LG Gone Wild Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My father called to tell me that my brother is in the hospital. He nearly died from heat stroke but that's not all. He got a job cleaning abandoned houses and was drinking Gatorade mixed with energy supplements, so not well hydrated. He also contracted a virus but I cannot remember what it does but now he also has some kind of infection. Plus ... there was meth in his system. He was choking on his vomit, had dangerous diarrhea, was unconscious for 48 hours, his body temperature was 107.7, his brain swelled, and his kidneys have sustained some kind of damage. He is conscious now and speaking but not a lot. He has no recollection of what happened. So please pray for my brother, his family, and my dad. Thank you.

LG Gone Wild Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thank you all for your prayers and to the person who tagged my thread. I don't have any news. I will talk to my dad tomorrow to see what happens. My brother will live but the meth revelation and the kidney damage is pretty sobering.
