Update on my nephew - my heart is in a million pieces

After surgery, my nephew started to wake up and respond to voices, but they couldn't find where he was bleeding internally. He was bleeding out faster than they could pump blood in to him, and so my brother and sister in law had to make the hardest decisions of their lives so far.

There was just too much damage to his internal organs, the Dr suggested they take him off life support...so they did, he passed just after midnight last night/this morning.

He was so young, only 22 years old. He was always smiling, laughing, joking with everyone. Such a happy, bright soul. I know he is having such a joyous reunion with his niece (his sister's baby girl that she lost in delivery a couple years ago), so I'm trying to focus on that but it is SOOOO hard. It hurts so bad to think I'll never get to see his smiling face, a smile that went all the way to his eyes. Never get to hug him again, and we won't get to do the Jackpot trip we had planned.

RIP LKS, hold Ema tight and watch over us all! I love you so much bud!

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I wish I could say they helped create a miracle but I hope they at least took a little of his pain/suffering away.

My nephew got a scholarship

My nephew got a scholarship for baseball in college, played basketball and golfed...far too active to be left in a state like your SIL, that's terrible!

You're right, his parents definitely did make the right decision. I think the thing that is killing me the most is I'm 4 hours away, and didn't get to go to the hospital to say goodbye But I know he's free of pain and in a better place now.

I'm so sorry. I just lost my mother 3 weeks ago. I understand that feeling of just wanting to pick up the phone and say hi or needing to hug them. Loss is so hard to deal with. So young and suddenly. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
