Re: OT: Medical Issue
Steve, I am so sorry for what your family and daughter are going through. I hope things get better and it is inspiring to see how your family is responding to such a difficult situation.
Re: OT: Medical Issue
Guys, I need your prayers again. My daughter has now started her third hospitalization.
On Friday night we ended up back in the ER. As there are only 10 hospitals in the whole state with a mental health wing for children, she had to stay in an ER room until a spot opened up. Yesterday, a spot finally opened up, and she was transported to Raleigh (almost 3 hours from our home).
We now wait to get a call giving us some indication as to what the prognosis is. My wife and youngest son will head up to Raleigh by tomorrow. I have to stay and work as I spent the last 4 days sitting in the ER with my sweet daughter. I just pray she comes home soon. I feel so empty.

Re: OT: Medical Issue
Gotta stay strong through it all. Best wishes.
Almost made a post similar to this recently, as I've spent the past 6 weeks in ER's, doctor's offices, radiologists, oncologists, and care facilities practically non stop.
I feel your pain, and hope you get some peace soon. With the nonstop assault on your state of mind, sometimes you just have to take a breath and a short break, and work through these extended medical issues in shifts with your spouse/family.
Best of luck, bro.

Really puts things in perspective. My thoughts are with you and your family.
FYI - I live in the town next to Raleigh and am willing to help in any way I can. If there is anything I can do to make things easier for you PM me.

Thoughts with you and yours, sir.
Re: OT: Medical Issue
I don't know how I missed this, Steve. Damn, bro, hang tough. That daughter of yours is looking to you for her strength, for that fatherliness. You gotta be that. I know this crap scares the bejesus out of you, and it should. But be her toughness, dude. You know my prayers are with you.

Re: OT: Medical Issue
Just think where she would be without your love and support. Stay strong and just be there for her. Thinking of you and your family.
Re: OT: Medical Issue
Steve, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. The strength you all have shown is inspiring, God bless.

Re: OT: Medical Issue
Thanks guys for all the prayers, support, love, and encouraging words. It means a lot to me.
Re: OT: Medical Issue
My daughter came home today. Felt so good to hug her.
I pray that this is the last time for hospitalization, but I fear it may never be.
Thanks again guys....you really lifted me up.
