I’m very sorry to hear that. I fell bad for her and her little boy as well. It’s a lot to deal with. I hope he can come off the vent and his heart gets stronger.
Thanks guys......the good news is that the doc is his person. His dad has the normal state custody plan so the time he has with him is limited. The little boy still loves his dad though. He is also adopted and he knows he is adopted. He knows his birth Mom and her family however he doesn’t know his birth father. The doc made a choice to let him know and not keep it a secret from him. They also go to the birth families house a couple times a year so he can see them.
Knowing he is adopted, not knowing his birth father and now potentially loosing his adopted father makes you wonder how he will process it emotionally as he doesn’t have a good track record with males in his life.
Speaking of texting the Doc just texted me. I guess when they shot dye up to his heart to check for blockages the dye further damaged his kidneys which caused the respiratory failure. Before they did the procedure he had to sign a consent form as they new their could be potential side effects due to how weak his heart was. I guess they thought they needed to do something as he wasn't really making big improvements.
Now his fever has spiked to 101 degrees and they are going to do dialysis on him.
I am not a medical professional but it sounds like he is at a critical juncture and this is all going to come to a head good or bad very soon.
He is 54 I think and it appears that he is certainly fighting.
I told the Doc if she needed to go to the hospital tonight to see him that I understood. He responded with, there is really nothing I can do other than translate for the family besides I need to see you!
I'm so sorry the doctor and her son are having to go through all this. I think it was G who pointed it out the other day, but it sure does seem there was a big master plan to get you into that boy's life at a certain time. I'm not terribly religious, but that sure does seem like a fate kind of thing. Hugs to you for letting the doctor and her son lean on you as they go through this. Remember to take care of yourself because this will all be hard on both of them and they'll rely heavily on you, which can be tough on you too, being the "caregiver". Prayers for the situation.

Yeah I hear you mine said I’m like crack cocaine and she needs a fix lol.
Lordy, that’s a strong analogy!!
And it’s been said (here, not by the guys I have dated) that I come on too strong!
Man, you must be really good in bed!
( I am so inappropriate )
I was thinking the same thing...……..about the strong analogy, not your coming on too strong. (And the inappropriate part too...…….. )
