Yep...
My Dad called me this afternoon and told me my 1st Brother was bringing my 2nd Brother to Dad's House as he thought my 2nd Brother had had another seizure. I asked Dad why 1st Brother wasn't just taking him to the Hospital. He said he wanted to examine him and make the call himself.
I called my 1st Brother and asked 2nd Brother's condition. He told me. I told him he ought to take 2nD Brother to the Hospital. He said he didn't want to upset Dad. I told him not to unload 2nd Brother when he got to Dad's House. I told him I wanted Dad to evaluate 2nd Brother in the truck.
1st Brother brought 2nd Brother right into the house and 2nd Brother convinced Dad that he was gonna be OK. This was at about 3 pm this afternoon.
I examined my Brother and he had a lump about the size and shape of a banana on the right top of his head. I told him he had suffered a head injury at the very least and I felt he should go to the ER just to be on the safe side. My Mom jumped all over me and told me that Dad (The Doctor - Retired) has made the decision to not take him. I told Mom that my 2nd Brother is 39 years old and seems to be able to make an intelligent decision on his own at the moment and that if he decides not to go to the ER, then it was his call. I told them both that I highly recommended 2nd Brother go get checked out but if he wasn't going to go...at least it was his decision and that if he died during the night I at least tried to convince him to make the right call and go to the ER. He kind of looked like he might have a seizure right then but he kind of came out of it quick and said he could live with his decision to not go to the ER. I said fine...I too can live with that. I left and went on with my Life.
Tonight Dad called. They were at the ER and he told me that I was right earlier and that he should have listened.
2nd Brother had had 3-4 more seizures after I left and Mom (Who has Pancreatic Cancer) had to drive Dad and my Brother to the ER tonight around 9:30 pm. Dad can't drive anymore.
I went up there and made them go on Home and the Doctors Admitted my Brother. I got him settled in a room about 12 am.
I'm beat.
Prayers for my Brother please.
Thanks again Oval.
