I need something from my brothers and sisters here..my oldest brother mike is in the hospital, he has diabetes and had a heart attack a month ago and didn't realize it, but a problem developed which collapsed a main artery in his leg, in the past 24 hours my brother had 2 surgeries, they used a graft from his other leg which didnt go so well, but the doctors therorize he had sepsis for the last week, and it caught up with him..the surgeon said the best case scenario is he loses his leg, my mom died in a similar way, they kept cutting until my ma was a half -person then the sepsis overtook her, now my brother is in a coma in ccu, and I can't do anything, mike was my brother/father, he always made sure I had a birthday cake and at least something under the christmas tree.I feel helpless.

Just prayed for you and your brother bro. Specifically for mercy, healing and peace. I'll keep doing it too. Invite God in to the situation.

Saying a prayer for you> I know you said your not muchh of a religious man but I pray to the Virgin Mary and St. Padre Pio and I have to say that when I am in a hole I somehow am always able to crawl back out.

Hang in there man. I lost my brother too. I know the pain and stress your going through. My heart literally broke for you as I read this. Know your loved, know your brother loves you and is proud of you and know you have someone who is praying and shoulder ready if you need it!

thank you my friends, my brother is in a medical induced coma and they removed his right leg up to his knee, but as usual, they removed an artery from his good leg to get blood to his bad legs foot..a huge mistake, when my wife and I went to the hospital today, the family said his foot was already dead..so the doctors are leaving the removed leg open, to let the infection ooze supposedly..and now they are not sure about the other leg....the same hospital did the exact same thing to my mom, until she was, literally in half.

My grandfather had the same happen to him. They started with a toe and next thing they took his leg up to his knee. It's never easy to see a family or friends in pain. Many prayers to you and your brother!! Life has come full circle for you. He took care of you as a child and now it's your turn to pay it back. That's Gods way.

Praying for you mate. Probably best your brother is in a Coma. He's probably not even aware. He may even be in Heaven already asking Jesus "What Happened? One minute i was awake, then im in Heaven...". He was fortunate enough to have a younger brother that loved him so much.
