I am posting this letter of thanks to kill several birds with one stone.
Late friday night, my son had a severe asthma attack and was admitted overnight to the hospital. He was released at 10:00am Saturday. Saturday afternoon at about 4:10pm, he went totally LIMP as his air passages were swollen shut. He was re-admitted to the hospital, and stayed there until 1:00pm today. I stayed by his bedside the entire time, and for about 2½ hours Saturday afternoon he was VERY CRITICAL .... the doctors started telling us, "We are doing everything we can for him, at this point."
With that ... I just lost it !! I asked WTF they meant by that, and they kept giving us vague, not saying very much answers ...
Well he is now at home, and is still wheezing heavily, but is breathing on his own now ...
I turned on my ICQ this afternoon to find it "lit up like a Chrismas tree" with people wondering what was the matter, why I had not been online all weekend, as wel as well wishes from the few people who were aware of his condition.
Having a child this gravely ill is as scary as fuck !! All I can say is a HUGE thank-you from the deepest part of my heart to all who lent their support to Sonia and I in our hour of need, and those who were concerned at my absence online ...
It really means alot to us, knowing that so many people (most of whom we have never met face-to-face) care.
Thank You
Paul and Sonia
