I am coveting prayer from everyone who reads this. First, let me give some background to shed some light on our situation. For about 2 months, my oldest son(Linc) has complained off and on about his elbow not straightening and some discomfort. We summed it up as maybe growing pains, but after looking at it more closely we took him to the pediatrician, he then had x-rays to rule out any broken bones. X-ray was good so, off we go to an orthopedic doc. He sent him for an MRI(which he did wonderful-9 years old & it took about 70 min!!!), and Weds. we met with the doctor and he thinks my son has some form of arthritis. It could be Juv. Rhemitoid Arthritis(JRA- which my MIL has had since she was a girl) or one of many conditions he said too fast for me to remember!! The doctor is having a juv orthopedic doctor look at the MRI, to see what he thinks. My son will probably have to have a biopsy for us to know for sure. I know in the scheme of life this is probably very small, but to me it is a big deal. I keep thinking - "I wish it were me, instead of him". I know all parents feel this way. I know there are alot worse things that could be wrong. I guess, this is the first time I have let myself be down about this. I put on a happy face for him, because I don't want him to be scared and I know he probably won't understand the long term effects of something like this. He is a very sensitive boy. So, if you could pray that God's will be done in this. I would appreciate it. I would love to see complete healing, but I will accept His will no matter what. Thank you all who will pray for my son. God bless-Amy |
