What a difficult thing for you all to have to go through. Thank God that he is able to recuperate, although the three pints of blood is big. Sometimes we are under the impression that mothering gets easier as our children get older. Well, I don't believe that to be true.

I am glad modern orthopedic techniques and much prayer are available to help in the mending.<br /><br />I do hear doctors make difficult patients.
