Our Brother Passed Away Today at 6 am

Biking and good health

Our brother who has been struggling with cancer of the colon (and eventually metastized to his lungs) passed away at 6 am this morning according to a text message.

I visited him last night at the hospital and his heart was racing and the blood pressure was dropping:  HR was l30, bp was 80/60.  The doctor suspected him to be hypoglycemic and ordered a bs test.  It turned out to be  l66 and therefore not hypoglycemic.  She ordered an NGT because he had not eaten for the whole day. We were instructed to  keep him awake.  But he just wanted to sleep.

We found out that he was on metered morphine and given sleeping medication.  (And so I thought these two medications gave him the low BP)  And maybe I wrongly advised the immediate family members that that was the cause of low BP.

Let us pray for the repose of the soul of our brother Sixto.
