A NEW drama

Hi Ginger, Sorry you are going through all this again. You cant seem to catch a break. I know you being there for your son will help him get through this because there is nothing like the comfort of a Mom. You and your son are in my thoughts and prayers and we will always be here for each other. Dont ever be afraid to share your problems, you will always have our support. Hang in there. Hugs, Soos

Ginger my thoughts and prayers are with you and you son. Extra prayers for you to have the strength to care for your sons difficult wound. HUGS

Ginger, Its so hard to know what to do for the ones we love the most when they are feeling ill. i'm glad your there for your son i'm sure he is glad. being a mom is never easy when our children are ill even when they are grown. I applaud you for being so strong and being an a+ mom.  your support is the best medicine.   Keep your chin up !  E

Ahhhhhhh, you guys make me seem like some kind of super-hero!!! Nah, not me!  Well, all your thoughts and prayers worked!  We are now back home safe and sound!!!!  My son didn't get checked out of the hospital til 8:30 pm...but that's ok... It's hard to believe that living in a city/citys as large as I live in..that there is only one wound-vac company!  We were told that we could be waiting for this piece of equiptment for up to 5 days..and who knows how long til we get a home-care nurse to come change dressing and do his vitals.  That being said, I'm still really relieved that my son is out of that hospital and hopefully life will get back to some kind of normal soon right???  Anyways, I watched the nurses do his dressing and wound packing again, and I think I can do it on my own now.  I'll just invision the wound packing like it's a craft project instead of my son's insides Hugs.

Ginger, what is it about Arizona medical care?  My sister in Kingman had nothing but trouble with hospice when her husband was dying.  I've heard other stories from people about uncooperative insurance companies, non-responsive home nursing care, etc.  You'd think with the Mayo Clinic being in Arizona, things would be a bit smoother. Wound care is not thrilling, as you know from your own experience.  Will they use the seaweed dressings?  Those are really good at speeding up healing from the inside out. At the least, your son is home now, and it's always easier to get well at home.  Hospitals suck. Kix PS, I can't believe you have a grown son!  You must have been a mom in kindergarten.

Hi Kix, Yes, the medical care here is unbelievably crazy.  I had forgotten all about your wound-care experiences with your leg and all.  I have never heard anything about the seaweed dressings.   guess now is the time to educate myself and be proactive for my son's medical rights.  Ah Kix--- you know I just LOVE you.......NO, I was about 23 or so when I had my first kid.   With this weight-loss, I don't look as "frumpy" anymore...in fact, if I go somewhere with my sons I get accused as being their sister...but worst yet....their DATE!!!!!  I think Freud would have a field day with that one!!!! Hugs, Ginger

You bet I'll keep you both in my prayers WHat an awful thing to have happen!  Thank God he has you to help him thru it. And you have us!  Hang in there and vent whenever you need to . Thats what we are here for.  HUGS  Jeanine
