Life Is Short
:hea: My brother has taken a turn for the worse.He has something in his lungs that the doctors can't figure out what it is.His blastomycosis is still there plus this mysterious substance.He sleeps all the time with tubes for breathing and feeding.It's not looking good right now.

Re: Life Is Short
Uncool Doc. Thinking of you and wishing I could help somehow. Take care of yourself while tending to your Brother. Spent some rare time with one of my Brothers this Weekend visiting old Homesites on the way back from the last Uncles service!

Re: Life Is Short
:hea: Unfortunately it appears that the end is near.His lungs are pretty much dead and his other major organs are in bad shape too.Unfortunately,Steve,to answer your question he is not close by.He is in a hospital in Wisconsin.I considered flying out there and still might,but the problem is he is intensive care and can only have visitors for 10 minutes at a time,he's already gone in terms of being conscious and he may have days or weeks.I am glad that at least I got to see him one final time in December when the family got together for my Mom's services.I also spoke to him on the phone in the hospital 2 and a half weeks ago before he completely deteriated.And to think this all started from breathing in some plant spore that gets in your lungs.He was sick when we had the family gathering for Mom and the doctor there just thought it was a form of bronchitis.Now he's about to die.Life sucks.He's 65 years old.
