A Major Update

The previous Post was about my Brother and a phone conversation I had with him. What we have since learned - he was having a Heart Attack! No -Not a Stroke - a lengthy drawn-out heart attack. Oh, he has done several things over the last two months that will cause the researchers to rethink and REPUBLISH their Expert Findings.

First a bit of humor - when my brother was taken to Dad's someone at Dad's apartments recognized what my Brother was enduring. He was immediately taken to a nearby Emergency Clinic (& not the hospital emergency room - at least not yet!) When the Dr. at the clinic saw him, he called for an ambulance that often parks nearby to take him to SW. Memorial. Instead the ambulance tech decided and announced that they were taking him to Sugar Land Methodist. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, my sister and family had already arrived, far outpacing the ambulance driver that had asked Sis if she could "keep up". My Sister's comment to the driver as they rushed my brother into ER, was simply "Slow Poke".

Now back to all the things that have gone Right! The Dr. @ the Hospital warned the Family (Sis & her brood, Dad, My Bodacious Wife  and myself that my Brother would probably not survive the day - He Did! Then we were warned about the next day - of which he survived, but with several small "attacks" during the night - so again the Dr. presented us with the bad news that my Brother would not see tomorrow.
Well my Brother HAS survived and is doing Great. On more than one occasion, we have heard any of several doctors comment about their need to republish their most recent findings.

They had several nurses visit him at home for an 'extended recovery program' slated to take months. It has now been modified - he is expecting to finish this part of his recovery very soon (about a month after it began). He was told he would need a 'walker' for stability - yep - you guessed it, he only needs a cane and only on occasion!

Now my question - I wonder what God saved him for, when He could have taken my Brother is an almost painless, quiet manor!??
