He had been in the hospital fighting an infection and on Friday we were told that he was probably going to be discharged by Sunday – they had figured it out and he was going to be okay. So we were all in high hopes with incredible optimism.”

So I head over there and what my wife and her mom and her aunt and everybody in her family saw go on was her dad being a [expletive] and trying to kick [expletive] and inevitably losing his fight in this particular day.”
