Kay in Cal Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My little brother, 27 years old, died this morning. He had burned his hand at work, and was treated at the hospital with antibiotics and painkillers. He was sent home to bed, and never woke up. Our current guess is that he was given an accidental overdose, as his blood pressure was dropping very low when they sent him home. His girlfriend is just hysterical. It's so awful. My parents were here visiting California this week--we got the call while I was driving them to the airport. I am still in shock. I can't believe he's gone. It feels like some horrible mistake. My dh and I are trying to arrange to fly to Florida as soon as possible, but we have to work out who can watch the kids. Anyhow, I know I haven't been hanging around the boards much any more, but I would appreciate prayers and thoughts from old friends and new.

cindyinTexas Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I feel your unmeasurable pain. My brother was in a fatal car accident when he was 19. "It feels like some horrible mistake." Unfortunately this feeling will follow you around for a long time. I will be praying for your whole family.
