i wasn't going to, after last week's episode. and i'm thinking i shouldn't have watched yesterday but for totally different reasons. i BAWLED my freaking eyes out and then had to climb into my son's bed just to hug him.
one of the storylines was about a father of 2 kids, a girl 9 and a boy 2. all 3 had cystic fibrosis. the girl had a lung infection that was going to kill her and if the father and son went near her, they would catch it and die as well.so they had to isolate the girl in the hospital and her fater couldn't really see her or touch her. when the girl realized she was dying for sure, she freaked out and was crying for her daddy. the father was going crazy and ended up passing his son to one of the doctors, telling them that he couldn't allow his daughter to die alone. he went into the room and held his daughter while his son was screaming for him. basically, he went into that room, knowing that by doing so he would die.
one of the doctors said that "he just gave up on his son."
i BAWLED. i couldn't imagine having to make that choice. but i think that i would have done the same thing!! his 9yo is DYING. the 2yo is sick, but not dying. i couldn't let my child die alone. i just couldn't. oh god. i'm crying just thinking about it.
i need to stop watching that damn show.
