Prayers sent
Thank you for your service.I am a Shriner. This is the closest Shriners hospital that will do this type surgery on an infant. I also do St. Louis, Lexington, Dayton Ohio, and Memphis Shriner hospital runs.
Prayers sentIf you are so inclined- say a little prayer for the little guy we are transporting to Chitown in a half hour. Looking at driving in rain off and on today and tomorrow. We are dropping off a 4-month old Amish baby for surgery on his head. We took him up there in December for an initial visit. He was back there 2 weeks ago for surgery consultation and an MRI to determine their best way to do the surgery. Someone else drove them there for that. Today we drive up, get a couple rooms, and tomorrow drop the family off at the hospital for a few days and we will drive back. Roughly 9 hours or so for us home to hospital, so we are required to spend the night and not drive both ways same day. I'll be here when I ain't driving to read up on things!
Welcome to the forum. And also for pointing out that myself and many others here are silly.If you really believe in prayers, then just discontinue medical treatments. Praying is silly. Modern medicine is the only reasonable action.
Nothing silly at all or in the least when facing hardships. Mental and emotional attitudes can and do shape how a person approaches a challenge whether to give up or to fight. Hopefully you and yours will never face such.If you really believe in prayers, then just discontinue medical treatments. Praying is silly. Modern medicine is the only reasonable action.
I have faced several over the past 20 years. Four cancer removal surgeries, 3 eye surgeries, 2 abdominal surgeries and the medical treatments were all successful. Not one single time did I sink to the absurdity of appealing to some spook in the sky. Depended entirely on the best medical treatments from the doctors at the Veteran's hospital. Agent Orange cancers.Nothing silly at all or in the least when facing hardships. Mental and emotional attitudes can and do shape how a person approaches a challenge whether to give up or to fight.

That is one where I would say that I hope for the best for you past, present and future on any issues for yourself and loved ones. That is where I would never denigrate another for what may bring comfort.I have faced several over the past 20 years.
