Well as we all have grown friends over the past while,and to be honest I dont exactly have alot of people i consider close friends as im rather reclusive.   and today i mentioned some news in my life that was rather dramatic and i figured i should atleast update you guys with whats going on.

I've been home most of the day looking after my youngest while my X is at the hospital tending to my son.  Ive been rather emotional though so i havent really been on here, and wanted to spend most of it with my girl.  she is in bed now so ive got a moment to sit here and go over things. im still sort of in shock about everything. My son will be transfered to BC childrens hosptial shortly for an MRI, further testing and doctors that are familiar with this sorta thing. after a CT scan, blood work, lumbar puncture and EEG,  The current running theory the doctors are telling us is it was most likely a stroke.  I was kind of flabbergasted when told,  Ive never really thought about kids having strokes, it was one of the furthest things in my mind that i could have come up with.. but Right now hes awake, alert and doing better than just a few hours ago, im hoping the worst is behind us but really hope we can get an idea of what caused it.. and hopefully BCCH can get to the route of everything.  at first hearing they wanted to transfer him there had me scared but im feeling better knowing hell at least be somewhere that specializes in stuff like this.

i wanna thank you guys for the well wishes earlier, and it helps to be able to get it out and not just bury it.

Thanx,  We are doing well and getting lots of support.  my mom is coming into town tomorrow to lend a hand for a couple days. and Ive been reading kids handle strokes better than adults so ive had that to kinda hold onto.  really cant wait to pick a doctors brain when i get a chance.

Thanx man.  Hes a fighter and has already began whining about wanting to play lbp and a level he hasnt finished making yet lol

That's sad to hear but good that he's doing better. I've never heard about kids getting strokes either (and I'm a medical student...), but then again I haven't done the pediatrics course yet. Best wishes to him and you and your family and a speedy recovery

That's excellent to hear, hopefully the figure out the core of the problem soon and your boy returns quickly in great health

Hopefully it is just a stroke and not anything no one can figure out.  On the down side, he's gonna need a lot of physio therapy.

Thanx everyone.we are doing well and waiting for the next specialist.   besides being very lathargic and sleeping alot he seems to be doing pretty well so my hopes are up today

DD_Bwest

Hes out and just got home.  hes basically back to normal but we have to wait like a month while they run the genetic testing to see what exactly it is, and i have a sheet to give the hospital if any one a list of symptons show up again.  hes gotta go back at the first sign of anything but hopefully that wont happen...  Thanx for the well wishes everyone! :)
