Best two-stepper around...

It's only 460 miles from Highland to Cheyenne, but sometimes it seems as far away as the moon. My brother Kenny has been very sick for several days. It's times like this that I wish I didn't live so far away from my family. His son Jimmy tried to get him to go to the doctor but he said no. He basically slept for three days which meant he was not taking his medicine. He has several chronic conditions including COPD, and a irregular heart beat. He takes blood thinners and several other meds. I tried calling several times this week and I also text him, but he never called me back. I was very uneasy about it. Kenny called his son Jimmy Tuesday night and said his was in a lot of pain and needed to go to the hospital. Jimmy couldn't get him in his truck so he called an ambulance.

His blood count was so low that the doctor said if he hadn't come to hospital it would have been matter of hours and he would not have made it. He was bleeding internally from a bleeding blood vessel and two ulcers. He had several blood transfusions. They were able to cauterized the vessel and ulcers. 

He has been in ICU but was transferred to a regular room yesterday. His boys and my brothers have been by his side. I have talked to him few times. He is still very weak. 

My brother Kenny was the best two-stepper around! It was so fun to dance with him, and I'm so grateful he is getting the care he needs. I love my brother.
