I hop...Oh Louise, I'm sorry I missed this post. I hope that Ben is now pain free, and on a good path to mending. I remember the worry over Gabriel after his heart surgery. How would I know if he were in pain? I kept asking myself that over and over...I remember the panic I felt when we were finally discharged too. How would I cope? Funny thing was that Gabriel mended so quickly. Our children can cope -- but no one wants her child to feel one iota of pain. I can imagine the panic you felt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-45399770358423432772010-04-24T22:15:56.958-04:002010-04-24T22:15:56.958-04:00I am so glad to read this Louise.

It is so very important.<br />(I am just seething a little that they didn't send you home w the stronger pain meds. As I said in the previous post this is a real hot topic for me. They can do better.)<br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-20632125217361191682010-04-19T01:17:57.853-04:002010-04-19T01:17:57.853-04:00I can't imagine, really, really can't imag...I can't imagine, really, really can't imagine - I know I would have been beside myself with fear, uncertainty and a whole lot of other things though.<br /><br />I'm so glad the doctors response was reassuring and understanding. Most parents aren't health professionals, being put in the situation of making serious medical decisions and caring for a child who is sick and/or in pain cause so much anxiety and doubt in ones ability to make good decisions. We need to be able to contact doctors when in doubt - they are the ones with the years of experience to guide us.<br /><br />I really hope that Ben is doing better today, pain free. <br /><br />Best wishes to you all<br />Emmaemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195918097785592926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-66391295782900034282010-04-18T18:06:21.064-04:002010-04-18T18:06:21.064-04:00Oh, this made me cry it was that unexpected -- a s...Oh, this made me cry it was that unexpected -- a sensitive, caring reply from a surgeon.

Doctors get a bad rap sometimes (and often they deserve it) but there are some wonderful ones out there too and it sounds like you have one. Good for you for trusting your instincts with the cast and also for finding some solace in your walk outside. It will get better. It already is!Ellen Painter Dollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249909035254149073noreply@blogger.com
