Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Please please dont beat yourself up over not knowing when Sam was in pain. Children are very resilient and can handle such things far better then their parents can. I am a RN and have prepped 100's of children for surgery and it never ceased to amaze me just how strong they are. I left peds because it just broke my heart. I know it must break yours to know that he is feeling just an inkling of the pain you have felt. But little children, babies, dont feel things the same as adults do. I ma not saying he is not in pain, I am sure he is, bless his heart. All I am saying is that his sensory preception of pain is not the same as yours. I will keep you all and your family in my prayers. It has always been my greatest fear that my children will inherit my disease as well. I had my first major attack when I was around 11; but was not diagnosed until a few years ago. You have nothing to feel guilty for so please dont let your mind lead you down that path. If anything, all that we have experienced in our treatments and surgeries will help the little ones receive better treatment for this horrible disease.
