We got within an hour of home last night before receiving a call to turn around and come at once to the hospital. We learned that Bruce had been rushed back into the ICU with a high fever and severe breathing problems. After we arrived, there was time to comfort him, exchange a minimum of words, and see that he was working hard to stay with us. Obviously he’s scared, but with a strong will to pull through. The decision was made to support his recovery by alleviating the burden on his heart and lungs with a ventilator.
