Thank you for sharing, Wendy! I've been away on an extended holiday and not on FanStory very much. I've been praying for your son though. I'm delighted to hear he's doing better. God bless and strengthen you all.

Sending you my best today as always.

    Thank you for your prayers. So very much valued and appreciated. He has drained more than 3200mL from his lungs now. More than 5 pints. No wonder he was having trouble breathing. He?s still on high flow oxygen though. Thank you so much for your caring review.

This is a very good story of how the medical system has helped this young man and I enjoyed listening to it very much. I am sorry that you had to be going through this with him but I am so thankful that you see and appreciate the medical services that you were provided.

This is such a moving post and clearly shows the love and compassion of everyone involved in this young man's care. It's also so very sad that he has this condition in the first place, but is handling it in such a brave way. Wishing you all thanks for taking such good care of him!

Thank you for your courage in sharing this writing with us, which must have revived your pain immensely. Those of us who have cared for children with disabilities share your trials and offer our prayers and those who don't have an inkling of what it is like now have been given a graphic example.

Hi Wendy, I'm so sorry you've been going through such a difficult time with your foster son. I was not aware of that. Yes, you're lucky to have the same healthcare for all as we do here in Europe,and completely free of charge. We pay it through our taxes.
I'm so glad he's doing better. You must be so relieved, but also so very tired. Ullaxcx

    Thank you Ulla. Yes, very thankful for our medical system, and for the caring staff, always so cheerful. He?s doing a little better, may be able to go onto low flow oxygen soon. Yes very tired. Going now to see my birth son who also had surgery this morning.

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. As a mom myself, I know how painful it is to watch our children in pain. I am so glad that you live in a country that has good medical care. My prayers are with you. Sarah

Thank you for the complete background plus a detailed report on that young man's struggle to stay alive and recover from his lung infections.

You are fortunate that the medical care system in Australia is so caring and without cost to patients.

From any point of view, your caring heart has made all the difference the entire time. Brava!

Superb, and aptly illustrated.

    Thank you Mike! What a beautiful and caring review, which I greatlly appreciate. Today he was asleep for the whole time I was there, breathing more easily, and with less oxygen help. So far 1350 mL from the left lung and 1650 mL from the right lung!
    Thank you too for the six beautiful stars. I do greatly appreciate the honour and support.

    You are most welcome, Wendy. God knew you and your family would be the best foster home for him, You are proving that, and he now has a chance to recover. You showed him unconditional love, and he is loved by all because he returns that to all. What a beautiful example for everyone! :)) -- Mike

Hello Wendy,
I'm so sorry that you and he and the rest of the family have had to endure this awful ordeal. Thank God though that you stepped up to the plate so many years ago to take care of this boy, and continue to do so. Of course my prayers are with you all. It sounds like he could be on the mend. Hang in there gal. God bless and keep you.
Tom

    Thank you so very much Tom. Have just returned from the hospital and he is sleeping peacefully having lost nearly 1500mL from the left lung as well now. They asked for his wheelchair to be brought in so tomorrow or Tuesday he might be sitting up for a few minutes - after a month in bed. God is helping us all. Many thanks.

    That's good news Wendy. That's a lot of fluid to have in one's lungs. It's a wonder he could breath at all. Please keep us updated, and let him know that you Fan Story family is praying for you all.
    Blessings,
    Tom

You are indeed a fighter as well, and his will of living could be because he wants to see you happy, because if something should happen to him, for sure you will be devasteted. You are right, God has a plan for each of us.

This brought back some memories as I was reading about your young man with a fighting spirit in a battered body. He is lucky to have you and your family with him each step. I know when Tony was going through battles the medical staff told us the support makes a big difference. Look after yourself too, Wendy and thanks for the update.
Cheers
Valda
