They were giving him kumiden(sp) blood thinner.well it was to much and his blood was just water.now he's back in the hospital,in bad shape again.please keep him in your thoughts.in his mid 70's

God be with you, Leon. It isn't those that leave that suffer, it is those that are left.

God be with you, Leon. It isn't those that leave that suffer, it is those that are left.

Words of wisdom there.

I used to look at my parents 90 year old neighbor and wonder what it was like living to that age. I honestly don't know if I could handle it. Almost everyone he has ever loved or befriended is gone. I guess you have to value the friends you have while they are there, and having grandchildren and great grandkids gives you hope for the future.

I wish your friends the best.
