MY NAME IS LASHAWNYIA THOMAS I WAS BLESSED WITH 2 BEAUTIFUL SONS-JORDAN DORSHAUN THOMAS AND RONALD CHANNING THOMAS. IN AUGUST 2008 JORDAN HURT HIS WRIST PLAYING BASKETBALL AND WAS SEEN BY ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALIST. HE WAS GIVEN A CASK SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS BUT THE DOCTOR DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT JORDANS ARM HAD SWOLLEN LARGER THAN MY ARM AND HIS ARM WAS BLACK WHEN THEY TOOK THE CASK OFF THE FIRST TIME BUT THEY PUT ANOTHER ONE ON IT.JORDAN GOT VERY SICK AND HAD TO FLOWN TO EGLESTONS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IN ATLANTA. JORDAN PASSED AWAY EXACTLY 2 WEEKS AFTER ENTERING THE HOSPITAL. JORDAN DID NOT HAVE ANY SORES OR OPEN WOUNDS BUT HE HAD STAPH FROM A BONE INJURY CAUSED BY A DOCTOR WHO DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO MY SONS SYMPTOMS AND JUST PUT ANOTHER CASK OVER AN ALREADY INFECTED ARM. MY SON WAS ONLY 14 YEARS OLD AND A BEAUTIFUL CHILD-HONOR STUDENT-ALL STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER AND I MISS HIM DEARLY. MY OLDEST SON LOST HIS BEST FRIEND BECAUSE OF DOCTOR NEGLIGENCE. JORDANS FUNERAL WAS THE LARGEST EVER IN OUR TOWN OF DUBLIN,GA. BLACK AND WHITE-YOUNG AND OLD-ATTENDED HIS SERVICE. HE TOUCHED ALL AGES AND IS STILL TOUCHING EVERYONE'S LIVES. I AM ON A CRUSADE TO MAKE SURE NOONE FORGETS WHAT MY SON WENT THROUGH. MY BABY BOY WAS A TRUE SOLDIER AND FOUGHT FOR 2 WEEKS TO STAY ALIVE AND I HAD TO TELL HIM THAT I WOULD BE OKAY IF HE WAS TIRED AND READY TO GO LIVE WITH JESUS BEFORE HE WOULD LET GO. OUR RELATIONSHIP(ME AND MY BOYS)HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE. I LIVE MY LIFE FOR THEM AND RIGHT NOW I FIGHT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY. MY OLDEST SON CHANNING DID NOT GO HIS JUNIOR PROM THIS YEAR BECAUSE HE HAD PLANNED ON TAKING HIS BROTHER WITH HIM BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE JORDAN'S FRESHMAN YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND HIS FIRST YEAR EVER BEING ABLE TO PLAY BASEBALL ON THE SAME TEAM AS HIS BROTHER. IL LJUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU AFTER I SHOW YOUR SHOW ABOUT STAPH AND THE 11 YEAR OLD GIRL THAT DIED.
