So sorry Sherri
Sherry:

I have been following your brother's story and am so sorry to hear that he has no more options. I can tell you this, my best friend is a hospice nurse and these nurses are wonderfully supportive. They will take good care of your dear brother. I will pray that he finds peace and comfort in his final days. Please know that you are a wonderful sister. He is so very blessed to have you!

Lisa
