I have been away from the forum for about 3 weeks, Still have a lot of emotions I am trying to process. On March 29, 2016 my oldest son was to go in the hospital for a quick simple tumor removed from his optic nerve. Quick and simple should never be used when talking about brain surgery. My son is now in a coma and has been since the second surgery, he had a stroke, and his right side is parallelized. He is pretty unresponsive to voice commands but responds to pain. IF that's if he comes out of the coma which could be 18 months then the doctors can assess he cognitive abilities.
We lost our youngest son six years ago February 8th. The thought of losing my oldest child too is almost unbearable, it is also quite possible. My life has been on hold this best 3 weeks. I had to come home and try to keep on keeping on. All I can do is pray for my child and give him and his care to God..
Norris, my son's his wife has everything under control at her home, her church family has wrapped around Angle and the granddaughters and it looks like the church are in for the long haul.
I am trying to not to push me feeling down inside. I have to let them out so I can be available for my wife and daughter in law.
I came here because this is a save place for me.
If anyone would like to add Norris to your personal prayer list or a church prayer list that would be the best thing anyone could do for me. Thanks for reading, sorry didn't want to cast a cloud on anyone day.
Norris will be 45 years old on April 29.
Update
There have been sound positive changes in my sons conditon. They doctors have discontinued the constant dialysis stepped down to 2 hrs daily, if his kidneys do well they try 3days 3- 4 hours a day. he is hold his blood pressure up and his breathing is good, he is off the respirator, his legs are still leaking/draining. He could be moved to a step down ward in the next week. This is good news, next the big step well be a move to a acute care facility until the toes come off and he no longer needs dialysis.
