Things with my brother have worsened. He's now on a ventilator and a form of dialysis called CRRT: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy. His kidneys aren't working efficiently. In short, he's taken a turn for the worse. He is sedated, so hopefully not suffering. I think S and I are going to go up to Dayton Saturday to see him. I fear it will be this last time I see him alive. I just pray to God he's ready for eternity.
