Thanks for the kind words everybody and sorry for being such a buzzkill in this informative, educational and inspirational thread. Both kids are good right now. My 8yo's heart rate has been stable and he should come home today. He will need a procedure done next month to repair some issues in his heart, but should be 100% once it's done. He's on beta blockers right now. I'm heading over to see my oldest son. His surgery went well yesterday, but hurting right now. He's doing a lot of sleeping at the moment. His spleen was 4 pounds when it was taken out. Normal is 6 or 7 ounces. Hopefully this was the reason for all of his symptoms over the last 4 weeks.
I don't care what people say, you Massholes are ok. Please go back to Helping your fellow man.
