Digging deeper and staying positive here.

And I have to say this--it's not easy.
It has been discovered that my son possibly has a serious medical condition other than all of those caused by the accident. Today, we go for some scans, etc. to dig deeper into this. He is worried, and so am I, although of course I am doing the mom thing and being as supportive as I can. I keep telling him that nothing is diagnosed for sure yet, that's what the tests are for.
Have you ever wanted to just scream and yell, and tell the world, ''This isn't fair?'' It's what I want to do. Of course, I know my son isn't perfect--no one is. But he is kind, a good person, he's helped so many people over the years. He's built laptops and given them to veteran's who wanted or needed one. He's rescued animals. If he sees someone he can help, he tried to help them. I am not bragging when I say he is a good man--he truly is.
Maybe I shouldn't write this. Maybe I should. He has requested that his father, and his siblings, know nothing of these additional tests, etc. until we get a firm answer, and of course I am respecting his wishes. The only person that knows anything so far besides me is my best friend, who is truly like my sister.
He's tried so hard to get well, heal, and plan a new life. If you have any spare prayers, stars to wish on, good healing thoughts...you don't even have to type them, it's fine...please think a kind thought or two for him. He isn't one to seek attention.
We are simply hoping and praying here for good results and a solution.
Thank you, friends.

When I first heard this, I think I went mute for 10 minutes. I couldn't talk and I could barely think, I was simply stunned. We appreciate the prayers and good thoughts, Judy.

I hope and pray that the scans show nothing to be concerned about. Both of you don't deserve any more problems. Sending prayers.

I hope the result are all okay.
Screaming? I am done screaming and scaring myself. I just told myself if God gave me a problem or sickness that I have no control of nor the doctors, that's His problem. Personally, I am really tired of the cancer scare, and all the doctors have been telling me decades ago, I just told God that it's His problem, not mine. to Christ be the glory.

I’m praying for you both, of course. That’s the bad thing about life: it isn’t fair.

I will definitely add him (and you} to my prayers. With all that you've been through it certainly doesn't seem fair and I hope that all his tests come back okay.

since i don't pray anymore, i can only say i believe he will find the answers and improve his life cause, he deserves it. i had some health issues with my spine, hips, knees, my shoulder. it is nothing large, but nothing small either and i decided to stop searching doctors' opinion cause, they made me frustrated. i wasted time scheduling then, some barely explanation from them and you wait 6 or more months for a physical therapy and you're not even sure for which exact body part is hurting. i salute you both on your patience.
