Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Lori, Thanks for the news even if it wasn't good and I know it hurt you so much to write it. Both physically and emotionally. Your whole family is going through one horrendous experience with all this and I can only imagine what it is doing to your son. How frightening to be going through it all at such a young age. At a time like this everyone else's pain is so small in comparison but DO take care of yourself as best you can! You won't be of any use to him if you aren't able to deal with it.
