well, his asthma has cleared up - that’s the good news. unfortunately though, his pneumonia has not, in fact it has stayed the same since his was put in the hospital. the doctors told us today that he will more than likely be unconcious/in the hospital for the next week, if it does not get better he could be there for up to two weeks. ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > Are they giving you a positive outlook beyond that? they keep saying it’s just a waiting game for him to get better. idk if that’s a good thing or bad thing, i’m assuming they’d tell us if it wasn’t looking good?..but idk. i’m keeping a positive outlook though, i’ve been visiting him since he was put in the hospital, his school sent about 30 million get well soon cards from all the students and friends and family keep visiting and helping me and my family out ---

ive had pneumonia a few times. Last time it prettu much shut down my left lung. I was out working and just kept getting more and more tired and it got to the point where I couldnt even push in the clutch on the ranger. Then I went to the dr and they gave me the “wtf!!!” look…u know…the one when youre really sick and do nothing about it for a while lol and they look at you like youre retarded. Long story short, I was in bed for nearly 3 weeks. This was just a few months ago. They gave me all sorts of hardcore antibiotics and whatnot and I kicked it half way decently…till 2 weeks later when I got bronchitis lol. But yeah I hope ur bro is ok. He should be fine. He is young, his body should be able to recover from an infection like that in no time. besides just think of all the pussy that will be all over him when he gest back to school lol. It could be the best thing thats ever happened to him. ---
