get well, brother of mine / prompt rétablissement cher frère

I have a bit of sad news to share with you. My dear brother is back in the hospital for at least 6 weeks. A nasty rare bacteria got into his whole body while they did brain surgery on him back in February. As a result, they had to take the 2nd shunt they had put in. So, he's back with severe headaches and dizziness. I feel so bad for him; it seems there is not end to his suffering and I wish I could take the pain away from him. But he was in good spirits this afternoon. I brought him a card and the little frog made him smile. Get well soon, dear brother of mine. I love you XXX

J'ai de mauvaises nouvelles à partager avec vous. Mon cher frère est de retour à l'hôpital pour un très long séjour d'au moins 6 semaines. Lors de sa première opération au cerveau, il a contracté une bactérie rare qui a nécessité le retrait de sa 2ième déviation. Le résultat: des maux de tête hyper-sévères et des étourdissements. Je me sens tellement impuissante et j'aimerais pouvoir lui enlever son mal. Mais il était de bonne humeur cet après-midi. Je lui remis cette carte et la petite grenouille l'a fait sourire. Une bien petite consolation... Remets-toi vite, mon frère adoré. Je t'aime XXX
