Hello everyone again. It's only a matter of time for my brother...the calcium level in his blood is getting higher and higher...it may be THAT that kills him, instead of the lungs filling with fluid. But either way, it's very close to the end. His family is peaceful, he's a bit confused and disoriented, which is expected with the calcium problem. I spent the night over there and did Reiki on him as much as I could. After about 3 hours, he had to get up to use the facilities, and it took all my strength to get him up...his feet are sooooo swollen, it's hard for him to walk, and his balance isn't that great, either...and not much strength. But while we were walking, I was suddenly hit with what he must have been feeling. I felt like I had developed a high fever, I felt sick to my stomach, sweating like crazy, and like I could fall over at any time. It was a miracle I didn't just fall down, dropping him in the process. I was able to bring him in to my sister-in-law, and then immediately stumbled to the front door and sat in the doorway to breath in some fresh air. (at 3am!) It soon passed, but I had never experienced that before! Anyway, please continue to bless my brother with your thoughts and prayers and your Reiki. We are hoping he passes soon...we feel that he left us about 2 weeks ago...and yesterday he said he is tired of this, he is done...we were thrilled to have a moment of awareness, but sad to see that he just wants to go. Who can blame him? He's on morphine every hour, as well as an anti-anxiety medicine, that is supposed to help him when he can't breathe. That would make ME rather anxious, as well! Thanks so much again!
