Please Read – My Personnel Thanks & Apologies!

by Misc

I just wanted to offer my apologies for the lack of updates over the last 5 or 6 days.  But my son was up at the Duke University Hospital in Raleigh NC, having another major surgery performed on him.  Not to many outside of family and friends know this information but he was born in early March, and was also a month early.  He was also born with a few medical problems, one of them being Hirschsprung’s Disease, which is the reason why he’s had two major surgeries all ready.

Unfortunately when it comes to the second condition there’s no surgery that can fix it or cure it.  Which doesn’t matter since he’s still going to be loved by his entire family of brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, godparents, as well as his mother and myself.  As well as the rest of our friends and extended family. 

So while he was having the operation I was pretty much right beside him, sitting at his bedside, while he was recovering after the surgery.  Well it wasn’t only myself, he did have my wife there also.  Which helped comfort him and kept me from going bonkers with worry.  He’s recovering nicely and will be coming home shortly according to his surgeons.

His surgeon who I might add is a brilliant and great surgeon says he should be fine in a few weeks.  After he gets the rest and time that he needs to heal and finish recovering.  Which is great news to me since the little guy’s not even 6 months old and this was the third time he’s been in the hospital and the second major surgery that he’s gone through.

I’d like to thank everyone who’s been there along the way, not only for myself but also my family, throughout this long and extrememly tiresome process.  Especially Zach Best and Adam Best, who are the masterminds and the brains, as well as the founders and owners of the FanSided Sports Network/FanSided.com sites.  As they didn’t give up on me, or toss me to the curb.  When I wasn’t able to keep the BoSoxInjection.com and the MusketFire.com sites updated on a daily or even weekly basis. 

Thank you very much Zach and Adam, it means a lot to me!  I’d also like to offer my thanks to Brian from Phin Phanatic (Dolphins) and Dan from The Landry Hat (Cowboys) for their support and well wishes.  Plus all the rest of you that have sent your best wishes, prayers and thoughts along our way.  Especially those of you that took the time and listened to me, while I needed to vent and get things off my chest in the beginning.

Now that things are hopefully starting to wind down with my son, and he’s going to be back home in a few days.  I’ll actually be able to focus and start concentrating on both the Red Sox and Patriots sites once again.  So look for them to be back up and running like they should be within a few days.  And all the rest of you that have sent your best wishes, prayers and thoughts along our way.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks so very much for the wishes. They all help and are much appreciated! Please except mine for the loss of your son, I couldn't even imagine going/having to deal with that. That's one thing that no parent should ever have to go through. My best to you and yours as well!

Matt

Hey Matt. I just want to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My son died of SIDS last November at only 4 months. Prior to that though he had to have surgery to clear a blockage in his stomach though so I know how sad it can be to see your baby in the hospital. I wish your family the best.

Thank You, very much for the kind words. I love hearing from other parents who have a child with HD. It gives me so much to look forward to down the road. Best of luck with your son in the future......

Matt

I have a son with HD. He just turned two and is as healthy as any non-HD kid. He's also had two major surgeries and has done really well. Good luck to you all with the recovery!

Thank You! I'm very happy to hear that your daughter has gone through her last surgery for the HD. Best of luck to you both and my thoughts and prayes are with you both also.

On behalf of the members of Pull-thru Network, I'm sending our good wishes for your son's recovery. We wanted you and your wife to know that there is a great support group available so you can connect with other families and so your son will grow up knowing that he's not the only child dealing with the challenges of HD and other congenital colorectal/anorectal disorders. Please visit our website - www.PullthruNetwork.org - and do not hesitate to let me know if there is any way I can be of assistance.

My daughter has HD and recently had her last surgery (3rd). You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck with recovery.
Angela
