Bad news.
I just got a call from my aunt. My cousin is in the hospital and they are only giving him 2 weeks to live.
He has had MS ever since he was a child; even earlier really. They said he wouldn't live past 7, but he did. They said he wouldn't live past 12, but he did. They said the same at 16 and then again at 18, but he did. Now he's 21 and all I can picture is him in diapers or climbing all over me, trying to win a wrestling match at family functions. He's just a kid!
And now his lungs have failed completely. They talked about a transplant but say its too late. I don't understand how. He has been monitored and watched like a hawk since he was a baby. He goes in for routine checks and fluid cleanings of his lungs all the time. How on earth is it too late!?
I'm scared. I don't want to goto his funeral. He's too young! Anyways, I'm visiting him in the hospital tomorrow. I hope all the doctors are wrong. I hope.... I just hope for the best.
