[QUOTE="seriously, post: 431159, member: 11920"] I am so sorry to hear your news and I hope you are able to get there really soon. In case you don't already have this info here's a link to the info on applying for passports when you are in the US. It does say to contact the consulate but it also has a 24 hour customer service line. Might be worth a call to them. [url]http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/passports/how-to-apply/usa#Urgent[/url] If you or your family are members of a religious organization like the Catholic Church, you could call and ask if they could also assist you in getting compassionate travel assistance. You could probably do this whether you are a church member or not but you are most likely to get help if you belong. I think that your sister's doctor is the only one in a position to tell you whether she is likely to recover or not and how unstable she might be at this point. My mother has had a couple small strokes and my father had several but none were massive. Here, my mother was told that small strokes are often "early warnings" and a much more severe stroke is likely to occur within just a few days. So there is a big push to discover the cause of the initial stroke and treat that immediately. The younger the person the more significant the concern and urgency in diagnosing the underlying cause. The medical system here is different than in the UK so I can't say what kind of approach they take there. I hope you are able to join your family soon ~ Many hugs, [/QUOTE]
