My handicap Brother was taken to the hospital today. He has pnemonia but something is wrong I am thinking. He really doesn't breath very well and at the hospital his oxygen level was tumbling pretty good. So, they put him on a venalator(sp). Now he is in Intensive Care.
It was so hard to see him with all the needles and an oxygen mask on him. Thats my buddy. And he's going to be in the hospital for at least a few days. Holy shit.

Sorry to hear that man. Hope everything works out well, I'm sure it will. Positive thinking is the best approach to these things, IMHO.

Thanks all! He is doing alittle better. In more a stable position and more confertable it seems. I am hoping in a day or so he will be able to breath on his own, just don't know if that's going to happen.

Just a little update on him. Still in ICU and still has the tubes. But, tomorrow morning they are going to try and see how he does without it. So, they are taking it out! We are excited to hear that. I haven't seen my brother awake since he went in the hospital last tuesday. This is the beginning for him to get out of the hospital soon.

He is doing pretty good without the Ventilator. They have him in a oxygen Mask, and probably will for a few days but he is in good spirits for the most part. He still has alot of crap in his lungs and just needs to caugh it all up and get it out of there. He was talking and was wide awake, but he was also fighting the doctors as well lol. He doesn't like what they are doing to him.
Very encouraging though and cant wait till he can come home. I fucking miss him not at home.
Thanks again everyone!
