My brother is on a ventilator

[Beatlelvr]

He and sil went to Lake Havasu for weekend. He started spitting up blood, she took him to emergency.
He has COPD. They did tests, he has pneumonia and maybe recurrence of lung cancer. Put him in ICU. Thank goodness he is somewhere that had a bed available!!

1. Thinking of both of you. Prayers work.

[crickets]

2. I'm so sorry to hear this, Beatlelvr.

All my best thoughts to you and your family with hopes that your brother improves and recovers soon.

3. Hoping for the best for you

4. I'm sorry he is sick.

But definitely glad he is getting the care he needs!

5. I wish your brother well and a good recovery. As one who

has COPD and was hospitalized for two weeks with pneumonia a year or so ago, I can tell you it ain't no walk in the park for sure and the recovery took me a long time. I'm in my eigthties so I am sure that factored into it.
I will certainly keep him in my thoughts.

6. That's awful

[Backseat Driver]

7. Sorry to hear this - perhaps vent will

rest his lungs and body long enough to fight off at least the pneumonia. Sometimes, couples give each other unwise gifts, even in times of pandemics, as they face off their chronic and/or previous illnesses for a chance to have happy memories. Have hope!

8. Yes thank God there was an ICU bed available.

That alone gives him a fighting chance.

I am sending him good thoughts!

11. I hope he pulls through.

Glad there was a bed available for him.

Holding you and your family in my thoughts.

17. I was on a ventilator for ARDS and recovered fully

I hope the same for your brother.

[brer cat]

I hope he recovers fully.
