Off Topic - Meningitis Awareness *PLEASE READ*

I made this topic to, for one, bring awareness to Meningitis.  My wife and I lost our 3 year old son to Bacterial Meningitis on Jan. 26, 2014.

 

My son, Tyson, was a previously healthy, energetic child, who touched the life's of the people he encountered.  On Dec. 30th, he was rushed to the ER with a temp of 106.4 and an altered mental state.  They took a urine specimen and ordered a chest x-ray.  In the Doctors notes, his remarks read, I "doubt" that the patient has meningitis or any invasive disease.  

 

Fast forward to Jan 17th.  I get a call from my wife saying that his temp was rising again.  I rush to him, and sure enough, he's quite warm.  We gave him motrin to see if it would bring down his temp, which it did.  I decided to bring him and his brother home with me for the weekend so that Mom could work and know they were safe.  

 

That Sunday, I rushed him to the ER because he was vomiting, not eating, and so lethargic.  They took blood, gave him an IV and diagnosed him with Gastroenteritis, and gave him a prescription for Zolfran.  For the next day and a half, I gave my son, 5 mL of Pedialite every two minutes to keep him hydrated.  Around 8 pm that evening, I noticed his face was turning dark.  Immediately called 911, in the ambulance, he had a tonic-clonic seizure, and from there, we never got the joy of seeing our son awake.  His body fought for 6 days, until finally, the good Lord called him to glory on Jan. 26.

 

I set up a donations page on FB, which you can see here :

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tyson-Lee-Hughes-Donations/1405167273075273

 

His obituary is here :

Please, read the page, like it, share it.  If you can and feel inclined to donate to his burial expenses, it will all be received as a blessing.

 

May God continue to bless us all.  "Weeping endures for a night, but Joy comes in the morning"

 

God bless.

 

Thank you Kurb for allowing me to post here.

Psalms 16:5 - The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord , who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Can't imagine how hard that must be. Condolences.

 

 

A good friend of mine got meningitis while on a cruise for his honeymoon.  He was in a coma and they didn't expect him to survive. He ended up surviving somehow.  He was perfectly healthy prior to the cruise.  Definitely a scary topic that deserves awareness.

Please do visit that donations page on FB, like it, share it, read it.  Every prayer, every well wish, every penny helps during this trying time.  As most of you can imagine, as a family, you don't save up to bury your children.

That's because nobody should ever have to bury their own child, whether they are 3 or 30.

Stay strong.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
