I'm glad your son is doing better. Amazing that his systems keep regenerating, and begin to function once again. I can only hope his heart follows suit.
It's truely a story that shows how powerful the bond between the mother and child is. You, and your son have both fought and accomplished much more than anybody gave you the chance of doing.
As a side note, and I'm not saying this as an excuse, but psychological studies have shown that the male usually feels he has failed his child, that whatever is the cause of the problems with their children can somehow be their inadaquacy, both biologically, and mentally. As his biological father looked at his struggling son, it's reasonable to believe he felt it was his fault, and reminding himself of his failure as a father 24/7 was probably very hard. It's both a terrible thing, and a blessing in disguise as Brayden now has a loving father to fufill the need like his biological father should have been able to do.
I think children fight so hard because they don't see dreams crushed, and hopes disappear. They are innocent, and they don't have the experience to show them the difficulties and hardships people face throughout their lives.
Best of luck to you, your husband, and your children, Jayna.
As far as the superior sex thing goes, I don't feel labelling one sex as superior to the other is realistic on a general level. For individual situations, I think I've seen enough of how the two sexes function to make a relatively accurate guess at which sex is more likely to perform adaquately in a given situation.
