You have shown that they don't...or maybe they do...but in a very different way. I'm glad you recognized that the child's appearance wasn't due to lack of love but rather lack of knowledge and education on the parents part....with the assistance of the social worker I am confident the parents will endeavour to provide for their child to the best of their abilities!<br /><br />Wonderful insightful post...thanks once again Doc!Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-53440797148302335042011-08-22T13:29:47.368-04:002011-08-22T13:29:47.368-04:00heart touching... great story... good to know that...heart touching... great story... good to know that doctors like you still exists.. carry on with the good work and enjoy what you do....Sam Thampanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994053392636035668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-75886150981808587022011-08-16T08:00:53.238-04:002011-08-16T08:00:53.238-04:00Good to see you back again - and have a great holi...Good to see you back again - and have a great holiday!merinzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950053039147788819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-84375192465543034232011-08-16T02:13:01.701-04:002011-08-16T02:13:01.701-04:00It's very good post.

I am very good with managing my money but it is still a struggle. <br /><br />Perhaps for them it was a choice between food, toys...or soap. <br /><br />I hope they get additional help down the road. I'm glad you were able to see the love. =)Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05704037582961814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-44565441879513536142011-08-13T22:19:56.052-04:002011-08-13T22:19:56.052-04:00I love your posts.

Would l...Oh Jim ...and yet another beautiful post.<br /><br />Would love to have you for our family doc! :)<br /><br />I think it was so important that you reinforced their positive input into their son. No doubt they get judged because of their appearance and people miss what IS most important. Just as with the last family you mentioned.<br /><br />you can have everything ...but without love and respect ...what do you really have?<br /><br />Hygiene is obviously so important. Perhaps they just need that guidance and someone championing their efforts ..a mentor of sorts. I'll be honest. I don't know why hygiene would not be an obvious thing. I know people can't afford dental ...but you can brush your teeth, etc.<br /><br />Culture they came up in? Depression? It just seems so basic. A bar of soap? Hopefully, just as you hoped ..they have improved in that area.<br /><br />I remember some patients coming into the ER and the kids were as you described, but the parents were atrocious and spoke to them in ways that made me CRINGE. Whenever I could, I would be supportive of the child (politely), but reinforce something positive about them.<br /><br />I remember one child looked up at me incredulously and his parents stopped in their tracks. he seemed surprised, but appreciative of my kind words (rescuing him from parent's verbal abuse)and his parents were taken aback and shut up.<br /><br />The boy you describe has a good chance in life. I often wondered about the kids from the types of family where they lived in bad environments ..seemingly low parental IQs (definitely socially), verbal abuse and generational welfare mentality.<br /><br />Your patient was loved.<br /><br />I love that you see the real person beyond the outer appearances.<br /><br />New England is BEAUTIFUL! Glad you and your family are having fun. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-66566058299785581682011-08-11T03:10:26.932-04:002011-08-11T03:10:26.932-04:00Glad to hear you are well, was beginning to worry....Glad to hear you are well, was beginning to worry.

In the grips of a cold and jet lag... but alive and well, all things considered.<br /><br />Just yesterday I was thinking and blog commenting about some kids I met in Guatemala a few years back. They had broken Barbies, beans for meals, and blankets that wouldn't keep me warm... but you wouldn't find them complaining. They had joy beyond anything we could imagine!<br /><br /><>< KatieKatie Axelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361471654719262744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-44204410366409464832011-08-10T17:49:10.828-04:002011-08-10T17:49:10.828-04:00Thanks for the lovely story, and you tell it so we...Thanks for the lovely story, and you tell it so well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-66872242840486269842011-08-10T16:18:27.161-04:002011-08-10T16:18:27.161-04:00I love the kindness and empathy that surges out of...I love the kindness and empathy that surges out of the posts you write. <br /><br />Recently my 20 Something daughter and I went to see a documentary together. It was about a man named Buck Brannaman who is a horse trainer by trade. One of the (many)things that caught my attention was a brief view of him working with his youngest daughter before his clinic started. Riata, who was probably 16 or 17, was on a colt she was starting and he was helping her. The enjoyment he got from being with his daughter, doing something they both love, came through with the quiet laughter and the jokes they shared. Too often we don't see parents who appreciate their kids, we see parents who are impatient, with just-below-the-surface-anger. It is tremendously refreshing to see parents like Buck or Joshua's who are open to suggestions and so obviously love that child.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-75418727070806252002011-08-10T15:37:01.748-04:002011-08-10T15:37:01.748-04:00I continue to read this blog because it has a hear...I continue to read this blog because it has a heart.

They will take children with little reason and not give them back, and they might find his bad teeth reason enough to take him. I really hope you continue to follow them. Child protective services has a tendency to take the child first, and forget to ask questions later. I haven't lost a child myself, but my nephew did. And, I've read many many horror stories about parents not being able to get their children back while researching ways to help get him out of foster care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-57394235367396820792011-08-10T10:32:19.854-04:002011-08-10T10:32:19.854-04:00I so relate to this, gives me some insight into wh...I so relate to this, gives me some insight into why doctors seem to get an attitude with me pretty quickly when i ask why they turned off the TV show my child was watching.<br />That and being clean and neat, being able to speak in complete sentences and ask challenging questions.
