Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Welcome Leo Kirby, Enjoy the discussions, our family is in Napa which is not to far from Santa . My 21yr old son works in an assisted living community in Santa . By the way, your son has done a wonderful job in helping bring autism more to the forefront and educating the public with his book. Our family dearly appreciates that.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I know what your going through. I lost both of my parents at Christmas (both to cancer). My mom passed Dec 29, 1984, and dad Dec 23, 1995. My dad passed on the same day as Dean . At first Christmas was very difficult. But after thinking things over, I was actually relieved. My parents were no longer in pain. Mom would not have wanted us to be sad about the holidays without her. As for dad. Well he was my dad (And I respected him for that alone). But there was no love loss between him, and anyone in the family. He was a very abusive person (verbally). He's also a story for another time.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is off antibiotics, scheduled for HBOT Monday and leaves the hospital tomorrow. He has a lot of recovery to do from antibiotics alone and then there is the hurdle of me trying to address diet with him but I only asked that he get out of that operation alive so this is quite the bonus. I'll take it and any continued prayers anyone is willing to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
