OT - My Son's Illness - Prayers Needed

[Guest guest]

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.

Luckily we are only about 20 minutes from the hospital.

This is long enough so I will get it mailed. Thanks for remembering us.

Hugs,

Libby
