I'm glad he responded to you. Now, step back and leave him alone for a bit. As for his medical condition...it's on him to seek out assistance. You've mentioned and let's see if he does something w/the suggestion.
I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that he has ignored your email of last week. They tend to do that when it's something that they really don't want to hear. They are great sweepers for putting things under the rug.
Focus on you!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
