Hi everyone.
A week ago past Sunday, my brother called me on the phone to tell me that he was in the hospital. Come to find out, the people on the job where he works, had been telling him for two weeks to go to a doctor. He would up developing pneumonia from asthma. The had to drain his right lung and still have a drainage tube on him. He is feeling a little better, but has a long way to go. He really did it this time. I have tried to tell him for years to get meds regulated for his asthma. He has bronchial asthma and never outgrew it. But he is where he needs to be. I would like to ask everyone for prayers that he get better soon and starts listening to eveyone now. I am doing fine after getting the two staples taken out last week from a slip on black ice two weeks ago. Feelin better and getting back into the groove. And on my weight, down to 210, 70 pounds lost to date. Take care all and thanks for listening.

Hi Caroline-

Take care,

Most certainly will.

Take care of yourself too. Glad to hear you are doing better.
 
Sheesh, Caroline, just found your post (have been so busy at work I can only check in occasionally). I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Hope he's coming around by now.

My brother is getting better. He just got the drainging tube out the other day and off the IV's. He sounds better and moving aournd more. I feel that he will be home by next weekend. I am sure that he has thought about what he has to start doing. He has friend from his job visting him everday and there is a chance for them to talk to him. But he has improved greatly. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. Take care everyone.

Well, after posting here and leaving for a time from the house, my brother got released and sent home. He did not call me and tell me about it. We live in seperate dwellings, which right now is best. But I did berate him about not calling, but not too harshly. He is doing better and will be off work for a few weeks to keep recovering. I will keep you all updated to when he has recovered. Thanks for all the support. Take care and be good.
