It breaks my heart to hear someone going through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I can only hope for a miracle so that Connor can live the life he deserves to live.

Dustin - not sure if you have had time to be on here, but we're thinking of you. I hope that you somehow find peace in the difficult journey you're on right now. We'll be here with you each step of the way....OK?

Buddy has been having a rough few days . I am a mess . Literally fighting back tears all day . The last few days actually . So scared, leaving for home tomorrow if all goes well . Wish the problems were staying here . Not sure I am as strong as I have to be to endure this . Feel this pain so deep in my chest and I know it is anxiety and fear . But it literally hurts . Ready to go home but feel this deep connection with these nurses and doctors . It is breaking my heart and it appears breaking theirs as well just saying goodbye knowing it is the last time we will ever see some of them again . Just upset, confused, sad . I want to update you all nonstop just get choked up talking and thinking about everything . But you are all the best God damn rag tag group of online friends a guy could hope to have . Your support, kind words and generosity have so far exceeded anything me or my wife could possibly have imagined . Tomorrow is gonna be a huge day for him . For us all . Keep him in your prayers and thoughts as I will be a major culture shock for us all . Thanks again EVERYONE . Just incredible

Dustin - the pain won't go away for some time, and you are feeling things that you should feel - especially the fear and anxiety of knowing the environment will change. The oversight and guidance and help the staff provide you gives you support and confidence, and when you head home, it will be for a different stage in the journey. This is going to be the most difficult stage, no doubt. It is ok to feel the fear you feel, and none of us would be any different than you. I am sure that I wouldn't even be able to put these things down in words on a computer, I don't think I'd be able to raise my head from the tears in order to look at the screen.

My point in all this is that is it normal and natural to feel how you feel, and we fully understand why you feel this way.

Why don't you give the ol Blowout crew a break for a bit? We'll stay here, and continue to think about you....but you have other things to focus on. Stop by if and when you want/can....we know you will.

The next few days WILL be a huge shock for you and the family. Just try to push through it as well as you can. The pain and fear will eventually subside and you'll all be in a more peaceful place eventually.

Stay strong. We're here for you.

Jinx'd myself . Forgot to knock on wood . We will not be headed home tomorrow . Some of the nursing parties enabling us to go home had to back out as they were not fully aware of the illness and his inevitable outcome . Was to saddened by our situation and could not take on such a heartbreaking role . In the meanwhile, we will sit it looks like . Thursday is not out of the question, but probably next week . Que sad music as I fade into this darkness . Kidding, there is light in this tunnel . Just at a deceptive distance .

Just read this and don't know what to say except that we are all with you and your family. When you've been at the hospital for so long,it almost becomes more comfortable than home. One day at a time...

Well brother make something positive out of this. Enjoy the extra time with your "2nd family" the staff at the hospital.

I know you would rather be home but it sounds you have become very fond of them.

I hope the best for your entire family through such a difficult time, hang in there and may God bless Connor.

Dustin you are a real man for staying so strong throughout this whole ordeal and I know your son feels your strength and commitment.

Sooooooooo much built up on today . Now today is here . All that anxiety , emotion , preparation for nothing . On top of my zillion uncontrolled emotions now sits that . Nothing . No date . No plan . We sit . And all these damn fools want to come in and talk about it . Are we okay ? YES , we are okay as okay can be facing this absolutely insane, unimaginable, unexplainable turn of events in my life that I must face as my reality and carry on with my life . YES, doing just fine . Jesuslouisus . I said to the doctor who has saved my sons life several times now in front of my very eyes that it our own fault for getting upset and having our hopes set on a day . It just really felt real this time . We have been told we could be going home so many times now . Actually when we first got here we were told 2 or 3 days . The doctor then said in return it is 100 percent their fault for continuing to say and push that date on us knowing we were setting ourselves up for more anguish if it fell through . That took big balls in my opinion knowing we are angered upset parents with a very sick child . AkA Ticking TimeBombs . He is a good guy . I appreciate that . Think it's day 52 . Tomorrow will not be happening . Looks like a week or two . Fingers crossed . We got this ... No Matter What !!

Dustin,Connor is right where he needs to be for now. For whatever reasons,it's not time for home yet. Stay strong and know that you have a ton of friends and even strangers (like me) out in the world praying for you every day.
