OT:One of my patients passed away today....

AnkurJ · March 28, 2007 7:31AM

A 4 year old kid, came to the pharmacy all the time, and seemed to be doing very well, and all of a sudden took a turn for the worst. Really puts things into perspective doesnt it? 4 years old.....

Sorry for the off topic post.

Absolute tragedy. Makes me want to express with this one-

...only a little precious 4-year old.
I guess God was ready for a tiny angel. Very, very deep sympathies for the little guy's family.

I'm not sure what the exact problem was, but its abbreviation was N.E.M.O.
He had a bone marrow transplant and was doing good, but he developed a case of pneumonia, and that got him...

My little four year old just turned five today. I think I will go home and give him a big hug. We almost lost him at birth, so every day is a miracle.

TwoSides2aCoin · March 28, 2007 8:42AM

I just read about mesosilver (studying silver as medicine) used in a nebulizer during breathing treatments that effectively treat pneumonia.

rgl1345 · March 28, 2007 8:42AM

Sorry to hear that

NumisOxide · March 28, 2007 8:53AM

That sucks.

JRocco · March 28, 2007 9:00AM

That really breaks your heart, may he RIP.

19Lyds · March 28, 2007 9:01AM

Death is always difficult to deal with and especially with one so young.

SeaEagleCoins · March 28, 2007 9:04AM

How Sad... must be a reason for the saying and song..."Only The Good Die Young"

Because there is more to life than coins.

Bless his heart

Because MOST people care about something like that.

Then take it to the life forum.

BECOKA · March 28, 2007 10:43AM

<< And this is posted to a coin forum because.... >>

Because this is where many of us make friends and sometimes we need to vent a little.

Dave99B · March 28, 2007 11:05AM

Little Jack Hagelin, your life on this earth was far too short, but I bet it was sweet, tender and fulfilling.

I'm also sure you brought MUCH joy to those around you. You will be missed by all who knew and loved you.

May you rest in His arms forever, Little Jack --- you deserve no less. God bless you and your family.

R.I.P. young man.

This topic belongs on this Forum, because a Forum member

is grieving and needs some compassion and solace. Of all the beings

and creatures beloved by God, it is the little children that he loves most

dearly.

Newcomp103 · March 28, 2007 11:46AM

Going to the funeral of a child is the saddest thing that a person can ever do...We had the unfortunate tragedy of a drowning accident in our family in 2003, and lost 5 and 6 year old sisters...unless you have this affect your life directly, you can't imagine in your saddest comparison with anything Hollywood could ever put on screen how devistating it is...Our prayers go out to his family, and our forum members that are hurting.

You couldn't have said it better.

May him, his family, and those who knew him find peace in knowing how much God loves him and will keep him forever in the arms of angels.

notwilight · March 28, 2007 11:55AM

I didn't have kids until I was 44. I spent many many years in a Spocklike existance were kids like this were just a nameless statistic that didn't stir anything at all inside me. So I understand those who don't understand. Once you have your own kids things change. Today I can't read anything like this now without my eyes watering. And I'm glad that now I can feel it. Thanks, Jerry

gyocomgd · March 28, 2007 11:56AM

I think we need a "You're-in-my-thoughts-and-prayers forum."

BobaFett72 · March 28, 2007 11:59AM

I have been fortunate to have never been in the sad position to attend a childs funeral; that must truly be heartbreaking.

I work in a very busy Oncology department (outpatient clinic) Roughly 30% of my patients that I get to know will probably die within the next year. These are folks who might come in 5 days a week, once a month or only twice a year. There are plenty of sad days and plenty of hopeful ones too.

I know every patient by name that comes in on a regular basis and it hurts like hell when someone you have come to know and care about gets sicker and sicker and then disappears.

Sometimes we need to vent, to grieve to express our thoughts and feelings. May your young friend rest in peace.

Very sad - my deepest sympathy to his family

OffCenter · March 28, 2007 12:05PM

Totally sad. It does indeed put things into perspective and makes me feel lucky to have three healthy children.

I think we need a "Stick up my Ass" forum.

Joflax · March 28, 2007 12:15PM

<< And this is posted to a coin forum because.... >>

Because some of us care for more than just coins, its called compassion...even if some of these posts mean that long time posters may disappear.

TwoSides2aCoin · March 28, 2007 12:17PM

I think what's good for the goose is good for the gander. But then.... for those who've lost loved ones , I empathize. For those without compassion, I hurt even deeper...

and just remember if you you ain't against 'em, you must be Forum

That, too. The callousness of some individuals can be just stupefying at times.

It's pretty easy to avoid this thread if you disagree with the subject. Title is in plain view. Don't click.

I too have children. That would be very difficult to handle.
My deepest sympathy to the family as well.

BN · March 28, 2007 2:01PM

Really sorry..

BlindedByEgo · March 28, 2007 2:01PM

RIP, Jack.

No doubt would have been an excellent YN one day...

There, Barry.

beep · March 28, 2007 2:17PM

Jack's picture stirs my emotions. So sorry for the family

WinPitcher · March 28, 2007 2:51PM

Im deeply saddened.

I know just how that family feels today.

Steve

CommemDude · March 29, 2007 4:47AM

My deepest symapthy to the family and friends who lost this child. As an Emergency Room doc, there is nothing more upsetting to me and the staff than to lose a child, or any patient for that matter. Every elderly man "whose time has come" is someone's friend, husband, grandfather or father.

You would think that this perspective makes us wiser when it comes to understanding what is important in life, but more often the demands of the day overwhelm us.

Texast · March 29, 2007 5:28AM

<< And this is posted to a coin forum because.... >>

It's a reminder to all of us what is really important in life, having lost a child I realize that ALL children are our son's and daughter's, and it is sad when one of them passes...

STONE · March 29, 2007 5:33AM

Prayers for the little champ.

Cladiator · March 29, 2007 5:33AM

He's in a better place now and in a better way. His pain is over but his family's is just beginning. They'll be in our prayers.

Pediatric diseases can be unexplainably horrific, especially genetic disorders.
