Life is Fragile

So I just got home from sitting with one of my best friends at the emergency room (and then taking him home). He has pains all over his body, especially his back, is throwing up, has a fever, a headache, and is dizzy. The reason this is ER worthy is that he is also diabetic, and badly. Turns out they think he just has the flu (an odd thing for this time of year) but they still gave him an IV and loaded him up with morphine. However, his EKG showed a partial blockage developing in a portion of his heart. I feel so bad for the guy, he never gets a break. Hopefully the heart thing won't get worse, but with his diabetes and all it is hard to say... Meanwhile, in the 'stall' next to us there was this little baby who has had a 102+ fever for like 3 days and has been in and out of the hospital. I also heard some guy who had just been in a car wreck. Kind of a jarring night...it's scary to think about the possibility of my friend dying, I don't know what I'd do. And him combined with all the other insanity reminded me jsut how crazy and fragile life is, and how lucky I am to be as healthy as I am...
