Poor baby, and poor you. Your strength and love will help him so much, that I know for sure. As a parent we will do what is necessary, but as a person, don't forget that you deserve to be taken care of too. I hope you have help with this. Be strong, or rather, continue being strong.

@Angel - Were you suffering from depression several months back? Have you sought help for that? You used to help me with pictures? I got it now! Took a bunch of abuse and some very kind and patient people helping me, but, I got it!

I realize your body has to heal, but, so do your mental and emotional states. I went through several anti-depressants since 1998, for clinical depression. I'm on the highest allowable dosage of Cymbalta and it works for me. Been through a bunch though.

You need a psychiatrist who will monitor you regularly, as much as once a week, if you need to talk. I was at a point if someone said, "hello", to me, I'd cry. I didn't want to do anything. I gained weight. I basically ate and slept.

The depression can be addressed and it won't happen overnight, but, it will happen. When I was taking Celexa, I knew it kicked in because I felt like singing, "Come on, Get Happy!", by The Partridge Family! Seriously!

I hope your medical issues are identified and treated, but, work on your mental and emotional feelings, too.

I wish you the best. It's not always easy, but, you're worth it! Never forget that no matter how crappy you may feel! People don't understand depression unless they've been through it. I was told at a job to, "Snap out of it!", so I quit after eighteen years! My sanity was more important to me. I thought I'd be at that job forever :)

We're here to talk, if you need us!

Aw my God I'm so sorry and saddened by your story. You poor lady :( I hope and pray you manage to keep on keeping on and focusing on getting through each day at a time. No forward planning, just focus on the now and it seems to help as a coping technique in long-term illness. I've been through years of physical and mental torment to an almost fatal level and my journey was extremely tough. I couldn't see the end! But, the end eventually appears and you can cling to that comfort. I hope you have a good support network? Thinking of you, God bless xx

what a horible thing to go thru. Hope they gonna find out what bacteria or whatever caused this so you get a better treatment.

Wow, you've been though a lot!
You sound like a strong person, keep the faith, you'll get better
Get well soon

Sometimes, you gotta totally 'let go' and abandon yourself to God/Life/The Universe/Fate/whatever.

I have had to several times in my life.

We don't always have control. Most of the times that we think we do, it's really only the illusion of control.

In the final analysis, you will either survive this or you won't.

I have been going through my version of your experience for several years now.

It will be what it will be.

I'm ok with it.

@Oswald2001

Thank you for your words of wisdom, I understand what you are saying. I'm not one to dwell on the maybes in life, I don't worry all too much about things I can not control. About the only thing you and I and everyone else has control of is how we deal with a situation, nothing more. I've been plugging away one day at a time it's just, with summer knocking on my front door I feel I'm missing out (didn't much miss the winter months ;) )

I hope you are well, strong and happy and I wish you all the very best.
