    Oh my gosh...

    I'm so sorry you and your family are going through all this!  It's very upsetting to feel like the hospital is not being sensitive to our needs.  It seems like they often act without thinking too much about the family when it comes to emergency situations, but they still should have contacted you when they moved your brother.  That seems like basic courtesy, if nothing else.

    But it sounds like he's doing well from your last update.  Very glad to hear that.  I guess that's the main thing, now that all the dust has settled.  Give him a hug from us!

    Glad you tookcare of things for your brother.  Hopefully the hospital has taken notice and will continue to consult you.  Especially glad to hear that he's doing better.  That's the best news in all of this.  Hope it continues and he's home soon. Traci

    Thanks Traci

    The nurses have been great, so far. I've been in touch with them several times a day (of course I have to call them). When I spoke to the nurses this evening, they said as soon as they wean him off the heart meds he will leave ICU and go to a room.
