The clock is running waaaay beyond mid-night here, but I had to read all the posts of this thread...

I can't write anything more supportive that's not already written, but I must write this, that the positive vibes that surround this site are remarkable... It's great to be part of such community...

BP is a class act and all the fellow forumites, too.

Stay on the positive side, Rob!

I honestly don't know what to say at this point, except that we are all on your side bro. Keep smiling for the lil guy, and he will do the same.

Just caught this thread for the first time. Rob - the thought of green poo is getting me a little misty. That's just awesome! I hope things keep rolling in the right direction! You and yours will be in my prayers for sure!

i wasnt sure if i should post these pics, as they arent nice to see, but this is what we are looking at all day, its most upsetting for us. i will delete them if the mods think its too much. you can see his scar from his operation he had 8 weeks ago, and theres the new hole near his lung with that big tube coming out which was put in on sunday, it aint coming out anytime soon, looks like we are stuck here for at least another month.

Rob, I am so sorry. This is something nobody should have to see their child go through. Please give the missus my best wishes.

Again, I'm sorry for all your pain Rob and Linda. Tom is gonna pull through this and be stronger than ever one day. There are sooooo many people pulling for him here. There are over 300 posts about this. I'm happy that so many people are showing you love and support. We have a great family here. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Rob, you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Positive vibes your way! ->

 

[SharonG]

Hang in there, Rob. One day at a time. Each day is it's own success. Thanks for the picture - he's a beauty. I'm praying we'll see many more.

Rob, I went through the same with both my kids when they were born, both had complications and both had to have treatment -It's much a smaller scale to what you have had to get through but I remember as a new parent freaking out at the doctor (who I was ready to hit) trying to get a line into my 3 day old son. - It hurts, your full of emotion, your tired, and maybe even a little pissed off. and all they wanna do is stick things in your baby, The machines didn't help - they all seem quite scary when you haven't slept in days, facial hair and the security guard are your best friend, and all you want to do it make it right... (sorry this is all my experience, hope it helps in some way)

Hang in there, I know we're the other side of the world but can we help?? prayers, good vibes, & all that go without saying, but living in the hospital (free internet) is expensive, could we all send you some money or something ?

God bless him, and bless you.

Rob, I stood by my wife's hospital bed, much of it in ER or ICU, for months at a time, and the news from the doctors was never good. Without going into details, along with everything else, she suffered brain damage from hypoxia (lack of oxygen). When she came home after one such episode, she couldn't speak, walk or eat on her own. I became her full time caregiver, in addition to holding down an intense managerial position at work. It all seemed pretty hopeless. I taught her to talk and walk again. On more than one occasion I performed CPR to bring her back to life, followed by more extensive hospital stays. This went on for years. But today she's doing quite well, and from all medical indications she will outlive me by a long-shot.

I can't emphasize this enough: Remember to take care of yourself and each other (you and Linda) during this ordeal, and never lose hope.

Your friend,
Bruce
