Thanks Scott! Any constructive criticism from you is always welcome by the way! I'm still in the learning process, and I know you have years of experience.
Haha BW is a great choice for emotional pictures and I'm guessing the hospital probably had horrendous lights.
If it were me in Lightroom there would be like some guys faces I would super super quickly run a brush over to lighten their faces because they were playing a keep role in the image. you don't have to lighten faces just because but... but if you want people to spend a little bit of their attention there then brighten them up with a nice thick brush with a big feathering and just a slight lightening helps include them even more.
It's usually the father which I suppose is important in the story so lighten him up is my thought it helps place him in the story through the usage of LIGHT.
BTW i only give critique for people I have a respect for and have asked for it. Unwanted critiques are the worst.
Oh yay. Thanks for the advice. I did try to put a bit more light on his face but my camera is not the best quality and the more I bring out the shadows the more grain comes in :( But I'll play around with it a bit more see what I can do. Thanks for the advice!

Light in their face put I will!
Yeah that does make it harder if the camera doesn't give you as much leeway
