My apologizes not being in touch for awhile, it’s been crazier than usual to say the least. Here is the condensed version.
My bro talked me into signing up on face book to keep in touch w/all the nieces and nephews, etc. On 7/30/09 I found out he was sick when one of the daughters put on face book "on my way to So CA to pick up my kids, my dad is in the hospital"
He contacted "a flesh eating disease" while at church camp they don't know how he got it. The nurses looked at it told sis in law to get him to the hospital ,that saved his life
They removed two huge chunks of flesh from his left leg (sis in law took pic's offered to show me said no thanks)
he had 10 treatments in bariatrict chamber which forced oxygen into his system it was 2 times a day 3-4 hrs ea for 5 days. to kill the bacteria he was on a resp after surg when they tried to disconnect he couldn't breathe on his own, but since he would panic in the chamber they left in a "coma" He is doing much better they did skin grafting on Tues came thru it with flying colors, now they have to decide if they will do skilled nursing in a facility or at home in about 5 days He is differently an energizer bunny!
Mom has Alzheimer’s she was living with them so had to find her other living arrangements while I was out there
found a temp home for her in Lancaster, CA but am looking to get her placed in Sacto area since the grand kids and older sis live up north so they can visit. Also not so sure bro & wife won't end up there. My older sis supposed to find the home for mom
