So my little brother has been sick ... he gets sick (he's one of those people who can't push-til-it's-over - it lays him up with mono or pneumonia or...) ...
... but it seems this time, it's "Wegener's granulomatosis" - he'd been hoping that he'd get something they could name after him when he was confounding them, at first. Seems prognoses are better than in the past - where 80% would die within a year - but the treatments are nasty and toxic. Here's hoping for strength...
