Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Jackie, I know your grief is so emcompassing, and that when you shared your brothers journey with us, that you spoke from your heart. We could all say he's in a better place, and I know that you do know that-- but it still doesn't help. My friend, know this-- there are 600 plus members here-- another type of family, that will hold you and your family-- not only in prayer, but in our hearts. Most sincerely, Tracie Feldhaus NS Co-owner/moderator To: Neurosarcoidosis Sent: Tue, May 25, 2010 9:04:28 PMSubject: I just need to vent a bit. Hi everyone. I just need to tell someone who is not in my family. Hope you don't mind if I sound of a bit. My Brother is two days short of sixty four. A little over two years ago they discovered he had Kidney trouble. They worked with him until they said he needs a transplant. That was all set up, donor found and ready. Nope not yet he has to have blockage removed from his heart. Surgery done we wait. Now they found he has diabetes. Ok so now we have to wait on the bypass and he gets dialysis three days a week. Oh no now his right foot is infected, lets remove it. We wait. only a week because now the left foot has got to go. Now with no legs from the knee down he isn't healing too well. Oh look he has had a bleeding on the brain. We will just fix that and then we will be ready for the transplant. that was last week. The next day he went into a coma. On that day my brother in all practical purposes died. However he is being kept alive by the machines. No not that, he wouldn't like it. Today they told us that if,,,I said If,,,, he wakes he will have severe brain damage. At nine tonight his wonderful wife along with his five children let him go. They were by his side as he breathed his last breath. I am so sad I can hardly stand it. He would be four years older than I. I would appreciate all the prayers we could get for all of his family. He was married to the same wonderful woman for forty five years. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you all for being there for me when I need it.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Oh Jackie, My heart goes out to you and his family, I will keep you in my prayers. My heart would be breaking too, but know he is in a better place, and no more pain, surgeries, etc.. that doesn't mean you will miss him any less. I have 5 brothers the oldest being 67 and just going through treatment for bladder cancer, so I know it would be hard to lose any of them. again, my prayers are with you all. Let us know if there is anything else we can do. Blessings, Marla Hi everyone. I just need to tell someone who is not in my family. Hope you don't mind if I sound of a bit.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Jackie, I too am saddened by your news. It is rough enough to lose a loved one, but he went through more than anyone should have to go through. I am praying for you and your family at this time of loss. It do hope that he was a believer and that his family are too if so as all of you will once again unit in heaven where no more suffering or pain will ever take place. Why God allows any of us to go through pain is a mystery, but it happens and He says that He is there for us and carry us through it all. It truly hope that your brother was is Gods hands during his last hours and that while outward suffering my have been seen and felt, inwardly he was at peace and comfort in God's Holy Hands. I pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding will come upon you and your family and that God will put only fond memories of your brother in your heart and your mind. May God bless and strengthen you through this very difficult time.
