With My Heart Heavy...
My brother and his wife made the brave decision to take the baby off the respirator and feeding tube this afternoon. He was given last rites shortly there after.
He took a turn for the worse a couple of days ago. He starting having seizures. The tests showed that he had between 15-20% of his brain present. His liver and kidneys were not functioning. There was no chance for him to survive.
I know he's not in pain. I know he is no longer suffering.
But my heart is just so heavy right now....I feel like I'm walking around in a fog.
I don't know if I want to drink every drop in the house, eat every bit of chocolate in the cabinet or what.
So I'm just going to sit and breathe.
