Hug Your Child

[sharlan]

There was a tragic accident at a local park last Friday. My grandkids were at the ballpark for softball/baseball practice. A little 8 yo boy was running on the sidewalk and fell to the ground. Despite almost instant chest compressions from grandson's asst coach who is a paramedic/fireman, fast response from the fire dept and ambulance, the little boy never regained consciousness.

The asst coach felt that the little boy either had an aneurism or heart attack.

Life is so fragile and can be lost in an instant.

So true. I always tell my husband and kids that I love them and give them a hug before they leave the house or go to sleep at night. My kids think I'm nuts but if anything were to happen to them, I'd rather know that I told them every chance I got than to regret not telling them enough.

Daycare, I'm so sorry to hear that your niece passed away this week. I know it wasn't unexpected but still difficult just the same.

Was she treated at Loma Linda?

Rhabdomyosarcoma - he was operated on in Nov for tumors that covered his heart, lung, diaphragm, and one other place. They told the family the first week in Dec that they got all the tumors and he was cancer free. By the middle of Jan, all the tumors plus more in his abdomen were back.

LL hospital did the same thing to my niece....told her she was cancer free in end of oct...

then in nov she suffered seizures, they got her stable ran all of the necesary testing and said she was clear, didn't need any more chemo etc

two weeks later in dec she was in San Diego and spiked 105 fever. SD childrens HS told my family that she her 90% of her body was coverd in tumors ????

SD flew her back to LL where LL tried to say that they told my family that before.......UGH

You just never know.

My heart breaks for all this sadness. Life can be devastating at times. And I guess not for us to understand.

I will never understand the death of children. It breaks my heart. It makes all of our day-to-day problems seem so insignificant.

So true. So sad for anyone who loses a loved one, but especially a child. This happened not more than 10 minutes from my house yesterday afternoon -
