Patty,
Sorry but I don't really know that much about Dr. Ajani other than seeing the name on the department listing. I do hope all is well with your brother and he is developing a better fighting spirit. My wife has really taught me that a persons mental state does a lot to help to improve their outlook and really goes a long way in making everyday count. The thing that we have to do is to understand that every day is a day to be treasured and we have to make the most of each day. The saying "Today is a gift and that's why it is called the present" means a lot more to me today that it did six months ago. I am a long term planner but Jackie's disease has taught me to simply focus on today and be greatful to God for today. Your brothers' doctor is right, we are not promised tomorrow. I am praying for you and your family and pray that God would bless you and I do pray that your brother would be comforted and/or healed by God and that He would grant your family peace, comfort and His presence. Take care and keep in touch.
Bill
