Could use a few prayers for the family.

[Gizmo]

prayers to the family, I have a 3 yr. old myself and can comprehend what they're going thru...

[BlackSnake]

Oh man thats awful. My heart is burdened for him already. I will be praying for the little man, and watching for updates.

Got an update from my brother, my nephew has a severe ear infection, hand/foot/mouth disease, and pink eye. After the doctor released him from the hospital he decided he wanted to walk out on his own instead of being carried... well on the way out he tripped and nailed his forehead on a window railing and had to turn around to get stitches for the gash that opened up in his head.

Needless to say he's had a rough day but he's doing better. We appreciate the thoughts and prayers fellas.

Glad to hear he's doing better. That scar i gonna be with him for a long while, had a very similar one when I was his age, never saw a mark until I was in my 20's and now it's really pronounced. I hope they gave him the dissolving stitches.

Rough day for the little guy, but I'm glad to hear he's going to be OK.

I really tried to not respond this, BUT.... Well, first let me preface my remarks by saying I've very pleased to hear he's doing OK.

However, let wrap my head around this(or at least try). He was brought into the ER febrile; it was determined that he has an ear infection (guess what's a common side effect of ear infections besides fever?), foot/mouth disease, and conjunctivitis. And they let this toddler be his own boss against better judgment and walk out on his own, thus tripping and cracking open his forehead requiring stitches??? Wow. I'm sorry. I'm sure I'll take flack for this, but that is one the most utterly asinine and foolish thing I've heard of in a long time. That decision process was unbelievably imprudent, plain stupid, and yielded a totally preventable outcome. He's a sick little boy. Treat him as such. Not time to let him be "big boy".

Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut and not be an asshole you fucking douchebag.

you have to consider that the kid is autistic and has epilepsy! the poor parents are a different breed of parenting with these type of kids!


anyways glad everything worked out for the little guy

I took it that he was criticizing the ER staff assuming they let him leave not in a wheelchair. I took it as the parents letting the child walk out.
I am somewhat in agreement with Tim...however I wont be as harsh. The boy should have been carried to the car...but I would have admitted the child with a temp of 107.6. Was this temp verified?

[YALE]

What a tough little dude! Glad he's better!
