    Bump in the road

    The title was quoted to me by Steven and it fits the last week perfect. As you guy's may have noticed I have not been around. Our little guy has been in the hospital. He has been diagnosed with Central nerves system apnea complicated with reflux. This basicly means he stops breathing and spits up alot. We where admitted for a few days for testing and returned home yesterday. He is on a heart lung monitor indefinitely. His condition seems to be self correcting so far. We havent needed cpr to revive him from epesodes(3 or 4 a day). I have excellent insurance & we have in home care visits along with 24 hour tech support on the equpiment. A nurce comes out to the house and uploads the data and will deliver it to the apnea center once a week. As data is observed our usage on the equipment can be adjusted but for now he is on it 23 hours a day.
    We are lucky to have such a good support system and we keep in mind many many parents have it WAY worse than us. That being said I should be back to hanging around and being a PIA very soon.
    Just figured I blog a bit.

      So sorry to hear that Tom, my family and I hope your son has a speedy recovery, and I always thought of you as a heck of a nice guy, far from a pia.
      Best wishes to you and yours.

            Tom I wish you the best, When our youngest was born he had severe food allergies & we came close to losing him the 1st few days he was home. Lost almost half his body weight until we convinced the peds DR that something wasn't right!

            Everything turned out OK but not a pleasant time I know, due me a favor give your wife a hug & if you need one don't be afraid to ask her!

            We all wish you folks the best & If there's is anything that we on this forum can do ... well all you need do is ask!
            We did it with a Bang!

                    I only have the 1 little girl, 7yo.
                    She has had no more than a cold and a sore tooth in 7 years, I have no idea of what it must be like to have your little one in anything other than top condition.
                    It spins my head to begin to imagine what it is like.

                    I trust you have the strength to cope with this and remember that all of us out here send our thoughts and hope for an improvement in his condition.

                      Tom, a pain??? NOT!!! You have been very helpful to me in the past – sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm of this sport.

                      My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope my moral support can be enough.

                      Good Luck.
