a support system: you, her boyfriend, the state.

Be sure to shore up your own support system. Bless you for being a loving sib in a very tough circumstance.
