In case I don't make it, I bequeath FINAL UPDATE: We're Home!

[preCRT]

Your wife gave birth to your son, and you are giving him life.

Hope all is going well and that both you & your son have a complete and complication free recovery.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Best of luck to both of you!

 

[rudeguy]

[Squisher]

[brainhulk]

Naaaah, I bet he's just enjoying his pca pump too much to post right now.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

good luck buddy. can i ask which hospital you're in?

 

[gorcorps]

ok...I'm a bit worried

Same here.

He had a damned organ taken out of his body folks... even if he's not drugged up he's probably just recovering quietly with the family.

Give it a couple days

 

[Mark R]

Good luck.

Anyway, to answer the question "Why can't adult hospitals be like this?", the answer is money.

Kids' hospitals get a truck load of charitable donations, to the point that some of them actually have difficulty spending it all. That has certainly been the case where I've worked.

I once had some ideas for some educational projects for the kids' hospital where I was working a while ago - e.g. website with child friendly info, parent-friendly info, educational games, blah. A few friends and I were willing to donate some time and web-building experience in doing it. It turns out that via a series of dontations, they'd just employed one of the biggest graphic design/web design houses to do just that with a series of commissioned cartoons, DVDs, etc. - I've no idea how much that must have cost, but I could see it going way over $100k.

he's an old timer. I expect him to post pics of the surgery while its being performed.

Its a major surgery and I'm worried about the guy and his kiddo. This was my bump to get him back on the first page to let him know we love him.

If you son ever questions your love or isn't grateful for something you can always bring this up in the future!

March 20th Update:

Just to let everyone know, my son and I are doing well. I'm back in my room and he's in the ICU where he'll be for the next several days. I'm pretty damn tired, so I'll post with details and pics in a day or two. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. Sorry to everyone who was on the benefactor list, maybe next time :awe:

Thanks for the update, glad to hear you're both doing well
