Letter to Damian 1/22/2011

Damian,
  I was realising today how much you have inspired other parents to cherish every moment with their kids.  You are truely amazing even after you are gone.  I plan on writing lifeconnections of ohio today since I got ahold of them a couple days ago.  Did you know you saved two lives?  Your liver went to a 2 year old little girl who might not have made it if she hadn't gotten your donation (they dont have machines and chemicals to take over the liver function) and your kidneys went to a 54 year old woman.  I hope to meet both people someday.  You truely are a little superhero. 
  I have been getting a lot of people wanting the hospital names of where you had been treated so they can donate in your name to the hospitals.  I know it shouldn't trouble me but it does.  We have reason to believe you would be home today eating lunch right now if the tube they put in you under seditive hadn't been at least 2 sizes too small.  Your actual injuries were only 1st and 2nd degree and we are waiting on results and doing some digging to find out why you aren't merrily chattering about your lunch right now.  The neurologist that declaired you dead had said his belief was that it was the tubing that did it for you as you were breathing and responding just fine when they had desided to preumptively put the tube in just to be safe.  I'm not going to say one way or the other until I know for sure but we have reason to believe it was possible for you to be home already. 
trying to find answers while loving and missing you always
Your Mamum



[Since I have gotten a lot of requests for what hospitals to make donations to please know I do not wish any donations to go to the hospitals.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness but under these circumstances I would rather not have a donation in his name to the hospitals.  If you must make a donation in Damian's name to somewhere try lifeconnections of ohio for organ donation, after all they saved someone's two year old little girl.  You may also try donating to an animal shelter since Damian loved his puppy that I rescued off of craigslist who was a year old lab when I got him.  Another good cause in Damian's name would be kitchen safety awareness for children as if there were more awareness of the dangers of a kitchen he may not have gotten hurt in one.  Thank you everyone for your thoughtfulness. -Angela]

  1. I would most definelty do some digging and find out what happen too Angela It simply gave me mind staggering thoughts running through my head after I read your first blog. I told my hubby that was sitting next to me as I read your tragic accident and I had tears streaming down my face and the FIRST thing out of my mouth was that THEY did this to him not you not that pot of water he should of just had some blistering to the max of it not death!! He was fine at the first hospital and they fly him somewhere else (which you were not present for) (because you had to drive yourself) but you dont know what they did to him on the flight there either I would definetly do some searching I know it wont bring him back but he deserves an explanation from that hospital and if they dont have one DEMAND ONE!! I would not donate to the hospital either seems to me they didnt take the proper precations or procedures to help him!! GOD IM SO SORRY!!

  2. I had the same thought when i read that too He was fine until he was taken to the last hospital. I have one more question why did they give him morphine i had a son who got burned really bad and all he got was tylenol with codieine and the same with my friend when her son did the same thing your son done. just a question i think the morphine was a little strong like i said just a question i hope u find the answers i know they wont bring him back but i think u will find out you did everything u could for him Iam so sorry for your loss and i will keep praying for u
