My son is in the hospital today....seems he and his younger brother were horsing around last night at their Mothers house and things got too rough I guess....my youngest either jumped on or punched his older brother very hard in the stomach and long story short, he was vomiting as a result so his Mother took him to the hospital and a catscan showed some fluid in the stomach area, possibly a little internal bleeding. They transferred him to childrens hospital this morning and currently we are waiting for a surgeon to look at him and make a determination on whether surgery may be needed to correct the problem? My guess is that it will so....I am just a little bit on pins and needles! You know how it is when your children are hurting. So if you could just have a good thought for my son....as I said....not serious I guess but I am concerned none the less. Heading in to see him in a bit.....his younger brother is guilt ridden.....I will deal with that later but these things can happen, kids will be kids and he has been told to forgive himself as it was an accident.....but as you can imagine.....he feels terrible. His older brother is none to happy with either!

Thanks for the thoughts.:o

wow larry..... thoughts sent your way for the best outcome..... i remember when my brother and i had at it two years ago when i was 19 and he was 15. i must have really ticked him off but when he went to punch me, i turned around and he punched my back and it broke his hand instead! you right though, kids will be kids. i know i'm still one. but thoughts and prayers again for a speedy recovery for you little guy. hes gotta get better to fight another day!

My best thoughts and prayers, Larry.
When I grew up the hospital staff knew me and my 3 brothers by our first names. We were always putting one another in the ER. Part of growing up that makes parents nuts. They'll both be fine and a little wiser.

They'll both be fine and a little wiser.


with emphasis on little of course :hihi:

maybe this will settle those two down from fighting...
call me if you want Im around...

Prayers and many positive thoughts buddy!

I have 3 boys, and I am amazed that with the stuff that goes on between them we are not at the emergency room more often ! Thoughts and prayers, kids are pretty resilient and bounce back fast.

Larry, I hope everything turns out well. Nothing worse than having a child in need of emergency care. I'll be thinking of you and him of course.

Larry, thoughts and prayers are sent for your son's recovery.

I know what brothers can do to each other. My two older brothers got BB Guns for Christmas one year and I being almost a decade younger got an indian chiefs headress complete with shield and tomahawk. On Christmas morning I kept making like an Indian brave and attacking them so my older Brother John got sick of it and shot me with his bb gun. Emergency room on Christmas morning was no fun, niether was the three stitches where they dug out the bb from my stomach.

He'll be fine and your wisdom in straightening this out sounds right on the money.

Larry very sorry to hear this. Don't have any kids but I guess this is what being a parent is all about. You know my well-wishes and prayers are being said as this post gets typed. I'm sure he will be o.k.

Larry ;

i hope all is well ;;

MIKE

Larry, good luck. that really stinks. i hope your mom is ok- stinks that it happened on her watch.

I can understand your son's feeling's because
as a kid we were playing "sliding" on the linoleum
in our socks and i slid my younger brother who could
barely walk then and i broke his leg doing it... :cens:
so trust me.... i know...

Hang in there Larry,, Wishing All Good Thoughts Here Buddy...

When we were kids, we were banned from watching The Three Stooges after my brother whacked me in the head with a hammer. :smash: I still use that as a rational for my behaviors today...


Good luck with your son. Childrens is a great hospital and they will take good care of him.

Larry, thoughts and prayers. I think back to when I was a little younger, and it is a miracle something like this never happened with me and my younger brother. He is in good hands in Boston, the finest care you can get. They took good care of me a month back. Best wishes to your family, and I hope for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear this Larry, I'm sure all will go well with your son. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Good Luck Larry, I'm sure everything will be fine.....Kids are Extremely resilient

We'll be thinking about him for sure and hoping for a speedy recovery.

BF ,
The Link's send their T&P's , We hope he is feeling better soon.
Mike , Karen , Mike & Matt

I hope for the best for your son Larry. Luckily kids are a lot tougher than grownups. Hopefully this will just be a little story to jest about very soon. Will say a prayer for him.

Hey Larry sorry to hear this after you had such a good night with your presentation on making lures at the Izacc Walton club last night which was really good by the way:)

Hope all comes out OK and no surgery or anything serious needs to be done. I grew up with 4 brothers, thats all I need to say about that!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your youngest's condition and am hoping and praying for a quick and speedy recovery and that the doctors at Children's will take the least invasive and most effective course of treatment. May God grant you strength and peace, as well Larry. Likewise for the rest of the boys' family. God's Courage to your injured Son. And may the Forgiveness of Christ, Our Lord, find your eldest's heart.

