my husband's brother. He was 75. Still a long life but with his wife having the beginnings of dementia and all the boys living in different states all the info they could get was so confusing. We kept getting conflicting information. The local hospital was not cooperating (makes me wonder if they didn't feel that they could be sued for not telling him he sould not take the oxy with a muscle relaxer or if they are one of those hospitals that only know what the patient tells them and they didn't know he had it, but he had been in there several times since the mennigitis incident and his doctor is affiliated with that hospital.) I just know that they go no info at all until he got to Vandy. Although unfortunate, and of course, they miss him, they are more at peace now that they were able to see all the info (especially the nurses of the family) and figure out what was going on.
