I know you are a good bunch of guys with good souls. I am not looking for sympathy or anything, just your positive energy and prayers (if you are religious) for my son. As a lot of you have seen in previous threads, my son was recently a victim of child abuse by either his mother, or her boyfriend. He got hit in the head really hard. Hard enough to make his brain bleed. My son had a seizure when he woke up this morning and I called 911. Long story short, the injury that caused his brain to bleed in the first place never healed and it is still bleeding. They more than likely will have to do surgery to drain the blood, which requires cutting open my 21 month old little boys skull. That is why he had the seizure. By the time most of you read this, he may already have had his surgery. They are saying it may have to happen tomorrow morning. Please just send your positive, good souls energy to my son and hope he makes it okay. This is really hard for me. I am up here alone at OHSU with my poor little boy and don't really have any family in Portland. Thank you for your prayers and love.
Oh man....I hurt for you and your son. All my thoughts and prayers...i really dont know what to say...I hope and pray for your sons complete recovery
the Bible says to me that the "diligent, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much". I can't claim righteousness, but I'm praying pretty fervently for you and your boy now.
Thank you. It is so hard too because this happened from an adult hitting a 20 month old little boy. It breaks my heart that there are people in this world who hit children. I don't understand.
Wow, I feel for you. My prayers are with you. My 1st son had a rough labor. They used a vacuum extractor and popped a blood vessel in his brain. He had a bleed for a while. It was a helpless feeling as a parent, but it seems like you are doing the right thing and are hoping and praying for the best. That is all you can do at this point. The doctors at OHSU are great. Between them and the doctors at Emanuel, you have your kid in the best place possible in the entire northwest. Hospitals fly children from Alaska, Washingtong, Idaho, & Montana to treat critically ill/injured children to be treated at OHSU and Emanuel. The docs will do your son right.
That's absolutely horrible man. I hope for the best for your son and you and I hope that the 20 year old adult never gets near your son again.
Upon reading this, I just prayed for your son. May God bless him and bring him to full recovery. Praying for you, as well, Dante.
This stuff really is hard to see and hear about it. I work with Child Protective Services every day. I hope the person responsible is held accountable. And I hope for nothing but the best for you and your son. I hope all is well soon.
