The brother in law has psittacosis-- bird chlamydia. Google it. It's a real thing. Apparently, just before his big bender, a sick wild bird found its way into his apartment. He tried to care for it for a bit. 

The psittacosis caused a very bad pneumonia in him while he was drinking.

He is home now-- on an oxygen machine and three antibiotics. 

C6 is also on the mend. Eventually he went to the hospital and received the COVID antibiotic super-treatment. 

The husband is loosing weight at a healthy pace.

Socially, all is good. Work is stressful. But home is good.
