    Hi everyone,

    Here is an update from Monday 11/12. Today we got the news that Scott, my brother, has developed pneumonia in both of his lungs. This is a major set back for him because he is now using the vent to breathe where as before it was just a precaution and keeping his airway fron closing shut. Now he cannot breathe without the machines. :-( so they say it could be 3-5 days before anything improves if the antibiotics begin to work. But the good news is that his skin is healing very well and his new skin is coming in well. Please continue your good thoughts to help him heal his lungs. I do have to fly back to chicago on Wednesday night because I have been out here for almost 2 weeks and I need to return to my job.

    I'm still thinking about him GraySaturday. Pneumonia is fairly easily cured, isn't it? So here's to hoping! :)

    I'm very sorry to hear this. Will someone stay with him at the hospital? How old is he? Try to be strong and give him some energy. Hopefully a few months from now you'll be able to look back at all of this like a bad dream.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    my mom will be with him constantly, and my dad comes after work each day because he had to go back to work this week. My brother is only 16.

    I'm wishing and hoping the best for him, and like I say, call if you need anything. It sounds like he's going to do well.
    If his skin is healing, that sounds great. It's always so scary to see someone looking that sick in the hospital and so many people get pneumonia and the tubes are in there and it just looks bad, but as soon as you know it, he'll be out in the world again!
    He IS in a great place at Crozier, and he has loving people around him and so do you!

    I send you and your family my very best. :)

    Sorry to hear about the setback as well. He is young though so that is definitely in his favor and the other news is great! Please keep us posted and take care yourself. :)
