First post
Hi all, Just an update on my brother John. He is in a nursing home in Rapid City. Spent 9 months at my house. Has recovered from his pacemaker surgery but now has liver disease also. Just not able to take care at home anymore.
Second post.
Hi all,
I took the laptop up the other day hoping he would want to use it but doesn't have the energy anymore. The liver disease is causing a lot of shakiness in his hands and legs. I even thought he might dictate me something to write but no go. He is in Black Hills Care and Rehab Center 1620 North 7th St. Rapid City SD 57702. Thank you for all the greetings I will share with him and am sure he would appreciate old fashioned communication too. Basically he has multi organ failure and at one point in March we were considering hospice and 6 months was thrown out there. But he as improved some at the facility but not still not a good prognosis. Heart, lung, liver and kidneys all damaged. Guess all the heart meds caused liver cirrhosis. He is a great guy. Glad we have had this time together this year.