My younger brother and i are 13 months apart. YUP! Irish twins.
One of my dad's best lines was, "BOYS! I don't care who started it, STOP it right now ~before I FINISH IT!!" which was often followed by, "For Cripes Sake, you two hellians would fight about the time of day!!!!" Retired Marine Corps Seargent and small town cop. We didn't let him finish too many of our battles :hs: :hs:.

Wish you the best with the disciplinary part of that dynamic. My bro and i fought into our late twenties. We would've killed for each other, so long as we didn't KILL each other, first :wall: :wall:........................

larry- our thoughts and prayres to larry jr, the AH crew.

Its all good folks! Just got home and they were discharging Larry as I arrived at the hospital! Just a little fluid and some heavy internal bruising is the diagnosis and the Doc says he will be fine....thank goodness no surgery! I was scared! Thanks for the good thoughts....they worked!:thanks:

Thoughts and prayers for your son and your family.

I was going to post Thoughts and prayers for the best of outcomes, and it appears that is what happened.
My wife and I still offer up that the true healing now happens.
My brother and I were 1 year and 11 days apart, and we had times where we had our mis-haps. I once broke 4 fingers on my hand breaking his jaw when I was 17 and he was 16, complete accident!
Long story............................
They will get through it, a little time heals all wounds..................

Thoughts and Prayers.

thoughts and prayers for the whole family. That is definately scary for both kids (and parents) to go through.

here's to a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear he's gonna be OK Larry
that is a big relief

I hope everything is ok..

Larry,

My thoughts are with you and your son.

You know how it is......worry, worry, worry! I tell you though you walk the halls at Childrens Hospital......and you count every one of lifes blessings! Sad, sad place. Children have no business being sick like that.

Larry I hope everything is ok we wish the best for your boys

You know how it is......worry, worry, worry! I tell you though you walk the halls at Childrens Hospital......and you count every one of lifes blessings! Sad, sad place. Children have no business being sick like that.

I hate to see children sick it really hits deep, It saddens me. they do not deserve anything like life threatening illnesses

Glad all is good!!!!!!! I remember standing my brother against the wall when we were young, told him I was going to throw darts around him like the knife guys do at the circus!!

Well he ran to my mother as he had a dart in the head, he looked like a Indian!! LOL

Glad to hear the good news Big Larr!
There is Real Power in purposefull prayer.

Remember how resilient we were, when we were that age?
Didn't know then that it would take me my whole life before i'd feel
the aches and pains of me youth :whackin: :bl: :whackin:.

glad everything turned out good

Glad everything's gonna be OK Larry.:kewl:

Glad everything's gonna be OK Larry.:kewl:

Glad everything is ok Larry

Larry..Im so glad everything worked out ok...:kewl:

I hope all is well :btu:
Just the start, can't wait to see you with gray hair :whackin:
VB

me and my brother would try and kill each other when we were kids... but dont ever let anyone outside of the family circle try something! forgetaboutit

brother will be brothers! what happened does not change the fact that they are the only true best friends they will ever have on this planet.

BF: i hope all goes well! speedy recovery!

Larry, glad to hear that your son is ok! Your going to have some tough kids! Stuff like this only makes them stronger. Great news!

Larry
Glad all is well . Now get some rest

Larry just saw this post, my prayers and thoughts for you and your family.

If that had happen to me when I was kid my pops would of beat us both up. Kidding aside, glad to hear their doing better, nothing hits closer to home then seeing your own in pain.

Glad to hear that all turned out OK. I agree with you that Childrens Hospital is an awsome place. I had occasion to spend some time there with my son many years ago. I also did some mill work for the optical lab and every time I went there I came out with a sorry feeling for some horrible illnesses that they treat there. They do gods work in that hospital. :angel:

My thoughts and prayers for your son Larry.

You know how it is......worry, worry, worry! I tell you though you walk the halls at Childrens Hospital......and you count every one of lifes blessings! Sad, sad place. Children have no business being sick like that.

