((((((Bob)))))),

I was just checking to see how you guys are doing.

Thanks G-d there was no blood clot. Certainly don't want that.

Your son sounds like a 'feisty' *IM*patient My Mom was like that. My Mom went after the nurse with a knife -- sure hope your son isn't as bad as my Mom. Some people just cannot take being hospitalized.

I'm hoping that you see more cooperation as he gets used to being there and gets to know the people that are working with him.

I'm like Dahlek -- I take in the 'good news' as *GOOD NEWS* and the 'bad news' as bad news.

I hope when he sleeps and when he dreams, he can feel all the love and support and caring and prayers that are coming his way. Me and all the Moms and Dads in the Child Neuro forum have seen miracles. I hope your son gets his miracle (hope you get yours too).

Bless you all. And hugs.

Hi Bob
I just learned about this and wanted to give you a ((hug)) too and let you know I am keeping your son and you in my thoughts and prayers.
Cheri

ditto what Chemar. Bob, know we are here for you so just hang on ((((Bob & son)))) Jo

Firstly, I'd like to thank you all.
I'm grateful for your thoughts and prayers.
He's still in CCU critical care. A portion of his lung collapsed
yesterday they had to do a Bronchioscopy and put in a different 'trake'.
He'd been fighting and complaining he couldn't breathe- gasping for breath when the respirator was doing 100% of the work.
He seemed to be resting a bit more comfortably with the new 'trake' when I saw him last nite.
I haven't communicated with him since last Fri.
He's been sedated and on pain meds- and 'out of it', or sleeping.
He's still not stabilized.....he's still critical.

((((((bob & son)))))))

y'all are in my thoughts and prayers.

((((((Bob)))))),

I'm glad you son seems to be resting more comfortably. Sleep is probably the best thing for him right now -- it'll help him to heal.

You're all -- ALL of you -- in my heart and still in my prayers.

Bob, even if your son's not awake enough to communicate with, if you just caress his forehead, he'll know you're there. Sometimes touch communicates more than words.

Bless you all.

Just hang in there Bob B. There are hundreds - maybe even thousands of PNers alone praying for you and your family. Another benefit of belonging to these sites. Stay brave....stay strong.
