Broke Down Driver
In Memoriam
My younger brother is in the hospital right now in the ICU recovering from having a battery operated electric pump put in his chest to help keep his heart going, and has been put on the list for a new heart. Before the surgery his heart function was down to about 10% just barely keeping him alive, the doctor said he was basically a dead man walking, it is really upsetting for me to see him with all the different tubes, wires, and IV's running in and out of him, I told him he looks like he could run a city block, they are keeping pretty sedated right now so he does not try to do to much, but they lightened it a little today so that he knew we were there and could nod his head to answer are questions, but can not talk because of the ventilator tube and feeding tubes. The Doctor says he is doing well but we can use all the prayers we can get so he makes a speedy recovery, the doctor said he will probably be in the hospital for about 3 more weeks recovering.
