In response to "I'd be cracking skulls and peeling paint off the walls. -- nm" by Reagen

Believe it or not, this is not the first time this has been brought up.

"I am your son, I should be one of the FIRST calls you make" has obviously gone in one ear and out the other.

From Will's report, she apparently had a seizure but is now coherent and talking normally. So the facebook message of "stay strong, we're not ready to lose you yet" may have been a little premature.

Responses:

what is the rationale? "don't want to upset him"? -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:53 18
- Most likely. - kelly May 12, 19:58 17
  - My Dad does this ALL the time. Well before he moved in with me. Now he can't hide it. - Redmond May 12, 20:01 15
    - my folks do this for the more minor stuff (if getting hit in the head with a falling tree and having it shatter your jaw is minor - kare May 12, 20:08 3
      - apparently our rule is that my brother (the oldest) calls the rest of us, even though my sister is local. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:11 2
        
        we have pretty much zero extended family, so that helps matters too. -- nm - kare May 12, 20:12 1
        
        sometimes (most times?) extended family makes things ... complicated. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:33
    - dear God. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:02 10
      - I immediately made him list me as the emergency contact at the VA -- nm - Redmond May 12, 20:02 9
        
        Anyway my point is. My Dad does this same shit. I sympathise with your frustration peeps. -- nm - Redmond May 12, 20:03
        
        If my dad this this I would FREAK. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:03 7
        
        When I was having my heart issue I told my wife not to call my Mom. - Redmond May 12, 20:05 6
        
        That said! There is no fucking way I am letting my Mom find out by a cousin posting "your son is having a heart attack" - Redmond May 12, 20:07 5
        
        Eh, we're cutting her some slack. She's 16 - didn't realize nobody else knew. -- nm - kelly May 12, 20:12 2
        
        Fair enough. In this case it's almost better that she posted otherwise how much longer would you not know? - Redmond May 12, 20:14 1
        
        He got a phone call on his way to the ER, so he would have known eventually - just not in such a dramatic fashion. - kelly May 12, 20:16
        
        that's the thing. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:10
        
        right? i think it's insensitive of the cousin too -- nm - kare May 12, 20:09
  - that sucks, in every way. So sorry you guys have to deal with this. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:59
This is what I fear what would happen if my dad got sick - eag May 12, 19:48
oh geez, i would have needed an ambulance myself after reading that. -- nm - TFox May 12, 19:47
tattoo Will's number on her forehead? -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:39
