Brandon's cousin died Friday morning from complications sustained during the accident with his dad. Marianne took him to the emergency room Thursday night because he was not breathing so they stablilized him and then sent him home. She begged for them to keep him overnight but they said there was nothing wrong. Friday morning he stopped breathing again, and we are told he died en route to the hospital. The funeral will be Tuesday. Truly this is a great tragedy in the Howard family. It is really very overwhelming for Marianne, we hope she can make it through all of this. We saw Brady at his dad's funeral and he looked very weak, but we expected him to pull through.

Then, today, I had to write, write, write to make up for missing Monday. Another funeral and another tragedy. What on earth do they think it was--damaged lungs or internal bleeding? I cannot believe it. How are Grandma and Grandpa taking it? They must also feel crushed. Of course, it is hardest for Marianne. I wish a medical person would ever listen. If they had kept my Dad overnight at the hospital they may have figured out that he wasn't doing that well. The same in this case. They should have kept him there, at least under observation. I am so sorry. Love, M
