| My wife and I had our oldest son (he's 12) at the ER late Monday night. He was suffering from headaches so severe they caused him to be sick to his stomach.
After an CT scan and a spinal tap they determined that he has Meningitis, and they admitted him to the hospital.
I didn't get home from the hospital until 6am Tuesday morning. I went back this evening to see him and have just returned home from the hospital again (my wife is still there, never left). It looks like he is finally doing a little better and we are praying that he will be well enough to bring home tomorrow.
I would appreciate your prayers for my little man, thanks in advance.
Gary

| Will pray for Jason.
Hope he soon can go home to recover.
I know what it is to have a kid in the hospital.
Keep us posted about Jason's situation. |

| Thanks guys, the test results came back and his meningitis is viral (not bacterial) wich is much better (praise God). They told is that if it was bacterial they would have to keep him for several more days. He was actually doing well enough this afternoon that we got to bring him home. He is still a little "wiped-out" but it looks like he is on the mend, hopefully he will be back to his old self in a few days.

He needs time to recover.
It's always amazing to see how fast kids recover.

| They do seem to recover quiker than us don't they?
He got up this morning (and didn't have a fever!). He ate some breakfast, but was still pretty tired so he went back to bed.
Very glad to have him home and getting better. Thank you Lord.

| It's harder when your little ones get sick or injured than when it's yourself. |

| You mean they have to pay for all the treatment of illegal aliens and freeloaders who don't pay their bills......so they pass those savings on to customers who do pay. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

I was thinking about that the other day, I wonder if any of those fanatical freaks from 9/11 who were living among us were on welfare. We would have been footing the bill for muslims who hated us then killed hundreds of hard-working Americans who were supporting them thru taxes.
Profound. |
