Just learned my brother's in the hospital with (possibly) pneumonia :c he's at my dad's this weekend; tonight he (my dad) walked into his room after feeling like something wasn't right and found him lying on the floor breathing really quickly and unable to get up. He had to call an ambulance. I'm terrified for him because he has autism and has severe sensory issues; he must be so overwhelmed right now with all of the nurses prodding at him. Since he's non-verbal it's doubly stressful when these things happen, as we cannot know for sure what his exact symptoms are as he can't express them like you or I can. (They're still doing tests; he's been sick with the flu, like I was, but I'm so worried-- people have died from the flu this year. If something were to happen to him it would destroy me.)
