I just need to vent a bit.

[Guest guest]

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.
