I have to write this down

Hoping for an improvement for you and Robert today ....xx

I`ve only just seen this Printmiss, my thoughts are with you and yours, and hoping for a happy outcome to your, and Robert`s, ordeal.

Hoping his imrovement has continued.
As you say, it's heartening to know he has so many caring people around him.

How is your son doing?

I've only just read this Printmiss. What a shame this had to happen. Good news that he is more settled.

,thoughts are with you all,hopefully Robert will continue to improve and have little recollection of his ordeal x

I have only just seen this, PRINTMISS. What an absolute nightmare you have been through. It must be somewhat of a relief that Robert is doing better, but can understand how concerned you must be for his health. Do hope today brings better news, my thoughts are with you

Glad that he is a bit better now, and hope that they will be able to sort out what is going on as quickly as possible.

Thank you for letting us know that Robert's a bit better today, PRINTMISS. Tomorrow will bring more definite news for you all. Good, positive news that his BP is back to normal and that his heart rate steady. Take care of yourself.

I just logged on, what a terrible ordeal Printmiss. Glad to see things are looking a lot more positive for your son and he has you with him.

Printmiss That is good to hear. I hope he keeps improving.

So pleased to see you write more positively and certainly with a happier story today.

What a relief for you PRINtMISS that things are improving however slightly. I hope you can sleep more easily tonight knowing that Robert ( my own son's name) is in good hands and that treatment is ongoing. It must be so difficult when one's child is so dependent on you and others for their well being. We who don't have this must be thankful though I expect we take it for granted.

We visited Robert this afternoon, and he is so much better - thank you everyone - when I say so much better, he has more colour and is not clammy. He slept the whole of the time we were there, just woke for a short while to listen to me talk, and then drifted off again, he seems more settled. Tomorrow they are going to decide what to do, there has been no more bleeding, but then again, everything was empty and he has had nothing to eat for two days, so I am not sure if they will take that into consideration. His blood pressure is back to normal and the heart-rate steady. What I do not want is for him to be sent home, and then have to return to hospital for treatment, because I think that would be difficult. We can only wait and see, and I am so grateful for all the kind thoughts, the lovely staff at the hospital, and most of all the people who look after Robert where he lives - we are surrounded by the best of people. Thank you.

I hope there has been some improvement for Robert today printmiss

Printmiss ((((hugs)))) for you. However dreadful it was to see your son so distressed it had to be done.

I hope writing it all down has helped, printmiss. I had a similar situation with my father when I arrived home to find the ambulance men (as they were called in those days) trying to get him in a straight jacket. He was suffering from an aggressive brain tumor and needed urgent treatment. He was so scared he wouldn't agree to go with them. Fortunately, he calmed down when he saw me but it was a heartbreaking experience I'll never forget.

I hope things are improving today and you are not feeling so distraught.

Printmiss, I've only just logged on and read your thread. You are with your son, and holding his hand. As he drifts in and out of his sedation, all he'll feel is your hand and your love.
What an absolutely terrifying time you've all had. We're all thinking of you and sending you a warm arm around your shoulders. xx

PRINTMISS I hope Robert is feeling better today

Just caught up with this Printmiss - how traumatic for you all. I hope you are feeling a little less stressed today and that your DS is improving. He must have been terrified and however much you knew he had to go to hospital, seeing him manhandled like that must have been be heart-breaking for you and your DH.

I hope it helps a bit knowing that so many GNs are thinking of you and I am truly hoping that today is a better day for you all.

Oh my goodness Printmiss how really awful for you all. Don't know what to say apart from take care - my heart goes out to you and your family.

Oh Printmiss, how awful for you.
Every single word that you have ever written about your son shows how much you love him. He knows this in his heart and deep inside him. That is what he will remember not the stressful time when he was ill.
I hope he makes a good recovery and am thinking of you all.

So sorry to hear this. Your son should not remember due to the sedation and when he wakes up again properly you will be there to reassure him. As regards you remembering what happened try to consciously change the memory when it comes to mind with a lovely memory you have of being with your son practising swapping does begin to help I promise it is a well known therapy technique for trauma memory. I'm sending you best wishes and hope all will be well soon, do take care.

Please let us all know how he (and you) are getting on.
