heading east

Seems my cousin is in bad shape. After months of chemo, his body was too weak to fight off what amounted to a boil, and which turned into a serious infection which is now in his blood. The doctors were able to remove all the gangrenous material from his abdomen, and that infection stopped spreading, but they're giving him a 30% chance of making it. Right now he's on a ventilator and in a coma.

He has dear friends nearby who are looking out for him. I'll be there Monday night.

I don't know you (I came to you via Michelle's blog) but I feel your pain. My sister died of leukemia 11 years ago and it was a painful way to go. I'm sorry you and your family are going through this!
