Ben, I am incredibly sorry to hear this. In times like these, I seem to have trouble finding the right words.

Like Zig, I don't pray, but you/your brother/your family will be in my thoughts. I will continuously wish him the best.

Damn man all ya can do is stay strong for him. Just don't show any negative emotions and keep giving positive imput. Back in febuary I was staying a few weeks with my best friend in Jacksonville and out of no where one night while playing video games he starts feeling really sick. His gf takes him to the hospital and they send him home say intestinal prob. Next day same thing goes back and after some testing they gave him 48 hours to live. His liver was failing and needed a transplant imediatly. He was in bad shape but idk he was the fuckjng man. He kept a good mood joking the whole time never lost his personality. The only thing was he never wanted to see someone cry or be sad around him. I think that helped his moral the most. But luckly After waiting up days with no sleep he got the transplant. He's doing fine now needless to say his life will never be the same as he has to take millions of pills and has to watch what he eats but he pulled through.

Sorry to stray away from the op but just keep good moral and spirts high. Best wishes to you and your bro.

I don't know what that is cause I'm a dumb hick, but it must b bad. I hate 2 hear bout it and hope all works out well. We all got 2 go it's just a fact of life and its hard knowing he is only 24, but like everyone has said just got 2 keep him positive and pray that it's not his time. Hopefully this is something he can pull threw and b ok. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
