A Note from Adam Wysocki

Adam,
I read your blog, I am sincerely sorry that you and Jay had to go through that. I was in tears, cause I know exactly how you feel and that feeling of being 100% helpless.

My son caught the Roto Virus at 13 months old, it almost killed him. We took him to the hospital and they said he was fine, less than 8 hours later the next morning he was limp in my arms and white as a ghost from dehydration. I have memories of needles and screaming and them wrapping him up in a sheet to hold him down. If it weren't for my husband I would have lost it. I know what you were feeling.

You remind me so much of my husband, a loving, kind, caring father. Who would die for their children. Jay is very lucky to have you as a father.
I am glad to hear he is on the road to recovery.

Take care,
Kristy

So I'm not on here much with work and my boys and the snakes. Tonight I had some time to check out Adams blog and I was transported back to the day my son was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I had to sit there and hear that one day he may just stop breathing and not wake up. I felt the pain as you spoke about falling apart. I know the feeling. As the father were supposed to be the strong one standing like a rock when all we can do is try not to collapse under the pain. I still go into my son's room in the middle of the night and watch him breath and hope against all hopes that I will never see the day he doesnt. He is much older now and at 15 still gives me the time of day but not too much more. Every day we are given is a gift, spend them wisely. They all pass way too fast and we cant get them back. I stand with you as a father who has been there. I will hope as I did with my boy, Joshua that Jason grows to be big and strong and he too will barely give you the time of day. Here's to many more days together.

Thanks for reading.

I’m always amazed at the amount of strength a person can muster when they are faced with tremendous grief and hardship. Reading your blog like many others brought back the deep seeded emotions that I thought I gained control over.
Our daughter is deaf. Testing began at birth and continues still today. She saw Nuerologists at Hopkins, Audiologists, Neurotologists, Otolaryngologists blah, blah blah. They equipped her with “super ears”. At the time she was the youngest patient at Johns Hopkins to be fitted.
As she got older she was losing more and more hearing (she's 5 now). MRI’s and CT Scans were done thankfully revealing no sign of tumors. She was termed as having non-specific progressive bilateral sensineural hearing loss.

Our situation is no way as terrifying as yours and the many that posted above. We were never in a life threatening situation, but the pain that you feel watching your child suffer and you can’t do anything to help is unbearable. Next step is cochlear implants; I hear that one is a doosey.

Anyway, way to go Adam, its great seeing a Dad fight for their child and their child's well being. I know I'm considered the b*tch parent at times b/c I fight for services and the best for my child b/c if I don't know one else will.

adam,

my heart touches yours and feels your pain.

you are in my thoughts,
aleesha

Adam, there's not much I can say... I hope everything goes smoothly from here on out and that you can put your mind at ease. I can only imagine the stress you've felt.

Adam,

Just read your blog. As a parent of a son I know how things like this turn your world inside out. When my son was 6wks old they thought he had a SIDS incident and I remember that night and the days that followed.
You and your son are in my heart and my prayers. I know how very much of your world he is. :hug:

Can someone, if its ok with adam, PM me the blog? I can't read it because you have to be 18+ to read it.
