So far So good......For us anyway...

Well if anybody wants to know. I promised myself I would keep posting how Matthew is doing with the health situation. He has had many tests and so far no need for an operation. We need to monitor him daily to see if we notice changes and symptoms, and so far so good.
I do want to share something I experienced in the hospital that's been bothering me since. Across from Matthews room was a little Mexican boy, must have been 3 years old. He was in a private room alone. When I mean alone I mean alone. He had no family there. No Parents, relatives, nobody. He would just sit in the bed with his tray of food in front of him, feeding himself, watching television or coloring. He was always smiling. I will never forget his smile. I will also never forget his cries.
We were there for 8-9 days. So he must have been there longer. Sometimes nurses male/female would go in and sit with him to play or help him eat or dress. But is that enough? I don't know why he was there.
The point is the little boy was always smiling. Always happy and would wave to me/us when I/we would walk by. I told Sherry I want to call the hospital and see if he is still there and visit him. Maybe bring him more toys. I got him an Easter basket for Easter. He was so happy. I bought tears to my eyes when I walked out the door. No child should be alone like that. They need Parents/Grown-ups, especially when they need us. I feel like I should have done more. I will never, ever forget that boy.
Now I huge my boys longer, kiss them more often, ask if they are ok more, and tell them how much I love them and I will always be there for them.
