Dianee's brother in law

[Dianee]

My brother in law passed away early yesterday morning.
We are still in shock that this disease struck him at all, let alone with such fury,
and now we have to deal with his death from it.
The last couple of weeks have been a horrible nightmare as we
watched him lose his bladder function, which caused him to have catheters
inserted and removed several times to avoid infection. Then he started vomiting because his
bowels were shutting down. He became unresponsive two days ago and thankfully
found peace yesterday.
I thank all of you for this forum and your courage to share your stories, especially knowing
there will be no happy endings.
Dianee

Very sorry for the loss of your brother-in-law. My prayers are with your sister and her family.

Thanks for the good wishes. My sister is doing very well as she and her daughters had time to prepare
for the inevitable. I think my sister's greatest fear was that she would have to watch him linger
for months or even years. I pray for a cure for this horrible disease.
