Today was a real bad day....

I try not to be negative about all of this, but he took a severe downturn yesterday. He had a stroke late Saturday morning. He has brain activity but for all purposes the tubes and wires are keeping him alive. His mrsa infection got worse on top of that. The doctors aren't very optimistic about his chances for the next 24 hours. I hurt for his mom, my oldest niece, who was basically my little sister growing up, and my older sister. I've got a daughter my nephews age...22....they don't have a clue how he even contracted it. I am hopeful for the best but ready for the worst.

I'll continue to update, it helps me. I've lost a lot of people I know and love this year. Thank you all again for your words, stories an support.
