hospital stuff
My brother's heart and breathingg numbers are a bit better so they are already talking about letting him out of the hospital. It's very hard for me to believe because he is coughing more than he was when I originally brought him in. My prediction is that he will be back in the hospital pretty soon. That's one of the reasons I have asked that he go to a nursing home for at least a couple of weeks to make sure his meds are well managed. My guess is that they are going to have to be constantly tweaked, and if that's the case, he will no longer be able to live in assisted living. I feel very badly for him. I have not shared my view on this with him, I don't want to get him depressed unnecessarily, in case I am wrong. This has been very hard.
