A little more than a year ago Josh got a severe illness that was never identified entirely, but it attacked his liver, kidneys, pituitary gland, and who knows what else. Quite probably his heart and lungs were also damaged. Even though he was hospitalized for a short time they (the doctors) did not check his heart or lungs. - in May Josh began waking at night complaining that his arm had fallen asleep. Both of us wrote it off to overwork (the work of shoveling had just begun) and he had previous nerve damage on his elbow. Then about June he experienced a chest pain which he said indicated that he needed to take off some weight. - late July he started going into a manic phase again. August 29th, he told my brother that he was walking to the hospital and that was the last that he was seen. His ‘remains’ were found on September 24th in a field area of our property. ... It is my thought that his heart was effected from the "bug" that he had gotten a year or more back, the arm which had been falling asleep was his left arm (hind sight being 20/20, I know that it should have worried me)
