I'm not a troll Smiles. I'm just a blind guy who drinks too much, and works from home. Oh, and I'm half your age, so my life tends to change quite a bit quicker than yours.
I'm just worried, and don't know what to do, hence my posting history over the past few days. I'm just stuck sitting here with the dogs, waiting for information. I've been told to stay put, and not to worry, so I'm doing my best.
Ok, he's back already, so I can stop being crazy now.
Question for anyone with experience. Obtaining spinal fluid isn't very dangerous, is it? That's the next test the doctors have wanted to do, but the family refused to let them, because the doctors said it's very dangerous with chance of death. I'm hesitant to give my opinion, because I'm probably wrong, but I though obtaining spinal fluid was a fairly routine procedure.
maybe ask a doctor about that instead of random gay guys on a message board?

They've been living in the hospital for the last few days, so obviously a doctor has been consulted. This isn't exactly a high-end medical center in Houston, Texas though.
Hopefully we can just get her moved to KK Ram. I've offered to foot the bill, so not sure what the hold up there is either.
Doctors can't figure out what's wrong, so said next test they want to do is obtain spinal fluid. They said it's dangerous though with a 1% chance of death, hence the family has refused to allow it. However, the doctors also gave her a 20% chance of survival if nothing is done, so I don't get it. Give her the test then. What's the hold up? I must be missing something though, hence why I'm hesistant to vocalize my opinion.

And re the whole you maybe feeling you shouldn't say much more about it, yeah that's probably the best course of action for sure, say nothing more about it and just let the doctors get on with it maybe, best course of action all round perhaps.

Matt, NIrish is right. This isn't the place to ask for medical advice, just let the doctors and family sort it out.

That's what I'm doing. Just sitting here, keeping my mouth shut.
Still doesn't add up for me though, but not my mom, and not my family, so I'll just stay out of it. All I can do is provide love and support, and respect whatever decisions the family makes. Leo knows I'm here, he knows my entire savings is at his disposal, and so on. My savings might not be much, but it's enough to put her up in KK Ram with good doctors for a good while.
I remember I spent 2.5 days at KK Ram, and they took excellent care of me, but I left 63,000 baht lighter.
Thank god that that big rise in bitcoin eh, perfect timing.
Ohhh, and I found out why the family is opposed to us taking those kids. You know how in Asian families it's extremely important that the kids take care of their elderly parents, much more so than in the West. That's what the sisters were thinking.... that we want the kids, so we have someone to take care of us when we get old.
No, no.... nothing could be further from the truth.
Sounds like you'll be adopting an entire family, not just 2 children. Beware.
