You are truly not meddling, I welcome your questions and take them as sympathy.

My brother is out of the woods. He called me yesterday and I almost fell off my chair when I got his ear in person. He sounded very weak and very worn out, but he's alive, he's talking and thinking and he's off the equipment. They are now even talking about moving him out of the ICU and into the normal ward very soon.

Yes, I have a big family.

Thank you and best wishes
