Excellent Catherine. Looks like when people stepped away from helping him, he stepped up.

That's excellent news, and must be a great relief to you and DH.
What a great outcome, Catherine, so glad for him.
Amazing, catherine!

It is pointless to play coulda/woulda/shouda with catherine’s BIL but what could this guy have achieved if not coddled by his mother? The world will never know.
Yes, and Jeppy is right, too. His safety nets were gone and he had to land on his own feet. But I think that what really, really motivated him was his own mortality. He knew that unless he shaped up the best case scenario was having to have an ICD implanted and worst case scenario, he would die.
Not to minimize what he did for himself, though. Lots of people are faced with shaping up or dying, and they choose death, so I'm really glad he was scared straight.

My rave is for my family. I haven't been around much the last week because of some personal stuff requiring travel. It was/is all family related and - without going into details - it just really reiterated how lucky and blessed I am with my family - every single member. I am so grateful for them all - young and old.
