Thank you all. GN is 7 years old going on 12. Three years ago when we were making Christmas cookies he decorated an angel with lines all over the middle. I asked him what that was and he responded - the digestive tract!
He is also my ride buddy when we go to amusement parks, and I take him with me to the stock car races so he can see his dad race. He's a great kid!
GN was released and is home now. They couldn't keep the IV in his vein anymore after moving it 3 times, so they sent home with oral antibiotics. His eye is at least open now, although still very puffy and a big red circle around it.

It boggles my mind how H and I are treated so differently by each of our families. I have not talked to my family about any of H's stuff, although they heard rumors and asked me. My family includes him in family emails, holidays, etc. just like no problems ever happened. H's family has no contact with me, no calls, no emails, no thank you's for the gifts I send, nothing. H had told them that he was leaving, and I don't know what else was said. Heck, I didn't even know he told them until a year later!
