Rob,
Like many others, I am praying for you, your wife, and your little boy.
But is there something else we can do for you? Someone mentioned financial assistance...do you need any help in that area? If so, perhaps we could all pitch in something. Many little amounts can add up to a large amount.
If there is anything at all we can do to help, don't be shy. Maybe I'm being audacious in speaking for everyone here in this manner, but I do not believe I am the only one here who feels this way.
And if there isn't, you know we're with you in spirit.

We are both still working , part time, so one of us is always at Tom's side, finances are no problem, especially as i'm still buying more balls in my boredom!!!!! The staff are great here at the hospital, i'm sure if we had to work at the same time he would be fine and well cared for. Hardly any of the other kids here have their parents stay with them, i feel sad for them when they cry out for the parents. I've got my Dargie Silo Special with me and a whole lot of guitar dvd's to watch on my laptop, gotta do something while i'm sitting on that chair all day!

whats worse than the chairs is the lack of variety in the food. McDonalds or McDonalds, they are the main sponsor of the hospital. At least maccas is a whole lot better than 15 years ago.

I don't know if it's the same chairs in Scotland but they we have the same type of chairs you see in retirement homes - big backed and impossible to sleep comfortably in, I had 3 nights in one and then couldn't walk, they have the most rigid L shape and when you relax your body it's almost like your ass turns into a triangle!!! - So now you can sit on a scottish chair whilst playing your scottish guitar poppa!
There must be some S&M Parlour where the design them, and again the coffee in hospitals, well it's not exactly coffee more of a homage!

I find that strange that the food that is the worst for you is in a hospital. Strange, but convenient at the same time. because when you get sick, Bamm, there is a hospital right there.
that would be like having a Pub in an Alcoholics Anonymous facility.

Whew, I just read through all of this and am sitting here with tears. I hate to hear about children being sick or hurt. We have 3 boys and know what it's like to be a parent. Your whole outlook on life changes once you have children.
When my second son was a week old he was in the hospital with a respiratory virus (RSV). He was there for a week with IV's being stuck in him everywhere (even his head). My employer (PwC) at the time didn't care and I had to work all day and then I'd spend the night at the hospital and go back to work in the morning. So I can see how some kids won't have parents there with them. Many employers here in the states are like that. My wife would stay at the hospital most of the day and night too. Luckily, her mother was visiting and was able to watch our other son. It's tough seeing babies so helpless.
Our thoughts are with you, your wife and especially your son.

Man i feel bad that this thread is still getting attention, with all the positive stuff going on around it, like the Desert Bash etc, the last thing i really want is to make everyone sad. I also feel bad for those who have read all 23 pages in one go, my heart goes out to you!!!!
Slight bit of good news, I got a smile from Tom last night, first one in about 9 days, it was a tough smile to get through, will all the tubes in place, so inside him i know he's a little bit happy. We seem to have a thing going where the first time he sees me after a sleep or after ive been out, the first thing he does when he looks at me is give me a little smile, almost every time!

Rob,
You shouldn't feel bad.
I think this thread embodies everything that is great about this forum. I've never met anyone on here, but sometimes I feel a real bond with the people that I talk to on here. There are disagreements and people get hot under the collar, but when you look at the compassion and genuine concern that is reflected in the posts here on this thread, it helps to maintain a sense of balance.
I think it's been getting attention because we do really care and hope that Tom is pulling through. It gives a feeling of hapness to read that he smiles at you when he wakes up and it causes sorrow when we read that he's not doing so good.
Most of us are fortunate enough never to have had to experience what you're going through, but I certainly don't think I would handle it as well as you have. Even through all of the bad times, you've maintained a great positive attitude and have been a great forum contributor. I really admire your ability to keep it together.
As far as I'm concerned (but I don't pay the bills here) keep posting away. All of us want to know how Tom is getting on and we all send our best wishes and prayers for you, Belinda and Tom.
I'll echo what others have said and offer you any help that I can.
