Hi DD; I am so glad that your son's operation is over, and even though he went through some rough parts, at least it sounds like he is going to be fine in time. It is so very difficult to see your children suffer. Sometimes I think that it hurts the parents more than the children watching them go through hurt and pain. My prayers are with all of your family, and I do so hope that your son will be able to go home soon. Home is so much better than hospitals. It is nice to hear from you again, DD. Time seems to go so fast, and you never get every thing done, however, you are never too busy to not read the Kilgore posts! We have to have the Kilgore fix, or the day is not right. Love, Donna
