There's so much going on right now, I'm not sure which end is up.
My nephew, a few wks old, has some serious health issues. He was born with both a sealed valve, and a hole in his heart. They've put a temp shunt in, and intend for him to have surgery btwn 4-6 mths of age to fix the hole and put in a perm shunt.
He's been admitted to the hospital...he was having blood in his diapers. My bro and his wife were told by 2 different ERs that it was a milk allergy. A check up a day later at the children's hospital showed it was a bowel infection. He's in for at least 2 wks, to a month. Last I heard the antibiotics are working, but they can't feed him b/c he needs to heal, so he's on an IV only.
Then I've got the medical panel next Friday. Decisions will be made as to the future of my workers comp claim...but I have no clue as to what I'm walking into. I know that the bone scan showed no abnormalities...basically, I've kept up my physio at home and have so far staved off bone loss, which is great for my health, but bad for the medical panel whose looking for objective evidence of RSD. *sigh* I don't have a clue, and won't know until the day, the results of the other testing. I'm terrified.
If it were just me effected, I could deal...but this impacts my family too.
I feel guilty for worrying, b/c my nephew's health is so much more frightening and dire, but can't shake it either. Does that make me self absorbed?

You are not self-absorbed. Your concerns are very valid regarding you and your family's future. It's a big deal and anyone in your position would be stressed. Put it all in God's hands. You have done your best and now it's time to leave it up to him.
Being in the hospital is the best thing for baby. Not that there is much comfort in it but he is at least in a place where he will have 24 hour care. Hopefully the infection will come under control quickly.
