OT - My Son's Illness - Prayers Needed

Libby

I hope your son has a good neurologist. There are some viral things that

progress this way, too, so it may not be a lifelong thing, it may be an acute

thing. Thinking of you and your son.........Cary

Libby: I am so sorry what you and son are going through, I started

my diagnosis along these lines , and with MRI and spinal tap, was

diagnosed with MS.....later the diagnosis was changed even with the

results...don't give up hope, or stop asking any questions that pop

onto mind. I know it is very scary to hear these possibilities, but

baby step it for now,one day at a time would be my advise....your

son and yourself will be in my prayers during this very scary,

connfusing time, and I hope you will keep us updated.....kathi in OK

I am so sorry that this is happening to your son. Please keep us posted

regularly to let us know what you find out. My prayers are with you.

I am more a reader than a poster on this group, but wanted to write and ask

for your

prayers and good thoughts. I am currently at the hospital with my 21 year old

son. He

started experiencing numbness in his feet on Thursday morning and by Saturday

it started

traveling up his legs. By the time we were at the hospital and saw the

doctor, the

numbness had traveled to his chest. He has been through multiple blood

tests, two MRI's,

and a spinal tap. So far the neurologist has suggested the possibility of a

tumor, multiple

sclerosis(sp), and transverse myelitis. All of these are serious. We won't

have more

results for at least another couple of days. He could have a complete

recovery or he could

have various levels of disability from here on out. My computer at home will

automatically

download my mail and I go home at least every 8-10 hours to take care of our

two dogs.

Libby, I'm very sorry that you and your son are going through this. You

must be very worried. I'll pray that it is something temporary and that

he makes a full recovery. Please let us know what's happening.

I'll tell you where to go!

Libby,

I said a prayer as soon as I read your posting. Do tell us what is

happening and keep us posted when you can. May God strengthen you to endure

and increase your faith to trust in Him at such a difficult time. Remember

that God is in control and we are praying for the doctors who care for your

son.

Love,

Kay
