I Won't Accept That

The hospital thinks that my brother has meningitis but the spinal tap came back inconclusive so I'm assuming that they will have to do other kinds of tests to figure it out. His CT scan shows some kind of shadows on the brain that look suspiciously like his brain is bleeding--but they haven't confirmed that yet. He is highly sedated and still on the ventilator. They finally got an IV in..but since they couldn't do it the normal way they had to do somekind of central line...and I'm not really sure how that works. And they've got a feeding tube in finally (considering he hasn't eaten since the 3rd). They have his temperature stablized to 99.something so thats at least something to be thankful for. The hospital working to do an MRI but have had trouble since he was shot with a shotgun a few years ago and I guess has bits of metal in his body. His blood tests should be back by tomorrow. At least hes stable..even if hes not in good shape. At least hes finally getting treatment. And at least we finally have people telling us whats going on. Its hard to think of anything else.

We've found out that there is another case going on that is almost identical to this. Its just not right. Not right at all. Sure life isn't supposed to be fair...but it is not supposed to be this. I won't accept that.
