An unfortuante update on Mom and Brother
Hi Guys
Thought I post a quick note on here about my mom and brother. My mom is in the final stages of Pulmonary Fibrosis and Sclerodema, she's been fighting this for several years now. She has had to go to the hospital a couple times in as many months. Her weight has dropped to under 110 pounds. My brother has been fighting cancer for a couple of years and they had thought that the cancer was in remission. During one of the routine re-evaluations they discovered that the original mass was back in the same position. They tried a different chemo and it had no affect. So now they are trying radiation therapy. My brother is not really giving any information on what's happening to the family. My mother is worried that my brother will die before she does. My dad is worried that when he looses one of them, in very short order he will loose the other. In the meantime, I'm trying my best to maintain a professional, safe attitude while being on the road.

Wow....so sorry to hear about your mom and brother. It's bad enough to have one family member that is sick like that (I know from experience) but to have two at the same time must be really hard on you and your family. My prayers are with you and them.
