Thank you for responding. Unfortunatley, my brother isn't doing well and I'm very concerned. I can't believe he's been through so much, should have been out of the hospital 5 days ago. He looks like he's 5 months pregnant (he is NOT a big man) and is in extreme pain. Again, thank you for your help.
