One seemed way worse off- he spent months at CHOP- but he’s in full remission and NED for 14 mos now- just got a drivers license.
I hope it’s nothing- maybe an infection or pneumonia- but my only experience is tangential to the friends kids I mention above.
I’m a prayer and a meditator and I do believe in the collective power of sending love- while the child’s medical condition will be well handled by the hospital and providers- it’s always the parents hearts I pray for as it’s indescribably difficult watching your children suffer - and not being able to fix it.
Thank you for this information, even if it's not what I wanted to hear. My heart went out to the parent who called me balling from the hospital. DH is his close friend, and now that DH was laid off, I suggested he drive a few hrs to visit and lend support for a few days. When they are ready. I am praying too.
