| Please Say a Prayer for My Twin Brother Jerry has had the flu for several weeks. He would not go to the doctor even though my SIL has been trying to get him to go. He finally went today and was admitted to the hospital with severe dehydration. He was on the verge of kidney failure. They did an ultrasound this evening to assess any kidney damage but they won't know until next week. Please remember him in your prayers. I don't know how serious this is but I'm not ready to lose my Twin. I can't even imagine how awful that would feel. Thank you so very much.

| Flu So sorry that your brother had such a terrible and lengthy bout of the flu. Poor guy to get so bad and dehydrated. Praying that any kidney effects were minor and that his system will recover with rest and treatment. I know it is scary but I am sure the docs will get him over this crisis and he will get better again. Thinking of you and praying hard all will be well. |

| Thank you so very much for your prayers. They are very much appreciated. I just got off the phone with my SIL. She was pretty hysterical. There seems to be some problem with his bladder and a possible blockage somewhere. He might need surgery. Should know the results of the ultrasound tomorrow. Again, thank you so much for your prayers. I just hope everything can be fixed.

| update The doctors gave the results this morning. Only one kidney is functioning right now. He has a blood clot in his bladder that they plan to remove on Monday but they want to try to get that other kidney functioning first. His blood pressure was sky high when he was admitted and it is coming down. His potassium was way high too. But I guess that is coming down too. Unbelievable this all seems to be happening from a case of the flu. We had been trying to get him to go to the doctor but he flatly refused. My SIL and I finally managed to talk him into going to urgent care yesterday. He went to Walgreens prior to urgent care and my SIL told me that they told him there that he either has Lyme disease or cancer. How scary that must have been for him. My sincere thanks for all of your prayers. In my mind this could have been worse. We were terrified about it being cancer. Please continue praying. You all mean so much to me....I can't even put into words how much. I told my SIL I can't even imagine e what it would belike to lose your twin...like half of yourself is gone.

| The poor guy! Sounds like he was miserable for so long before he finally got in for care. I'll continue to pray for him.

| Your poor brother! But I'm glad the news was not as bad at what Walgreens told him. They shouldn't do that!! Praying that he will be able to have surgery Monday and for all to go well.
