    Dear all,
    Thank you all. It is impossible to put into words by appreciation of your kindness.

    It has been a nightmare month for us. We are totally exhausted and just wish we were at home, to be frank. Both Arthur and Eamonn had complications that required hospitalisation. Indeed, at times their lives were in danger ... and it is getting better but ongoing.

    Arthur is fine now but Eamonn (who is 2) is on heavy antiviral drugs to prevent the virus entering the brain and nervous system. Because of his age we have to hold him down and force the drugs down his throat three times a day. Just imagine that for yourself as an adult. It is very traumatic all round.

    On the plus side, he's home now, although in poor shape. Hopefully things will improve over the next few days. I'm sure they will ... with lots of hard times in between.

    Clearly I am a different person after these last four weeks. I will post what lessons have been taught to my stupid arrogant skull when I get a chance.

    Thank you again to you all, to my teacher and to Bodhisatva Kannon, that we make manifest with our actions.

    May all suffering beings everywhere find relief.

      I have had this done to me as a child and I have had to do it for my children as an adult. My sympathy for you and Eamonn.

      Thanks for keeping us updated and try to get some sleep.

        I've only just read this. Metta for you and your family Myozan. Take care, and try to grab some sleep when you can.

            Thank you Myozan for the update and happy to here they are home and on the path of getting better.

            I know how you feel about having to force the meds. My daughter had Infantile myoclonic seizures when she was 3 months old ... the treatment was injections everyday.

            Be well and much metta to you all.

                  Wonderful. My heart was breaking when Taigu told me the news. I cannot even imagine. Take great care of your boys, your wife and yourself as I know you will.

                  Deep bows.

                  Gassho,

                        Having children who are suffering from illness is one of the worst personal struggles I can imagine. Best thoughts for a quick recovery and return to peace

                            Oh I"m so sorry. I've had to do this to my oldest son with various medications and it is just heartbreaking. I think it's harder on the parent than it is on the child!! I continue to offer metta to you and your family. I hope your life gets back to normal very soon!!!
