Often times one does not realize the value of a person, until they are in need or suffering. That may seem to be a very pessimistic outlook on life but, people tend to run to each other when they are in need. I have grown up in a large family with over thirty cousins whom live near me and I see very often. My family has always being there to support me through good times and bad and it is always fun to see. In my family I have a cousin named
Ben. Ben is twenty-six years old, and has been living with the most severe type of Cerebral Palsy since the day he was born. His condition inhibits him from walking, talking, and eating. He has two youngers sisters and his mom Barb, and dad Jim. Barb and Jim have been Bens caretaker from the day

This was all until three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, Barb and Jim brought Ben to the Emergency Room because he spiked a very high temperature. They found out that Ben had the flu and a small case of pneumonia. In most cases this would not be horrible news, but Ben has bad lungs to begin with. For a few days Ben was doing well, my family went to visit him for a couple days. We sat in his room with Barb and Jim and made him laugh. But the hope for this to end ended quickly. Eventually it was becoming harder and harder for Ben to breathe and he had to go on a ventilator. He was on the ventilator for over seven days. Three days ago they got him off the ventilator because they thought he was doing better. They thought he could be home by the weekend. But last night as I was sitting in my living room at about ten with my mom, she got a call from Barb. Barb and Jim have traded off spending every day and night at the hospital since their son has been there. Barb was crying on the phone and my mom left for the hospital. Ben is now back on the ventilator and he is not doing well. They took a xray of his lungs and the pneumonia has spread through his entire right lung. He is resistant to most antibiotics due to previous treatments. At this point there is becoming less and less hope for Ben. My entire family is hoping for the best so the light he brings and the laughs do not …show more content…
Ben did not have control over getting pneumonia, and at this point he does not have much control over how he recovers. This demonstrates naturalism because naturalist believe that nature has absolute control over humans. That one can not stop bad things from happening. My life has been filled with lots of great things and happiness, but bad things that have happened to me I did not previously have control over. When my parents got divorced I had no idea what to do. I thought they would never be friends again and my life would be a lot harder. But as I got older and years went by my parents became best friends again. That’s really taught me that sometimes bad things happen, but better things can result. If my parents were not meant to be married, they are now happier and amazing parents to me and my siblings being apart. I strongly believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Yes I do have control over my future but I am where I am for a reason. And I believe that often times bad things are a blessing, and they welcome good things in the future. The coming together of my family during this hard time really shows me how important it is to be supportive and caring for others in times of good and
I use to be very angry as a consequence I would try to sabotage the good things that were coming my way. However I chose to change the way I looked at what happened. If it was not for this situation I would not be where I am today. I am thankful for the reason that I came from a negative situation and I chose to turn it into a positive outcome. I can relate to many different people because I have experienced the both sides of life.
and spoke with the tending ICU unit nurse (Alyssa) who advised that Joseph Dorsey’s current condition was stable and admitted. I spoke with his IUC nurse Alyssa again at 7:39 p.m. and she advised that she had spoken with Joseph Dorsey and he is alert at this time.

He then got pneumonia and then the doctors thought he was all better so they sent him home. And then a couple days later he got in really bad shape again and then when they brought him back to the ER, the doctors said there was nothing else they could do, so they put him in hospice. He was so strong in hospice, but you could just tell everyday that he was getting worse and worse. Then it was a Friday night, and the doctor said that he doesn’t think that he will be around for much longer, said he might not make it through the night.

He wasn't safe in the hospital because he could get killed in the hospital. Even the doctor said that he shouldn't be too comfortable or safe. The doctor was also a Jew.

Very sick. Barley breathing actually. It was caused by dehydration. A few hours later sadly, Rose passed away. I was devastated.
One of the things that has been a struggle for me over the years is the slowness of my reading and the process of absorbing written materials. I was always a bad speller and had a very low self esteem on my academic abilities. Eventually, I came to realize that I must have some sort of reading disability, inherited from my mother who struggled as well with the same issues. When I was in elementary and secondary school nobody ever talked about these kinds of disabilities and I was ridiculed many times from many teachers for not trying hard enough. I was labeled as not living up to my potential, as teachers could tell that I was bright, but couldn 't seem to come up with better grades.
He was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital where Janice Cole, one of the doctors employed there and his prison doctor, attempted to stabilize him. However, doctors later pronounced him dead when attempts to resuscitate him failed. Soon after, he spontaneously "auto-resuscitated" in one of the doctors described as "The Lazarus Effect. " It was at this time that, amidst the Monday morning mayhem, he managed to change into the attire of a hospital employee. Under the guise of a doctor, he absconded the hospital and began, or rather resumed, his manic killing spree.

However, I wished it won’t be happen. Actually, I hoped my parents might make a good relationship again in my heart. My family did well until when I was 12 years old, as far as I remember.
