Your kid gets hurt or sick and you want to rescue. I'm the same way. My kids don't care enough to tell me when something's wrong most of the time. Yours did and that shows a good bond! Your sister is helping. That's awesome too. You have a good family here. Take care of that poor kitty and yourself. Your sister will keep you updated I'm sure.

You reminded me of positive signs, SorryShaped. He's 23 and it matters because the part of his brain that controls executive functioning hasn't completely wired itself up and I know he can be incredibly insulting and irritating if he would want to. It's also about being so drunk you don't know what is going on in an inherently unsafe environment. I worry about how he could have got into this situation and not recognized the danger and walked out after the first time the guy swung at him. It's hard to write this without sounding like I am blaming him for what happened... which I am not.
There's a great a**hole out there in the world that did this to my son... But I also hope my son learns some lessons ( like reading the fine print on travel insurance.. he didn't maintain the provincial insurance so it's not valid).
Well I just heard he got a private room with his friend in a hostel in guatemala city to get a plane out of there tomorrow. He's lucky it wasn't much worse.
He just told me he had a meltdown last night because no one took it seriously enough to get him medical care in the middle of the night. And he cried during the day when he realized that the criminal who sucker punched him could have had a knife or left his mouth a bloody mess (which is not the case).
I don't have a great relationship with him in person but he has always contacted me when he was in dire straights and when he is really doing well and has something to celebrate.
You are right I don't have to worry. As long as he learns from this that and keeps his health that is all that matters.
