    Yeah, this is huge. And, you take care of yourself, too. You can't help but be absorbing some of his stress. (or, maybe you can! )

    Update

    Good news, first: sister is off prednisone and her kidneys appear to be functioning.

    Not good news on the uncle. The only thing I know to pray there is "God's will be done," and comfort for the family. It really seems we're beyond the point where any earthly outcome will be happy.

    My positive thoughts are with you and your dh's family. Remember to accept the things you can not change. A lot of times familyies are like this!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    Answers to prayers are not always what we think they should be... Sometimes the real answers are that we get through these difficult times. You all are in my prayers, whatever the answer...
    That made more sense when I thought it than when I typed it.

    Uncle passed away this afternoon.

    I've only just had that news by text message. I can't imagine what the scene must be like there.

    By all accounts he enjoyed his life and lived it to the fullest. It's just a shame it had to end this way. Make out your living wills, people.

    Oh, Oakleaf, your whole family is in my prayers.

    +1 on the living wills.
