Good news, folks. He was released today. Thanks all for the kind words and prayers. They are much appreciated.



Here are some pics:





This was Saturday morning. He's feeling better, but still obviously sick.





Mama stayed with him all weekend, except when I relieved her so she could run home and shower.





That little scab, and he could have died! I'm still shocked.

Rick,

Glad to hear he is out of harms way. Life is very fragile. One has to enjoy every moment we can with out loved ones.

God bless ya'll.

Jim

Thats great news! Glad to see the little guy is doing better, we will continue to pray for him.

A friend of mine once developed a serious infection from a mosquito bite! It became seriously infected and the doctors figured it might have previously bit a dirty animal or host. Antibiotics were given to bring it under control.

Great News! I'm glad the little guy is doing well.

That's enough to brake the hardest heart. Glad to hear your boy is okay.

Thats GREAT news Rick - Glad to hear it!

Two Big Thumbs Up from Texas!!

Great!

Good to hear he is out of harm's way.

Sheeeitt! Can't imagine how scary that was Rick, didn't even know you were having those troubles, hope they have passed for good.

All this time I thought your best work was making those cool looking stocks. Sandbagger, your best work is making fine looking little men, he's a jewel, course it looks like Mom's gene pool didn't hurt that cause any. What a fine looking family Rick Bin, you one of the lucky ones. 1ak

Glad he's home! Time for a big group hug <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

The best possible news, I'm sure you and Mom are greatly relieved and looking forward to seeing him up on his feet and your life getting back to normal again.

There's nothing that touches a parents heart and will bring us to our knees in prayer as quickly as a sick, injured, or troubled child, regardless if the child is ours or someone else's.

Mine are 33 yrs, 30yrs, and 25yrs old so needless to say I've been on my knees more than a few times. .......joken2

Yeah and since he is doing so well, how about a few more pictures of Mama! That boy done well in that regard! (grin) TM

WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

it worked!

(prayers that is.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

That is such good news. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That release of tension for Mom and Dad is so sweet when news like this happens. I empathize(?) with what you've been going thru. Glad to hear it is over. Take care and God bless.

Rick,

Excellent news.

Tony

Great news, Rick! Makes all your other problems pale a bit by comparison, don't it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Jim <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad he's home. I know you and the Mrs are relieved.

Glad to hear everyone is doing better.

RD

HooRays all around !!

Amen!! Glad to here the good news.
It never seems fair when a child suffers.
Hope he is following Daddy around ASAP.
Our children make us want to live forever.

Rick, I'm glad to hear he's home and doing OK!. I imagin you're all very tired, but you can go to work tomorrow and relax. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Phil

Glad to hear he's doing OK
Regards- Jim....

Great news. Thanks for the follow up. I hope your son has recouped soon. Dave

Three cheers and a tiger!!!

And yes, EVERYTHING else in life falls right into perspective when a child takes ill. Glad to hear the boy's doing better, Rickster. Keep us posted.

Makes you shudder to think of what life was like - say 100 years ago- before antibiotics, doesn't it?

Glad to hear the good news, Rick.

Great News Rick!

Glad to hear he's OK. Been traveling & just saw what
happened. Take Care, Bruce

Glad to hear he's home!! Thanks for the post/heads-up on not taking the little stuff for granted too. I'm making sure to keep better tabs on my flock now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Great news Rick. Both the wife and I work in the medical field and it never ceases to amaze us how a small an injury can have such serious health consequences. Modern medicine is amazing, however family love and prayer can in the end make the difference. Our thoughts and prayers are still your family for a speedy and complete recovery for the little guy.

las
you hit the nail on the head! In these trying times it
is hard to remember how good we have it compared to previous generations.......
especially the advances in medicine during the last century.

Thank the Dear Lord.

Great news Rick. Sure nice to hear of a good outcome to a potentially very serious situation.
Thank goodness for modern medicine as expensive as it is.
As las and 30G said. There is an old cemetery (from the mid 19th century) that I go look at sometimes when nostalga for the "good old days" gets heavy.

Many many three foot graves of kids that never made it to puberty. Whole famlies wiped out by yellow jack. Makes you thankful for now days medicine.

I can't imagine...

Very glad to hear the good news! God's grace be with you.

Great news!
I'm almost positive that it was my hail mary that pulled him thru this time.
You have to lhave fun with those kids while they are still at home, time flies my friend!
Good to see your pictures don't show up any better then the ones I've tried to post.

Well Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!

I will pray for a full recovery and a little sleep for the parents.

God Bless,

BMT

That's great news. We'll hope for a good recovery.

muddy...

Thank God Rick! I can't even imagine.

First stop when he's feeling up to it should be Dairy Queen. Always worked for me when I was a lad. I think ice cream is a miracle drug. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



Mac

Great news!

Great news Rick for you and yours, that had to be a heavy
load.

Thank you, Jesus! I'm sure you'll take very good care of him!
