There's not much to do about that except stop smoking and it doesn't sound like that is going to happen.
But he's made a choice to stop his meds, so he will have to suffer the consequences. It's sorta sad that he doesn't want to take care of himself.

I will pray for him to come to his senses.

I'm sorry that Jerry's health isn't good. What is he thinking by quitting his meds without talking to a doctor? I hope he comes to his senses and decides to take better care of himself.

My whole family is nuts...
Not sure why Jerry quit taking his meds...not the smartest thing to do, but it's his life I guess. Pretty selfish and thoughtless if ya ask me. Oh well. At this rate and the way his health is he won't be here long either. I just don't understand him.
