Re: [Devics-spectrum] How did your year go?

It has been a year of pain & heartache for us.  Collin started the year out fighting for his life in the hospital with 6 of his organ systems in failure.  He finally became well enough to come home, but he wasn't himself.  He never went back to himself & has declined all year.  The last few months have been super hard, as he has gone down hill so much.  Docs don't know what else to do for him & say he will continue to get worse.  Just this past week, they decided it was time to bring Hospice in to care for him.  We have watched him suffer all year long & it is only getting worse.  So, he began the year fighting for his life & he ended the year fighting for his life.  I guess I should be thankful he is still fighting, but the pain of watching him is heartbreaking & too much to bear.    I miss his smiling face & his wonderful spirit.  We will get through this, somehow, someway.  I just want my baby healed & out of pain.  My heart wants him here with us, but I realize his healing may not come in the way I want it.  2012 is not looking so good so far.


I love you all.  Keep fighting the fight, that is all any of us can do!  (((HUGS)))
