Hi, it's been a while- thoughts/prayer request.

Buona Fortuna

i haven't been on here in a long while but I remember this being a place of support and care-  and I just need to type out this THING that's going on.

My son has strabismus - which is/ was a simple lazy eye. DS is scheduled for surgery to fix this in July.  He also has a big azz head (98%)-

Because of the combination we went in for a "routine MRI" to rule out hydrocephaly- I even tried to talk the doctor out of ordering it, since both ophthalmologists  I have seen agreed it wasn't really necessary. The MRI was just a quick one- done without sedation even.  It took less than 10 minutes to do.  The result is something I still am having a hard time processing.   

They found a "mass" on his brain stem.  This "mass" has nothing to do with his eye or his head size.   We go in tomorrow to meet with a neuro-oncologist and a neurosurgeon.

 I'm still numb- and---- I'm just lost.  I'm praying and hoping that we do a repeat MRI and whatever they saw tonight is gone.  I don't know what to do.

I'm asking for thoughts, prayers, vibes, what ever you may have to send Liam's way.   Even if it's for the few seconds that you took to read this- anything may help.  

Thanks.

Oh my goodness. I am so incredibly sorry that you and your family are enduring this.

I truly hope that things go as well as possible, and I am thankful for you that the doctor ordered the MRI. Now you at least know about it and can move forward.

Thoughts and prayers for everyone involved.

Oh my gosh. Buona, you guys are in my prayers. You will make it through this, whatever it is. You're strong, beautiful, and love will pull you through it. 

KUP. FX for Liam!

This is every moms worst nightmare and I'm so sorry you're going through it. I'll keep you and your little one in my thoughts. Please let us know if there is anything we can do, we're here for you.

CrazyDaisy8

I am so very sorry that this is happening to your son. I will keep you in my thoughts today and hope for the very best results in the repeat MRI. The bright side is that the doctor followed his gut feeling and went ahead with the original MRI and this is found now. My heart goes out to your family.

mamahawk12

Oh my gosh. I cannot even fathom what you are going through. In reality, it's a blessing the other doctor pushed for the MRI! I will be saying an extra prayer for Liam that this mass is either nothing (and it doesn't show up on the next scan) or that it is completely benign. Please keep us updated - we are here for you!!

Megispreg

I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking of you and your family.
