Brothers girlfriend (21F) is really sick and currently in hospital. He (21M) can't make it to my (27M) wedding next week and my fiancee (26F) thinks the wedding is ruined.

My brother's girlfriend of a year and a half is really sick at the moment. She was in bed one night and started to have a lot of trouble breathing. It got really bad to the point they needed to call an ambulance. There's something wrong with her left lung that somehow caused it to partially collapse. They needed to go in and do something. I don't understand much about this, but she's on oxygen/lung support. She needs to have another operation on Monday to do something else to her lung. I wish I could remember what the name of it is. I just know it's bad. She is in bad shape. They said even after the operation on Monday she's not getting out for a while. It came as a suprise because she's a very health conscious women and you'd never think there was anything wrong with her. She's studying to be a personal trainer. She looked perfectly healthy, but it just goes to show that anyone could get really sick at any moment.

My mom told me that my brother has been visiting his girlfriend every day at the hospital. He spends a couple of hours there so she doesn't get lonely or bored. I've spoken to him and he's pretty worried. He told me that he may not be able to make the wedding due to this. He and his girlfriend originally planned to fly to New Zealand from Australia for the wedding. He just said he doesn't know if he can leave when she's in this bad of shape. She doesn't have any family. She was a foster kid until she was 18. I said I understand and it's looking like he won't be able to make it because yesterday she got worse. He's 99% percent missing the wedding next week.

The wedding is next week and my fiancee is not really understanding the situation. She thinks that the wedding is not as special if not every member of the family is there. She thinks that it's really important for the day to go off for her perfectly. She said that I needed to find a new best man and it messed up how many groomsmen there were. It caused a big fight and I think the stress is getting to her. She wanted everyone to be there but it's just not possible.

TL;DR: Brother's girlfriend is really sick. Wife thinks it ruins the wedding day if he doesn't come to the wedding next week.
