REVISED Needing Prayers and Good Vibes
Brother On Life Support then dies.
Thursday, December 1, 2016 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Everything Else
My brother is in ICU on life support, prayers needed...he has respiratory failure, lungs full of fluid, high CO2 and low oxygen levels, very confused, and it seems he's been off his meds for diabetes, etc.
He smokes, eats too much, generally doesn't take care of himself.
They have him at critical status.
I would appreciate any prayers and well wishes.
EDIT: My brother is now gone. See my last post.

Best thoughts Jim...
I'm sure they'll do their best for him.
Maybe this will be enough to get him to do that for himself, too.

Well, after returning home for a few weeks, my brother had some kind of attack early this morning. The EMTs said they couldn't revive him. At the ER, they put him on life support. They said he had been at least 30 minutes without oxygen. The doctors said that if he survived, he would be severely brain damaged.
I got the call at 3:45 AM.
Sadly, as per his wishes, we pulled the plug at 8:30 this morning.
