But I have always thought to myself that as they get older to be honest and informed myself on things like drink drugs etc and only hope they take it on board! <BR/><BR/>Hope your son gets better soon and realizes the danger he put himself in. take care.Thedarkerside73https://www.blogger.com/profile/17474364639142170652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-56878846941865489912009-04-05T17:26:00.000+01:002009-04-05T17:26:00.000+01:00oh I'm so glad he's ok, and that his friends had t...oh I'm so glad he's ok, and that his friends had the foresight to ring you. take care xxdriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416170414524297337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-79780510729468192322009-04-05T16:49:00.000+01:002009-04-05T16:49:00.000+01:00That's so awful - how hideous for you, but I'm so ...That's so awful - how hideous for you, but I'm so glad that he's okay.<BR/><BR/>Such a sad comment from the nurse about it being their 'bread and butter' too - not that I think Jimmy will be among their number again any time soon...Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597247799128387129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-65211528054740770592009-04-05T16:10:00.000+01:002009-04-05T16:10:00.000+01:00Many thanks for sharing - I'll make sure I have th...Many thanks for sharing - I'll make sure I have the talk with my 13 year old tonight! It was a good idea to take your camera. I think its a good idea to talk about not drinking from bottles that you find. I know someone who cannot eat solids as he drank what he thought was lemonade and it turned out to be some sort of acid (and he was around 40 when that happened!). So glad that he is ok. xxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-85626554876410425562009-04-05T15:14:00.000+01:002009-04-05T15:14:00.000+01:00Thanks for sharing - I realise it must have been h...Thanks for sharing - I realise it must have been hard for you - my son is nearly 13 and its a conversation I will be having with him when he gets in - I'm now worrying where he is ??

What an ordeal for all of you! I have sat beside my child once, while she was being hooked up to machines, larger than her. She was 10 months old, drugged by our babysitter because she had cried. It was our first & last time, we left any of our kids alone with anyone. To sit there helplessly, not being able to do anything but wait for time to pass & not knowing if/when your child regain conscious...that is a parent's nightmare. I am so glad for you that all's well in the end.XUEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778103388264364774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-5698005634728888562009-04-05T08:56:00.000+01:002009-04-05T08:56:00.000+01:00you know... maybe this is a blessing in disguise a...you know... maybe this is a blessing in disguise and he's learned a lesson that will help him make the right choices in the future...<BR/><BR/>As a mother of three boys, I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you.<BR/><BR/>kids eh?monicahttp://www.quiltwhileyoureahead.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-34502827853033134922009-04-05T08:36:00.000+01:002009-04-05T08:36:00.000+01:00Oh crikey, what a night!
