 BAD.

My brother was in a motorcycle accident last week...I didn't share here because even though his leg was badly injured, I just am not that open about sharing the hard stuff. But I need your support here because I'm really scared for him. He's undergoing emergency surgery right now, because they're afraid they knicked an artery with the catheter when they did surgery to repair the leg. He's been bleeding for an entire week, and been transported back and forth to the hospital several times by accident because he can't even sit up yet,  and they've sent him home from the ER bleeding twice since Saturday. He could be slowly bleeding to death and they've never even x-rayed his pelvis to see why he's bleeding.

Anyway, I just feel like I can't keep my worries to myself anymore, and if I'm not here as much as usual, please understand. I'm going to try to get up and see him this week, so if I disappear, that's probably where I am. If you believe in prayer, please pray for my brother.

ETA:  I just talked with my mom...Dennis is doing better this morning. They've cauterized the artery and think they stopped the bleeding completely...thank goodness! I'll talk to my brother later, but hopefully this means he's on the mend. Apparently he will need about 8 months until he's able to use the leg at all...and that's if they can rebuild his knee after the shinbone heals.

Thank you all so much for your support...I really felt like I was falling apart, and I knew all of you are very good with adhesive, so you could hold me together. Love you all!
