Things do happen in threes!

Okey dokey, things do happen in threes!

My not so bright step-brother, who is my age, by the way, almost killed himself in the most ridiculous fashion ever.

Long story, but I will try to keep it simple (and not to giggle too much). He has severe allergies to perfumes and dyes, but chose to purchase colored, perfumed, CONCENTRATED laundry detergent. He then took that detergent to a laundry mat that apparantly does not really rinse all the stuff out. He also chose the More Is Better theory of dispensing said detergent.

Days later, in the hospital, on a ventilator, the Docs finally figure out that the overload of detergent has been building up in his system, through his skin.....................

Update on John and B:
Both are doing very well!
B was sent home tonight. All tests show no signs of organ failure and she is stabalized on insulin.

John will be sent home soon, with a cervical collar for 6 weeks. They believe they will have to operate, but want to wait until the swelling in his spinal column goes down. They wanted him to go to a rehab hospital, but Heather is an RN and works 3 night shifts a week. They agreed she could offer equal care for now. Her retired parents live in a wing of their house, so he and the boys won't be alone.
