I dunno how much of you are in the religious state, or

pray much - and I know this is WAY off topic but I'd

like to give you a small update incase noone hears

from me for a while...



My brother(36) was admitted in the hospital a few days

ago. I'm not sure how to spell it - but it has turned

his spine yellow. He has been in intensive care for

about 3 days. The doctor told my sister-in-law that

people with this type of illness I guess you'd call

it, die within 4 days. The day he was admitted, it was

the 3rd day. The doctor said don't worry, he will

live. Which is a big plus!!! We're still not certain

his family (wife, two kids one is 3 almost 4, the

other one was born in sept. less than a month old)

have this or not.



Please, if you can keep him and us in our prayers, I'd

be really happy. My parents will be going up to

Georgia probably this week/weekend. (I would go, but

because of school, I can't do it.)



Update:



Surgery didn't do too well(his first one, as how all

this started)... He might need surgery again.. any

kind of movement.. he could die because of the

infection. He doesn't want another surgery... etc. If

he has the surgery.. he could either die or be

paralized for life.



My parents will be living to Ga, and keep me up to

date. If I have to go drive up to, I will probably be

gone for a week. Just giving updates... If I find out

anymore, I'll let everyone know. The ones who met my

brother when I went to meet some of the Ga folks,

please email me off-side.... if you'd like, thanks.

Sorry to hear that.. I will pray for him..

my prayers are with u during this difficult time

wow that is terrible. i hope for the best

Sorrow - it can kill you. After 4 days of having it, most people die from it. Marc (my brother) is lucky he's still alive.



The bad thing is.. is now he's saying he wants to be checked out of the hosptial, wants a divorce, etc. I think he's saying that because 1. he's drugged up so bad 2. he's afraid of dying.



Thank you all for your prayers. I've had some on here and on the mrccfl list give me their thoughts and prayers and the one's that live close to me offered a lending shoulder.



Anyway thanks again. I'll be sure to give updates once I recieve them.





:( Nope... I haven't been able to keep my emotions in ... I feel like I wish I could have his spot so he can be normal and well again.. and take care of his family. But ya...

Sorry to hear that Christi!

Let me know if you need anything Christi. I'll be here if you do.

holy crap that sucks, im really sorry. Think about how lucky we are.
