I am hoping for your advice to share with him about how to cope with the air travel so he can get home. I'm trying to recall if he bought travel insurance, however as I would prefer him to be home rather than delaying his return I'm not sure that insurance makes a difference. He has traveled extensively over the years, but not in this condition. I would be appreciative of any info you can share with me that could help him.
