On top of the house falling apart ... my brothers intestines are falling apart too. Both my twin bro's have crohnes... my dad has crohnes... my dad's evil mother had crohnes.
Well last night at about 1am I got a call from my brother's girlfriend letting me know she was taking him to emerg. Finally was the first thought that popped into my head. My brother has not been able to eat more then one meal a day for over a year. He is now 6 foot and only weighs about 155.... not good. But hey, he has been on these great herbal bla bla bla things that have done him NO GOOD... do you hear the anger in my typing.
Anywho (and anger is released into the black hole) they gave him morphine for the pain and started him on some very strong roids (that otta kill his liver). Doctor after Doctor has come and looked at his ex rays... specialist after specialist... and we are still waiting on another specialist.
We all know that removing the part of the intestine that is blocked is only a short term fix.... drugs will harm his body... no drugs will kill him... and here we sit waiting .... waiting on another specialist to pick the less of all the evils.
I love my brother and he is an amazing man... this kills me to see and hear him go through all this. But I must also type that our parents are out of the country... and at this time he does not want me to worry them (so that means don't tell Mommy on me). Well I will give him 12 more hours to get his butt out of the hospital or I am calling and telling on him. And if they do cut him open ... all bets are off.
I can say that this time around I am much more relaxed.... been here before and I know it will all work out ... right ... right....
