Title: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: dachshundsr4me on May 11, 2008, 04:29:40 pm Some of you know that my son was in a very bad car accident on May the 6th. He is on life support right now and has what is called "Traumatic Brain Injury". They feel he will survive at this time but still cannot tell me 100 percent. Also we do not know to what extent of damage has been done by this. That we will not know for a few weeks on how much deficit he has until they can take him out of the drug induced comma and have him slowly awaken. We are hoping for the best. As you can imagine my mind is not on the sims at this time and after this I am not even sure if it will be back on the sims again. I think if all goes well I think that I will probably be taking some of this extra time I use to take for myself and create for the sims and spend it more together with him and I. My heart is broken as I look at him lying in that bed. He was not drinking but the boy that was driving was. Any prayers for him will be appreciated. Please enjoy my creations and feel free to share them.

Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: dachshundsr4me on May 29, 2008, 08:54:40 am He is doing much better and is a miricle for sure. He can now talk again and is walking with a little help..someone has to be with him in case he falls. He is a little unsteady. He sits really well in the bed. He is working so hard to get back home to me. I miss him terribly not being here. He has about another 2 to 3 weeks in the rehab facility till he comes back home. Thanks for all the prayers and yes I am now back to full force recoloring and stuff. I do think that I will be spending more time with him once he is home but will find time for this late in the evening so if I slow down do not think I have stopped. I will make sure I find time for Sims late at night.
Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: sweetshiver on May 29, 2008, 09:50:11 pm That's wonderful to hear, Dachs! :hello2:

My best wishes for you and your family and I hope your son's recovery will go well.
Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: crystal on June 07, 2008, 06:32:12 pm Hi,
I am sorry to hear about your son's accient and I am genuinely happy to hear that he is making such great progress. You must be so proud of your son for his perseverance. I can't imagine the myriad of emotions you must be feeling but I hope that you are a little bit encouraged by these words. My prayers are with you and your family. May the Lord bless you all. Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: dachshundsr4me on June 08, 2008, 01:44:45 am He is coming home monday. I did however see about Hulk Hogan's son some more on TV. It is a little too close to home and the fact that they are trying to get their son an early release just sends me right through the roofline. It is like they have forgotten about the victim in all of this which is the poor boy in the hospital that may never walk again and has a TBI just like my son did. I cannot help but to think that this could have been my son and when I saw the pictures of the poor boy lying in the bed with the neck brace on and the head injury all hooked up looking the same as my son did. I lost it right in the restrant that it was being shown on TV. I am just in turn sending my prayers to that boys family that he recovers.
Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: s2junkie on June 08, 2008, 12:00:20 pm I'm so happy to hear he's coming home tomorrow! :occasion16:

Title: Re: Taking a break (05/11/08) Post by: dachshundsr4me on June 22, 2008, 09:35:53 am He is doing pretty good and keeping me hopping. I luv it though and am enjoying every second with him. I have made a few things and will upload them probably by tonight as he goes to sleep by 8:30 pm. So that is when I mess more with the computer..unless I am totally beat and need to rest after that. Anyway I am still here and around and will be uploading soon.
