Asking for prayer for my son.... please

[TruckDriver]

I never ask this of anyone as I am not really religious. But I feel a little prayer and thoughts can help. So, please bare with me. My youngest, who will be 7 on Dec. 11th, is going deaf, and the doctors don't know why. They noticed that this August when he started school. He went through a hearing test, which showed it was so. Well, today, he went to a specialist, and he can not find anything wrong either. He wants Chris to have a cat scan now. He also doesn't think it will be reversable, and that he is now legally deaf in his right ear, and only 50% in his left ear. The doctor said Chris will have to wear ear plugs in anyplace that may have loud noises now in attempt to save what little hearing he has left. He has been though so much in his young life already, he doesn't need this either. I'm scared for him. A little more about Chris, he was born premature, born 7 weeks early. Was in the hospital for 31 days after he was born with meningitis, jaundice, ammonia. Had to have tubes put in his ears for a while, which doesn't have anything to do with his hearing problems the doc said. He has a weak immune system, he has had a rare form of Tuberculosis that is in the dirt we walk on every day, but most people are immune to. Left a permanent scar on his left cheek. The worst part, is neither me or my ex have any insurance to make this go easier. I am just so tired of him going through this crap. He doesn't deserve this. I'm really down right now.

The Maker knows best what we need.  We are praying for you too.  Keep your chin up.

I'm praying for Chris, you and your ex.  You could all use a special blessing.  Medical miracles are happening everyday, and my hope is that one will soon be able to help Chris.

I am a pediatric nurse and I see so many children who are suffering and it just breaks my heart. I find that kids are way tougher than us older folks though and can put up with so much more. Not only will I pray for you, your son, and your ex, but will also talk to the pediatrician I work for and see if she has any insight. She's a great doc. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. "Be strong in the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart."
Blessings and prayers to you and yours,
-Susan

You people are the best. I hope I someday get to meet you guys and thank you personally I just want his misfortunes to end.  I can't even say how much this means to me. I need to go wipe the tears out of my eyes now.

I saw on the news alot of people have their hearing restored with the thing Rush Limbaugh has on his ear. There's always possabilities out there. Hang in there.

[Ponch ®]

Hope things turn out ok.

In the meantime, let us know if we can help in any way.

[Nacho-RT74]

Damn bad news buddy... But good news if we can say so is that I'M IN with prayers. One more from Venezuela buddy, and send to your son a big HUG from here.

Shame you are not here... I can say and I'm pretty sure Venezuelan Doctors are some of the best of the world.

[derailed]

Our thoughts go out from my family to yours DCG. I hope things work out for your son, hopefully with todays technology there is some kind of surgery he can have to help restore his hearing.

[472 R/T SE]

DCG, I'm very sorry to hear this.  If there's any thing I can do or you just need someone to rant at, feel free to PM me.

My wife and I will send prayer's to Chris and yours. 

I can attest to the power of prayer.

Again, thanks a lot guys. I can't say it enough how much this means to me. I will keep you guy updated on things, although it might be slow going.

I know that is very hard to watch our kids when they are suffering. Hold you head up because now your son looks to you for strength. It's hard to do this sometimes but he needs you now. My families prayers are with you and your son.
