He's been doing "ok " on oxygen with his one lung up until about 2 months ago He just recently got divorced, has 2 small kids from this marriage and a 28 year old from his first marriage. So he was living alone. About 30 minutes from us. Anyway we hadn't heard from him so my other brother went to his house and found him in bed in terrible condition. Brought him to the hospital he has the flu, ecoli and his one Lung is in bad shape. He's been on and off the vent 3 times, we've had all our churches praying the doctor was sure he'd have to stay on the vent for the rest of his life. Yesterday the decided to give him one more try on his regular oxygen in his nose, he did great!!! The doctor came in and said he'd watch him for two more days and if he does good he won't have to have the track thing put in his neck. I've been up there constantly he's a super nice guy all the nurses love him, he's so funny. Please pray for him he's 54 his name is David and he is truly one of the good guys having a rough time. Thanks Liz

Oh I feel sad for your brother and i will pray for him. You have done what a sister can be to save him. Stay with him and to make him happy, the resilience may help him become better, and add to the great effort of the hospital... God bless him can turn better.
