Well that's what we were looking at on Monday, then by some miracle he was getting better. But it's over this time.Hurricane2k9 wrote:
Finny and Camm,
lots of us give you shit sometimes but we're all here for you. I hope your brother can still make it... sometimes things have a funny way of working out when the odds seem so stacked against it.
I'm so sorry.Camm wrote:

John's my dad's girlfriend's son, but we're so close he's a brother to me. He has a condition called cystic fibrosis (wiki it), and he got an fluey infection and was admitted to hospital on the 28th december, and has been there since. On monday my dad texted me saying the consultant had said to prepare for the worst, but somehow he started gettting better again. My dad phone me this morning to tell me that it's pretty much game over. He's on a morphine drip, so he's comfortable, and he doesn't know what's happening, all he knows is that he's figthing the infection. Me and Fin aren't going through, because my dad says that it would make him anxious if he knew people were coming to say goodbye, and because I just want to see him it's making it harder. Haven't seen him in 2 weeks...Jaekus wrote:

I dunno man, just hope you guys are ok.
Prepare for the worst, and the best usually happens. I feel for ya, knowing someone could die and the feeling that you can't do anything is the worst.Camm wrote:

Doing that wouldn't change the mood, people can sense when things aren't right, or when there's a melancholy feel in the room. I would drop him a line and see whats good, you never know.Jaekus wrote:
Man, I don't really know what to say. I guess there's nothing really to say, is there? But it's not quite game over yet. Perhaps you can visit him and make it like a "hey bro, haven't seen you in a couple weeks and just thought we'd drop by to say hello". You know, just make it a casual thing? For his sake if nothing else I guess.
I dunno, these things are always fucking impossible. The way I deal with it is to act like nothing is wrong to the person it is happening to (in my case my dad, brain tumour, cancer) and make whatever time you have a positive experience. But I don't know the situation for you guys. I dunno man, whatever happens it doesn't sound good
No disrespect and not trying to be morbid, but if things could be bad it surely doesn't matter that much? Dunno, my dad got really sick and we just tried to make whatever time was left into a good thing.UnkleRukus wrote:

Same with my dad until he got really sick. Seriously, just make it like you're dropping in to have a chat like you would at any other time. Like you're saying hi cause you haven't seen him for a couple weeks and just keep the whole exchange like a totally normal thing. Just my suggestion anyway, lots of salt can be taken with it.
If he doesn't know if the worst could happen, then maybe the worst wont happen. Stranger things have happened.Camm wrote:
The thing is guys, John doesn't know that it's probably gonna come to the worst. All he knows is that he's fighting the infection. The nurses/doctors haven't let on, my parents who are with him are putting on a brave face so he doesn't get worried.
Aww man, fuck that's tough.Camm wrote:
