When my family went through our 40 day hospital tragedy we did sometimes take it. It is hard for me to teach my husband and older child how to drop it. I had a carepage (cooperwilles)that I did to let people "in" on what we were going through. Many were good to follow. Some ward members and family members were not. How do you recommend emotionaly processing people who did not support us? It is still difficult for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642249898644198921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-10022777945883222222010-03-15T12:09:54.714-06:002010-03-15T12:09:54.714-06:00Dumb twat.

But I saw your story on the Today show, and as soon as your clip was over, I googled you. Long story short, I am so thankful I did.

Leaving your child unattended in the bathtub is one of the "cardinal sins" of parenting. There is simply No excuse for it EVER. I am thrilled that your son is ok, and that you have learned your lesson, however, I feel it is rediculous that these people are elevating and praising YOU because a team of doctors saved your son from the effects of your neglectful descision.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-49491703487199780932010-03-12T12:32:55.309-07:002010-03-12T12:32:55.309-07:00*continued from above*
I work part time, so there...*continued from above*<br /><br />I work part time, so there isn't much money to go around... and I'm not going to deny it, I'm about as forgetful as it gets... [recall the birthday party, and how it was forgotten even though it was talked about the night before... I can't tell you how much I do the exact same thing.] But if I have extra cash in a paycheck, and I remember... I want to donate it to your medical bills. This experience itself is more than a parent should ever have to deal with in a lifetime, but the added financial stress is just too much.<br /><br />You are so brave. Sharing your story, with all the details that anyone else would omit... taking the hits from people who just don't understand... taking your heart out and displaying it for everyone to pass judgement on, all over the world... you are incredible. And I am so happy for you, that your family is still intact. And though you MUST have been drained -- some of your posts definitely conveyed that thorough exhaustion -- you pulled through, and you will get stronger.<br /><br />My aunt Tracy has two kids, and her husband was an army nurse. He got sick with something they never figured out, but he needed pain medication. Soon, though he was better, he discovered that he was addicted. Last easter, he was found dead, after he overdosed on his pain medications, widowing her and leaving their son and daughter [only 7 and 4 years old] without a dad. These past 11 months have been hell for her, and she's been struggling so hard to pull through. She tries so hard, but it's impossible to be running at 100%. But she does everything she can for her kids. She's a supermom. And I can already tell, you're going to be the same. It's going to be hard. You're going to be stressed out. You'll feel like you're not doing good enough. But everyone else will see all of your effort, and though you'll probably deny it, we'll call you a supermom. :]<br /><br />When things get rough... when the dishes pile up and you put too much soap in the washing machine, making your laundry room full of bubbles, and the boys are making it clear that they're hungry but dinner isn't started yet..... don't give up. Remember this ordeal, and how you made it through. Let it strengthen you. Everyone has rough days, but I doubt you'll have days as rough as they were just weeks ago. And even though it's inevitable that things will get hectic, you've made it through something that nobody should ever have to go through. So you can make it through the chaos.<br /><br />You can do it. You can do anything.Jordan Leigh Griffinhttp://silentneko.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-83543366549320253332010-03-12T12:31:17.996-07:002010-03-12T12:31:17.996-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mesocyclonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510409254184232223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-71944100013133387352010-03-12T12:30:51.742-07:002010-03-12T12:30:51.742-07:00I bawled my eyes out when I read your blog about w...I bawled my eyes out when I read your blog about what happened. It's probably the scariest thing you will ever face in your life. You got through it though. You have your darling family. And as you read everyone's comments, know that even though there's a few pricks out there who want to burst your bubble, there's a hundred thousand of us who can only imagine the hell you've been through, and are standing behind you. So when you read someone's hurtful comment, let it roll off your shoulder. Don't let it soak through and dampen your day. There are people out there who WANT to hurt you. WANT to feel like they're better than you. Seek power over you, even though they've never met you. Don't let them get to you. They want you to feel pain. They want to increase your agony, even though you already hurt so much. But put yourself in a mindset where you've already maxed out how much negativity you can feel from this nightmare, and even though the words are meant to hurt, in reality... I don't understand how you can hurt any more. I fasted for you and your family. I keep you in my prayers. It's time to heal. So don't let these fools get you down.<br /><br />You have such a beautiful family, and I admire the new outlook you have on life and it's importance. And I am so thankful to our heavenly father that even though little Bronson was almost called back home... he realized how much you needed him to stay. This little boy is a miracle. And I know that you will cherish him for the rest of your life, cherish all of them.Jordan Leigh Griffinhttp://silentneko.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-27007493739935046972010-03-10T07:15:30.099-07:002010-03-10T07:15:30.099-07:00I "stumbled" across your blog,,, your ph...I "stumbled" across your blog,,, your photos of your darling boys caught my eye.

I am sure he will grow up to be something VERY SPECIAL,, there is a REASON he is still with your family. <br />I am an American living in Tokyo--I have spent the last 2 hours reading your blog. Bless you---- to your entire family, and friends.

I understand the heartache and I have prayed for your family, I have cried and rejoiced with you. The way you express your thoughts and feelings is actually pretty amazing to me. I also understand your gratitude to PCMC. Their staff is wonderful. <br /><br />You see a few years ago my niece was in an accident and sent to PCMC. The doctors and nurses were very kind, and the counselors helped when it came time to make that dreaded decision. My niece didn’t make it. But the effort and time that was given to our family meant a great deal. I know my brother and sister-in-law are still suffering from the guilt that you have described. They too were victims of cruel words from news postings. To see your strength through this gives me hope, because my brother and sister-in-law are not able to let go of their guilt. How? How did you finally forgive yourself? How did you let it go?Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691226461144526504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-35608560635696795462010-03-01T07:56:19.899-07:002010-03-01T07:56:19.899-07:00It's amazing how an experience like this will ...It's amazing how an experience like this will make a person one of the least judgmental out there. I'll confess I had a "deleted by author" comment, followed by a different comment : ) <br /><br />When I read your story I could relate to you so much, due to a similar experience. In the comment I shared my experience, but then I deleted it because, unlike you, I am not quite ready to share with the world and I realized the comment shouldn't have been about my own story but should have focused on you and your family and how much I was hoping and praying for you.<br /><br />But now that time has passed and I am sure you are dealing with much of the same things I have been dealing with for the last six months....flash backs, nightmares, sleepless nights, etc. I do want you to know that there are those of us out there who can relate to you so much. <br /><br />Those of us who will never judge a mother no matter what happens. <br /><br />Because I was the most careful, doublechecking, cautious, paranoid mom out there. And a bad thing happened that was my fault, and forever and always I will never judge or blame.<br /><br />Anyways, it thrills me beyond compare to see pictures of a happy Bronson on here and to know that my little baby isn't the only one who got a second shot at life. That she's not the only one living on borrowed time. <br /><br />I would definitely never choose to go through my experience again, but the perspective I've gained and the appreciation for the fragile nature of life are completely priceless!<br /><br />Here's to a new month for you! And a fresh start, and to a whole month having passed since the "incident"!<br /><br />Keeping you in my prayers!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462491427406618145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979718468965341657.post-32433942787885590672010-02-28T22:07:56.089-07:002010-02-28T22:07:56.089-07:00I am one of the many in the Salt Lake Valley who h...I am one of the many in the Salt Lake Valley who have heard your story and started to read your blog.

I love how openly you bear your testimony and how you seem to be so honest in the way you live. I think it is a good and healthy attitude to be who you are and not worry about the negativity that will inevitably come. The most important thing is to love the Lord and your family and to live the Gospel. I look forward to reading your blog and getting to know you better and be uplifted by your attitude and perspective. I feel like we are friends even though I will probably never meet you.
