My Son.

I am glad to hear that your son is feeling better. It is a sign of the bond that exists between the two of you when he wanted to be with you during his personal crisis.

Now we need to work on getting you back into shape.

I wish you well and hope you get back to your “normal” routine with your son soon.

There is no more painful and helpless feeling than watching one of your kids laying in a hospital bed. I’ve been there too. Thankfully, my daughter’s story had a happy ending also. God bless you both.

Glad to hear your boy is doing better. I have spent a fee nights in the hospital years ago. Now we got to worry about the granddaughter that was in the hospital last month for a few days but its mom’s turn to stay with her. My baby girl turn 33 last week.

God Bless

It’s moments like this that let us know that there is more to being a man than being macho. At 14 months old my son spent 5 days in a children’s hospital after an emergency surgery, my wife and I never left his side. Being there and seeing one of the nurses, a male about 6’ 3’’ 240lbs. who looked tough as nails, care for my son as tenderly as any woman would have was a real eye opener. I realized how tough he must be to have to see all those kids in pathetic circumstances and keep enough strength not to just weep. I have the bond you speak of with both of my boys, now 9 and 6. There aren’t too many things in this world that can touch me like their unconditional love.
Glad your son is doing better now its your turn.

Thank you all for the kind comments and prayers they are greatly appreciated. My son is up and running like new again with the only effects of his hospitl stay being a missed ear infection which resulted in a ruptured ear drum. That issue is being addressed on the legal front now. However other thab the irritating ear drops he has to tke two to three ties a day he is acting normal again. AGAIN thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers.

I think stuff like this is especially hard on those that are called to help others when the chips are down, so to speak. Medics are supposed to be able to fix things quickly but then there’s this reality thing… I don’t know about you, but it’s one thing to be able to remain detached on a “patient,” and another thing when those emotional boundaries don’t hold because “the patient” is one of your own…
