My Son

[Eggar_suit]

I just wanted to apologize for my absence over the last month and a half or so.  My wife and found out that our 20 month old son has a spinal deformity that is going to require surgery.  This deformity is causing one side of his body to grow at a faster rate than the other and the fact that it was caught early is a good thing, but I can't even express how terrifying that is to hear as a parent for someone so young.  My wife and I have been researching doctors and facilities to give our son the best chance possible of coming through this with his spine being completely normal and without further surgery required.   As you may guess, this has taken most of our free time. 

We had about a week of us crying and being scared in anticipation of this surgery.  After the week, I told my wife that we were doing no good.  Our son, Max, is happy and without pain.  All we were doing was making his present miserable (it's really amazing how children pick up on the feelings of their parents and react to it), so we are better, but until we have another sit down with the doctor (he has an MRI in a month which will last three hours and has to be sedated for), we won't know much more. 

My apologies for not writing sooner, but I am sure all of you understand.  Please pray for him and for us.

Thanks,

Eggar

I am not sure what to say here.  Good luck doesn't seem appropriate.  You all are in our prayers, for sure.  Much love, friend.
