Michael's father has fluid buildup in his lungs and an infection that they seem unable to beat back. He has declined hospitalization. The doctor said there isn't much they can do in any case, and that if he goes into the hospital he is unlikely to return. They're going to try antibiotics, but they don't seem particularly hopeful.

Michael's stepmother asked Michael to come. She's never done that before.

Michael has a plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon. He has a return ticket for Tuesday, too, but we don't know whether he'll be in a position to use it.

I think this is the end. I have thought that before, but I don't see this going anywhere but worse. Michael is in a bad place, and could really use your thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry, Michael! When you see BIll, please give him my best regards. I remember him quite fondly. I can just picture him standing in the doorway between the kitchen and den, highball glass in hand, watching us geek out over one rpg or another.