Larry, glad your boy is ok. So true about the Childrens hospital. I took my son up there once because of a lump on his hand. It turned out to be nothing, but seeing what some kids and families are going through really impacted me. It was really eye opening going there.

Larry,,, I just saw this and was really glad to hear things were looking up and turned out OK...

I hope all is well,,,,

Larry- I just saw this and I'm glad to see all is well.

Postive thoughts going out.

Sorry to hear that Larry, my prayers and wishs of a speedy recovery go out to the little guy. Hope he gets well soon

my thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Hoping for a quick recovery

My daughter was at hasbro for 2 weeks last year she was very sick all better now, to see those little kids that have been in there for so long it breaks your heart.

glad everythings ok:wave:

Larry,

My thoughts are with you and your son. I'm sure all will turn out well. Please keep us posted.

Al

Glad to hear he is going to be OK Larry..

Glad to hear all worked out well. Hang in there, Round 2 is approaching. Kids will be kids and they will rough-horse again for sure.

Next year is drivers license time!:err:

Be afraid, very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats when the S**t hits the fan!!

been there TWICE!!!:deadhorse:

Good Luck Big Fish.Some of my fondest childhood memories involve my brother kicking the crap out of me.

Good news to start the AM! Glad it worked out with just minor trauma to child and parents.

My thoughts are with you Larry, little guy's are pretty tough, I'm sure he'll be up and about in no time...

Next year is drivers license time!:err:


Get off the sidewalks! :faga:


Just saw this, glad everything worked out well. :wave:

Larry,
Glad to hear the kid is doing well.

BF -

Glad your son is doing well. Hoping for speedy full recovery. Awful when it's your kid...

Ice

Good news, BF! :uhuh:

Larry,

Gonna have to make allot more plugs to pay that Insurance premium. I heard it is about an addition Thousand for a teenage driver. I think I wait till my kids are 20!!!!

Next year is drivers license time!:err:

Glad the outcome was good. Scary moments for sure. My 2 boys 21 & 16 fight like hell. Nothing serious but man you'd think at their age they would catch on. Actually It's my older son who instigates when he comes home from college. I don't know what the rules will be when he graduates in May. Seperate rooms and an iron fist!!!!!!!!!

Larry, I'm very happy and relieved to hear that he was released. Maybe you (and the rest of the family) can get some sleep. That is until little fish gets his license, cross that bridge when you get to it!!!!! Anyway, many wishes until a complete recovery happens...

Larry - time to look for a Wrangler for the new driver. About 02 stick shift etc. Those were the days ....................:kewl::kewl:

I'm happy there was no need for surgery. I hope he has a fast recovery.

Glad to hear he is better.
Stuff happens. I played football and wrestled and did some karate and boxing but the closest i ever came to being nocked out cold was from the paw of a very affectionate dog. Just the wrong move by me and her at the same time and a hit in just the right spot and I was on my way to lights out. :) You never know.

Larry - a little late seeing this thread but glad all turned out well. You are right, boys will be boys.

T$ps sent Larry.

Thak God it was more a scare...Prayer works big guy...the boys will get through it and learn some lessons like how much they care about each other...good stuff once the fear passes by...good news for a good family.

Glad all is well .. as a parent of 2 boys I can relate .. best buds now,, but boy it was rough for a while there ..

Thoughts and prayers for all of you.
Bill

Glad to hear all is well, as one of four boys and the father of 5 children I can relate.
And could tell some horror stories, luckily none with bad endings.

Glad to hear the boy is OK. They're into the hormonal years now, it'll be real tough for a while. Preach honor and duty and loyalty to them. it helps. Get them into Scouting. That probably saved my life and the lives of others. They're gonna be ok, really. Then they will form a union that only brothers understand, once they reach their common ground,but your hair will go gray in the process, but it is all worth it, have a Tums....

Fred....maybe you did not notice my gray hair because of my hat.....but the beard was a dead give away! Its going gray baby.....for some time now! With drivers license time looming, I am trying to enjoy that which is still a tinge darker while I can!:conf:

if its any confort ???? my kids play that way too .. but there 25 and 28 .... its only gets better .. just hope they dont kill :deadhorse:each other !!!!!

Just logged in for the first time in a week or so.Hope all is getting better fast for you and your son.Kids bounce back quick.

Glad everything worked out... scary.
