[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 551062, member: 3419"] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]My sister, K, called a little while ago. We had all spoken to our brother, C, this weekend or at least Fri, because he is home sick in Calif with-a horrid cold and he rarely stays home. He had called us all for our Soc Sec #s because he's working on Dad's life ins policy. What little there is, will go only to him, since he and his wife were paying for Dad's care for several yrs. [/FONT] K said R, my brother's wife, took him to the hospital and his lungs are filled with-fluid, he's got a fever, and probable pneumonia. Worse yet, he and his daughter went on a nice vacation this summer, up and down the coast and also to Yosemite ... home of the fatal hantavirus. C is worried that he has it. K has a rash but that's it so far. Fingers crossed!!!! He is a workaholic and travels the world (most often traveled-to-place: China. Most hated place: China.) He NEVER gets sick.
