Good Day Crew!
Has some of you might have heard on the TIA Periscope, my boy is back in the hospital. He went to the hospital back on July 30th (My Birthday) because he was not feeling well, and was in a lot of pain. Turns out he has a bowl abstraction from stomach scar tissue (he had complications when he was 2 years old – he’s 17 know) and has a twist in his intestine. His surgery went well, except for some minor post-op issues. He came home on Thursday, August 6th, he was in a lot of pain from surgery, but that was to be expected. Well on Sunday August 9th, he started puking, and was in severe pain, and not getting any better or recovering from the surgery, so we took him back to the hospital and they admitted him. He is still in the hospital, getting tests done, and they had to put a NG tube in his nose, and if anyone ever had to have that done, one would rather have their arm cut off without any pain medicine. We are waiting to hear results of tests, and what the next steps will be.
On top of that, her mom is not doing well, she has been on a downhill slide for a long time now, and we don’t know how much time she has left. They need to decide, if it’s time to put her in hospice.
Like they say, when it rains it pours, has on top of all that, both springs on our garage door broke, causing the top 2 aluminum panels to get bent, so most likely the whole door will need replaced along with the 2 springs, also our 2nd vehicle broke down in the middle of July which is not a big issue, has we are just waiting on parts, and me ladies sister’s husband will do the repairs, since I do all their computer repairs.

thoughts an prayers for your family.
I would like to thank everyone for the well wishes, we have a great community here. If you personally knew me, you would know that I am a very positive person, and always look on the bright side of things. However, sometimes that is put to the test, and this month sure has done that.
UPDATE: The doctors took out the tube today, so that’s a good thing. They are starting him on clear fluids, and took out the pain medicine IV and will just give regular pain medication. They are hoping it will work itself out, so now we just have to wait. It’s likely he will be in the hospital a few more days.
-Steven
Well I’m glad to hear that Steven. As far as positivity, everybody gets down. Especially when something serious with family erupts. I’m glad your boy is getting better and I have no doubt he will continue!
Good to hear he is on the mend.
Praying for you guys!

That’s good to hear that he’s getting better will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.
So happy to hear that he’s doing better Steven just like everyone else here my family and me will continue to send our prayers.
It appears that all the prayers and well-wishes have been working, has Bandon is getting discharged today. I am hoping he will be on the road to recovery, and not have to go back for a third time. I been debating posting a couple of pictures, has I am not sure if it would be appropriate, has someone might find them to gross (although they are not to bad) or to inappropriate for the forum.
Also waiting to hear an update on me ladies mother, but that is looking like it’s not going to turn out well. A decision is needed in the near future, when the time will be to move her to a hospice.
Thank You all again for the well wishes and prayers! Soon has he is up to it, I will share this thread with him.
-Steven
Glad to hear your son is better. I hope the sign puts some smiles on your faces!
I pray he come through and no longer has issues wig wag

I was debating back and forth, and even posted/asked if I should post pictures. No one really replied one way or another, so here are 2 photos. The 1st one was after the first surgery, and the second one is when he had to go back for the second time.
We are so thankful for all the well wishes and prayers from the TIA crew, and that Dan made a sign on his CNC for our workshop. Brandon has been dabbling in making walking sticks, and I been encouraging him to take it to the next level. I really enjoy the time we spend together in the workshop, has he feels comfortable to talk about stuff he is going through, being a teenage boy. Anyone who has kids that are teenagers, you might know how hard that can be for them to open up to you.
If you are offended by the pictures, please let me know and I will remove them

I’m sorry to hear about your son and family. I hope all gets better and I will be sending my prayers to be with you and your family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you brother.

Yeah well Wigwag, I care, and it was nice to see your periscope today showing him in a good light. Now I know he’s a cool kid, the hat says it all lol. Thanks for keeping us updated. And I know it may not seem like it right now when life is testing you such as it is, but you do have friends here at TIA, especially me. 🙂
Thanks Man! It was awesome today, we went browsing around the tool stores today. We were browsing around for some projects to do together. Brandon wants some shelve cubbies put up on his walls above his bed. He is so excited to get back working on his walking sticks. And to top it all off, my grandson is spending a few days with Pappy.

Bad news folks!
Brandon was just readmitted to the hospital, he went to the doctors for a follow-up, and they immediately sent him to the ER. I have a feeling that he was pushing himself to hard before he was fully healed, but he’s a teenager and we all know that teenagers possess super powers lol.
Will keep you folks updated,
-Steven
Wigwag, you and your family got my thoughts and prayers. I he he gets a quick recovery
Hope he gets better wig wag and you and your family have easier time in the future man.

Sorry to hear Brandon is back in the hospital. Will keep you and the family in our prayers.
Oh man wig wag I hope nothing to bad man, hopefully he’s in and out soon I will keep sending my prayers.
Man wigwag I hate to hear about all this. Hope your son gets better soon. Sounds like the poor guy has had a rough way to go for quite a while. You are guys are in my prayers. Keep us posted man.

Some Good News Folks!
He’s once again coming home, my suspicions were right, he was doing to much to soon. It’s hard for him to sit and do nothing, has he would rather be in the workshop with me working on his walking sticks.
Thank you again to everyone for the well wishes and prayers,
Steven and Brandon
AWESOME TO HEAR WIG WAG!!!! Next step full recovery!
Good deal man. Thanks for the update. It’s probably just nice for him to be at home.
