    My brother is in a pretty bad way. Spent several days off and on with him. He has developed a infection they call Septis which is a infection that attacks your blood and organs. The infection has spread to his spinal cord area and into his legs and the bladder. Worried right now that he might not make it. They were going to do surgery on the spinal area tonight but decided not to now. He is on mega doses of antibiotics. He can't even move his legs. Really, really worried about him. His wife wont leave his side and is sleeping in the hospital room. Sorry to dump this on yea all hear just really scared for him tonight.

    Thanks guys for the prayers. I just came back from the hospital and the doc said he will be in there for up to 6-12 weeks because of the infection he has internally and then 6-12 months in a rehab center providing the infection gets under control. He still cant move his right leg and can barley now move his left leg. He came down sick while they were in Hawaii.
    Pretty worried about him.

    I'm sorry to hear this about your brother Marc, and will send some prayers his way. I know how important prayers are, and hope he is asking God for himself too. All you have to do is "ask, and you shall receive".

    Was up at the hospital again today and he had a rough night last night and his white blood cell count was up. I feel so helpless. Lots of people praying for him here.

    Been spending everyday up at the hospital with my brother. His wife and daughter been pretty much camping out there. He is much more alert now but still very week. Still can't move his right leg. We was talking bikes (big improvement for him) and his wife said he is not riding it anymore and were selling it. Man, saw his eyes and could see the hurt in em. Told his wife later even if he cant ever ride it again you should let him make that decision it'll keep his spirit up knowing its still there. She thought about it then said yea that's a good idea. They said he will be on a antibiotic drip for 12 weeks. After that he will probably be in a rehab center.
    I worked on his car for the wife today and yesterday. Needed a new idler pulley and serpentine belt, plug wires and a few other things. Running a whole lot better now. :)

    Marc,

    You are a good brother. I have a brother I am close to. Can't imagine how all this would feel. You are a good man. Hope your brother keeps getting stronger.
