Greatest thing?

The greatest thing that happened was also one of the scariest. We had sent my brother in law to a doctor in Alaska. Last I heard he was at the pharmacy picking up his meds and then heading to the doctors so they could monitor him while he took them. He's nearly homeless, had been really sick with the flu, many health ailments...

Anyway, after two days we hadn't heard from him even after calling and texting him many times. His daughters hadn't heard from him, so I started calling and seeing if someone couldn't go check on him. I finally got some info from the doctors office that he had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, and he was in ICU on a ventilator. I had to call his daughters so that they could get there asap (they're about 3 hours away from where he was). We were all preparing for the worst. I was making emergency plans to travel up to Alaska, packing my bags, etc. Come to find out he had pneumonia, but was now stable. His girls got there and took care of him, and he was able to get off the ventilator. The great news is that even though he's still in the hospital, we won't be planning a funeral right now. He's going to have a place to live now too because his daughters finally saw how bad things were and saw they have to do something.
