BobSaccamanno Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I really liked Vaden’s game. He was a rare bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming period for IU basketball. There were more “what if’s” than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 On 12/11/2018 at 12:51 PM, Parakeet Jones said: Gee whiz. My five year old was in the hospital for five days in March with pneumonia. Had this happened before that and I had known about it, I would have been freaked out even more. I remember someone telling me when he got out that most people don't understand just how serious pneumonia can be. My condolences to his family. I’m putting this here since I mentioned it earlier in the thread. We are back at children’s hospital with my son for his second round of pneumonia this year. He has been admitted and we are waiting for a room. IV meds are going. Please keep him in your prayers. He is a big Hoosier fan already. You all would love him.

That is pretty damn good. I would surmise that had he stayed he would have been an IU legend. The guy could flat arsz shoot. Yeah. Have to agree with you. However, after stating that and watching as many UAB games, as I could..... Davis put a very long leash on Robert. As good as he was... I saw many ill advised shots as well. Still, a kid who got drafted out of UAB... and most likely would have gone higher, had he stayed at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off. Thoughts are with you. Hopefully your kid will get better. Secondly...I work in healthcare and often am in hospitals around the country. I tell everyone this. You want to find the toughest people in this country? Go to a pediatric cancer floor at your local hospital. Or better yet...for those that have kids take your children there sometime (several ways to donate time, $,etc...). It's an eyeopener for all to realize how good they have it compared to these little kids fighting for their life each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Josh Smith part of the IU family? I respect Mike Davis but that is a stretch. We are not Kentucky. I'm sending prayers for your son Parakeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Thanks for all the prayers. We might be here a while to make sure he gets all the antibiotics he needs. They are doing blood work to check his immune system since he gets sick so much. One thought is chronic sinusitis which would lead to about three weeks of antibiotics and his tonsils coming out. I usually wouldn’t do this, but here he is after the Northwestern game. He is only five, but already a huge fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
