For my brother

Hey guys, I would greatly appreciate some good thoughts/prayers sent my brothers way.

I dont want to get into details, but he was supposed to start grad school this week. That didnt happen and due to some medical stuff that has been getting worse for the past couple weeks faces a high likelyhook that he will have to withdraw from this semester (and find a way to get out of a 1 year apartment lease) and he may be admitted to the hospital tonight.

The doctors generally know whats going on, but he's not responding to the treatment how he is supposed to at all. We are not sure whats going on at this point besides that he's in a bunch of pain and as his older brother its killing me to see that. They did a CT today and we are waiting on how they want to proceede.

So send some good thoughts/prayers his way as he could use them for sure right now.

    Trust me in that my family is as well. I spent 3+ weeks in the hospital last year and then another month recovering after a surgery.

    Dont want that for him.

    I hope and pray they find something to help him soon.

    I also have and hate feeling pain and feel for his condition personally.

    He is having to withdraw from grad school for this year and move back in with my parents. So hopefully we can find him a good job for the next bit and figure it all out. Not sure how the apartment lease deal is going to play out.

    At least for right now he's set since I let him borrow my blu-ray player along with just about my entire library of dvd's and blu-rays. Hopefully can help him forget his pain for at least a bit.

    Thoughts headed his and your way. There might be an out in his lease about medical conditions. Even if there isn't, just being honest with the leasers might be enough. I had to break a lease due to the bug issues and all parties were in agreement that it was the best thing to do.

    Yeah we will see, one problem however is that its a 2 bedroom and he does have a roommate, however they both signed individual leases.

    I am hoping he can be let out of it to save him some cash, since he has none and my parents cant afford to pay for an apartment there, while he lives at home.

    Its outta our hands and in the hands of God, and I have to say, he kinda knows more than we do....

    That sounds great. Relaxation sure helps in this case until Thur. for sure.

    I hope the other stuff helps his pain also. Good luck with the lease issue too. I'll be waiting for another follow-up Thurs. or Fri.
