From Seth on the Family Situation

Prayers up, for you, your family, and all involved in your son's care.

Love you Seth, hoping for the best for your son and your family. I've shadowed several rounds in different departments at Michigan Medicine and it really is an impressive sight at time.

Sending good vibes your way.   Wishing your son a complete recovery - thoughts and prayers with him, you, and your entire family.

The staff at Mott's is incredible.   And, that view - plan to take a walk through the Arb with your son after he recovers.

Praying for your son, Seth. Years ago I was part of the pain management rounding team as a pharmacy student at Michigan. I can second that "Apollo Mission" statement. They are the epitome of the word "professional" and also of "emapthy" and "strength". He's in good hands. Godspeed. 

Thoughts and prayers amigo.

And I know it might seem trite, but is there anything us readers can do to give back to you and your fam?

Best wishes to you and family.

From my very limited experience, you are right that those at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital are extraordinary.

Family comes first.  It's totally understandable if you're not able to produce a lot of content at the moment.

Hope/pray for all the best - he should be in good hands at Mott, fortunately.

Seth - all positive vibes and karma that we can muster to you and your family.  B’Ezrat Hashem

And this is why my donation dollars go to Mott instead of the athletic department - these are the things that really matter.

I'm so sorry to hear this, but hopeful about the prognosis.  There are so many things in life more important than our work.  I don't pray often but this will be an exception.  

My heart goes out to your family. Glad your son is able to get excellent care, close to home with loved ones nearby. And I'm glad you can put the day to day tasks of your job aside to be there for him - that's the way it should be!

On a sillier note, did the artist use Lloyd Brady as a model for T-Force or is it just me?

best to you and yours, seth.  be well.

Thoughts and prayers, may he fully recovers sooner than later. 

May the One who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, bless and heal Seth's son. May the Holy Blessed One be filled with compassion for their health to be restored and their strength to be revived. May God heal him soon, body and soul, together with others who suffer illness. And let us say: Amen

My prayers are not only with your son, but especially with your wife, and also with you. I think the agony and grief of a mother's heart for their sick or struggling child can be very severe. שָׁלוֹם

p.s. For me, I will be praying for you all in reality. It is part of my daily life.

Man, do whatever you need to do right now.  You don’t need to apologize in the least.  Best wishes to your family and I hope things work out for him.

I'm so sorry to hear of your and your family's struggle. Hang in there and let us know if there is anything we can do to help. You're doing what is most important.

Seth, we're all pulling for you, your son, and the rest of your family.  Prayers being sent your way.

Praying for your son’s recovery, Seth. 

I'm glad to hear he is expected to recover! 

If you have the time and the interest, I'd be curious to hear how the treatment process evolved for you. This seems like something you should be able to go through the ER and get triaged, and into diagnosis stage. The fact that you felt like you needed to reach out on this forum seems like you hit a wall somewhere that you should not have hit. 

So I'm just curious how you got through the emergency and diagnosis process and what ended up working.

(generally I despise going through Mott for routine care and testing, it is slow and difficult and expensive, but for something rare and complex like this I'd want nothing else in my child's backyard).

Prayers to your son and your family!  Glad to hear the care is great and looking forward to hearing about a full recovery!

I'm sorry for your boy to pull a crappy card from the health deck. Sucks big time. Hoping he makes a speedy and full recovery. This too shall pass.

Great hospital and very grateful my niece was there for the first 2 months of her life when she was born with a defect that very few hospitals in the US can accommodate.    Very thankful for them and to this day they still consult on her condition even though she had a successful surgery and will be fully recovered in a couple years.  

Prayers for you and your family Seth

Praying over your son, your family, and all those caring for your son to be at the best of their God-given abilities!

Go Blue!

Very sorry to hear that as those two diseases are very scary.  So I take it with meds after he gets over this bout or flare up it can hopefully keep it in remission for his life?  I know it affects the nerves which In turn why he is on the ventilator because his nerves to breath are not working.  It is a very scary thing to see and I wish you nothing but you and your family the best.  Hoping that some day they find a cure to these or at least something that makes a flare up never happen again.  

Sorry to hear this, Seth, but glad you and your family have access to the real Michigan Difference.  They are top-notch at every position there.  Your little guy is in the best of hands.

UM healthcare. The Leaders and Best.

Shit, Seth... so sorry you're going through this.  My thoughts are with you.

All good Seth. Your real family comes first.

The rest of us can send our love and take a moment to appreciate what you do for the MGo family.

Praying for a speedy and complete recovery for your son.  I hope Mott does their best Michigan interior line impression and steamrolls this thing with purpose and prejudice and precision.

The upside to our shared addiction is that we'll all still be here when you get back. 

That's rough, Seth. I hope the kid recovers quickly and starts feeling better. I'll say some prayers. Take care and good luck. 

Dear Seth, I wish your son, you, and your family the best. Sending good vibes from the heart.

Best wishes to you and your family, Seth.

Hope we hear from you sooner than later, because that will mean all is well again!

I can't begin to heap enough praises on the Mott staff that I encountered when my child spent more than a week in the hospital with RSV when they were less than 2 months old. And that includes, of course, the amazing doctors and nurses that took care of us. But also every other staff member we encountered. From the check-in desk, cafeteria, gift shop, cleaning crews, and the awesome person in billings that helped us navigate some tricky insurance related issues. They took a period of our lives that was fairly stressful and really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. 

Best wishes Seth! No doubt about a full recovery with St. Denard looking over your little guy. You're in great hands at Mott.

Knowing you you'll probably be able to write a Neck Sharpies on the mechanism of Guillain-Barre before long. Autoimmunity is sometimes a black box as far as origins go but the treatment for the symptoms while the body sorts it out can be very effective. Bright days ahead.

Take care Seth and family.

Mott is the best. Sending my best wishes to your son and family! 

Wishing your son a complete recovery. Also sending you strength to cope with what parents dread the most, a sick child. I'm so glad he's in a place that provides the very best care.

Wishing your son a swift & full recovery.

Was just thinking about you and your family as I hopped in my car out here in Pasadena this morning. Thank you for posting an update. 

Thankful to know that there's a path to recovery.  Shit like this puts football (and everything else we spend time arguing about) in perspective.
