Many of you have heard me talk often about my brother who was born when I was 12, and who has Down's Syndrome. He is in the ICU and probably will be for weeks but last night they were saying he wouldn't survive the night. I wrote up the details and pictures in a blog post. I know blogger is unfriendly to anyone who isn't a member and makes leaving comments almost impossible, but if you want to just look at a post it usually is good. echo-echosvoice.blogspot.com/2015/09/updated-for-those-who-know-i-love-my.html |

There are many trials and inspirations in your life and I am inspired by your positive outlook. You are blessed to have a supportive family and especially a caring sibling. I'm sending good vibes your way. Say "hey" to Lance from the crowd at Backpacker.

Thank you all.
Latest Lance Miller update from our brother, Brett on Sept. 2 at 6AM
"Lance has not been making the improvements necessary to consider him on the mend quite yet. He will be going in today for a second surgery. The good news here is this surgery is solution oriented. They have found the source of urine leakage into his abdomen and will be placing a tube from kidney to bladder. Lance is still very, very sick. His white blood cell count is 4 to 5 times that of an average person who is very sick. I believe he will come through all of this and be back to terrorizing the local restaurants very soon."

Team Lance Miller update: 9/02/2015 12:15 from Brett
Lance's surgery is postponed for at least today. They are giving him some more time to heal and get a bit healthier before performing surgery again. This surgery is necessary but not an emergency this time. Lance looks good and is getting back to his usual sassy self but gestures that he is happy to be in the hospital getting better. Leaving him rest now. He had 12 IV bags running earlier today.
