My son passed away in 2009. He was my first born child. Him and I had a great relationship and he was/is my buddy. It’s been pure hell. I was right beside him when he passed. I was the last person he saw when he took his last breath. I can’t describe the pain and honestly I can’t talk about it any more right now. Hug your kids tight and cherish every second.

Prayers sent up for those of you who lost their children. My biggest nightmare as a parent. I have four ages 16 to 20. They are all driving now and I can’t sleep when they are driving. I stay up until they get home.
Why does God let bad things happen to good people? That’s the one thing I want to ask God when I get to heaven. I think, it’s just shows us life is short, life is precious, and relationships are what are important. Even if you live to be 90, life is short. Our most important relationship is with Jesus Christ. He understands the pain and the suffering and loves us unconditionally. May God watch over my wife and children today and keep them safe.

Damn, sorry brother. Unimaginable. Appreciate you sharing and praying for you.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and your prayers. My wife and me both appreciate it tremendously. To Ted and any other posters, Owl included, who have suffered similar losses we will say a prayer for you. It truly is life altering as you now look at different times of the year in terms of anniversaries. For us the months of March, June and the holiday seasons in particular are very somber. We just started attending a new church that we both enjoy and we have that support this holiday season to look forward to.
Bless all of you and your families and I hope you are able to find some joy during the holidays to close out 2020.

Maybe I’m feeling a little vindictive and I won’t ask you to divulge if you don’t wish to, but I followed the story in the original thread and I hope the clinic got what they deserved. Sounded like a really messed up situation. I can’t imagine what you went and are going through.

I remember the thread, but didn't follow the whole thing. What was the final outcome of everything?
And redstick, I'll throw some thoughts and prayers your way for sure. I can't imagine, man. Hope y'all have found a way to deal with life these days.

Did the lawyering up go anywhere? I’m an ER doc myself and the fact that they used a pressure bag with full liter fluids on a non critically ill child blows my mind.

In the end the clinic, doctor and nurse got away with no repercussions. We had a very reputable law firm take the case but we had two things going against us. First the autopsy showed our son had no physical ailment and it also could not pinpoint COD. Second the lawyers told us they could locate no physicians who would come out and state that the clinic made a mistake. They told us this is not uncommon in the medical industry. We could have taken it to another law firm to pursue but the emotional strain was too much for us so we made the decision to just try and move on. It was a real blow the day we received that call. It disgusts me that the people responsible can just continue their lives as if nothing happened while we are left trying to pick up the pieces of ours.

I am so sorry man. Keep being strong, you are in the prayers of many.

The ER doc where our son was taken by the paramedics made some alarming comments in her report. She was obviously very upset. I wish I had known then what I know now because I would have stepped in and stopped his treatment at the Urgent Care. I simply didn't know any better and blindly trusted the doctors and nurses. I am 100% convinced our son would still be alive if I had taken that step.

I’ve been curious too. As a nurse who has worked in about 4-5 freestanding ERs and over 10 traditional ERs here in Houston I wonder what the autopsy said. But that poor guy may not want to relive all of that.
There is a definite cash grab going on for a couple years of “overnight obs” for many patients who could go home OR who should be in a regular hospital. I recall his son was being kept for obs. Also recall a difficult IV and sketchy IV setup. As a nurse I wouldNEVER put a pressure bag on a child’s fluids. Certainly not a kid sitting up and talking. Whole picture seemed sub par. Especially knowing the outcome.
So damned sorry.

I can't even imagine, dude. I'm so sorry that happened to you guys. I re-read some of the old thread, and forgot that I did catch your update previously, and it broke my heart all over again that you didn't get the closure you were looking for, or that the ones responsible were basically not held accountable in the least bit. That is a travesty.
If you ever need to vent, shoot me an email (screen name at gmail).

That may be so, but you can't do that to yourself. That is putting some of the blame on you, and in the end it simply isn't your fault. I know that's human nature to do, and honestly I would do the same thing, but beating yourself up over it will only make things worse.

Results from his autopsy were inconclusive. They could find no reason for his heart to suddenly stop. The autopsy took more than a month to complete so I assune they were very thorough. With everything that happened my belief is they pushed fluids down his IV too fast.
