Janet, I agree men are not good patients. Gary is about the best "man" patient I have ever seen - but he has had lots of practice since he's been in the hospital 11 times in the past 7 years. Even so, sometimes he tries my patience. I think Bryan is just bored. He really doesn't feel too bad, and he doesn't really like to watch TV. Brooke said he will read, but didn't have anything right now to read and she says he is really picky so she didn't think she could pick something out for him. He has his laptop and iPad, those keep me occupied when sitting in the hospital with Gary. I think though, he just doens't know how to be a patient. Hopefully, he'll get to come home tomorrow.

Yes, both Brooke (33 yrs old) and Bryan (40 yrs old next month) are too young for major health problems - but both have had major stress for the past 8 months. I guess it is all coming out right now. Hopefully, these health issues will be a lesson in taking care of yourself and not letting stress get the best of you. My daughter will take good care of him and I think she will be OK too. I'm just sorry they are not in Austin where I could help with Emma (of course if they were still in Austin, they probably wouldn't be having these health problems!).
