Update on my son Alex...Need more prayers!!! PLEASE!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LuvMySissy · 02-05-2009, 05:19 PM

Maria - you must be terrified right now!!!! I've not stopped praying for little Alex. Hopefully, the neurosurgeon will know exactly what Alex needs and the "not horrible" means they can take care of it and you will soon be able to put all this behind both of you. I pray the night passes quickly so you can get the answers you've been waiting for.

sandshara · 02-05-2009, 06:09 PM

Maria ~i too pray for yourAlex and for your reassurance that it will be okay. The unknow is so hard to deal with, but remember God will hold your hand through anything. I am praying for your much needed rest and for your baby.

Maria, Though I have not posted much on your thread about Alex, I have checked in on it frequently to stay aware of your updates. I can only imagine the fear you are feeling for Alex, and agree with other posters in feeling that the doctor(s) are lacking poorly in the personal aspect of the case. Little Alex is NOT just "a patient, or "a case", he is a baby and your son and you deserve to be kept informed as to what is going on. Even just a little information and/or a call from the doctor(s) (rather than the other way around) would be better than nothing at all, leaving you to sit and worry.
I am keeping you and Alex in my thoughts and my prayers.
Bless you and hugs...............

Oh Maria - We all know there is nothing closer to a mother's heart than her child - especially when the child is ill. You and Alex are both in my prayers.

I am so sorry for the inconsiderate and unprofessional way you were treated - there is no excuse for that kind of a lack of compassion. I agree with you wholeheartedly - it would be terrifying to hear that there are 7 specialists working on my child's case - I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now. I will keep praying and holding on to the "not horrible" words.

I know it goes without saying that you will keep us updated - thank you for that!

Booboo'smommy · 02-06-2009, 12:41 AM

Thank you everyone so much...well it's morning here 08:34 and my hubby just left the house to drop Alex at the nursery... I am frightened to even let him go there now, because I am not with him...

When I spoke yesterday with the Doc, he said that he will try to have the new Doc. call me that evening but if not, he will call me first thing in the morning...But I just knew that he won't call me, b/c I know people get wrapped up in their work and sometimes forget things( I am one of those people) but I am just soooooooo worried and frustrated...

Here in the UK altho' they are trying to get you in to see a specialist as fast as they can, usually to get an appointment takes about three months... After thinking about it all night last night...i thought that if they took such a long time to come back to me(even if I was the one chasing them) there must be something that can actually be fixed...well, thinking they wouldn't take so long after they've seen their MRI scan results if it was something that they would have had to fix right now... But in the same time I just can't stop worrying about what it's WRONG... I will give the Doc another 15 min while I take a shower and then i will call them myself...
I don't know if so many specialists are needed to discuss every single case or not but that worries me so much....
I am tired and dissapointed with the system.......and I just want my questions answered!!!

Booboo'smommy · 02-06-2009, 12:46 AM

Will update when I have some news!

Booboo'smommy · 02-06-2009, 01:25 AM

The Doctor I need to speak to is not in yet but they have assured me that he will call me as soon as he gets in...so let's see

saphire · 02-06-2009, 01:27 AM

Maria, I am so sorry you are going through all of this.
Sometimes doctors think they are gods.... I know that sounds mean, but I have encountered some of those here too in South Africa, I think they have lost the plot. I think they forget that behind the patient is a mother/father/ husband/ wife that is worried sick!

I think you need to pester the new Dr. and get some answers. I'm pretty sure your health must be suffering due to all the stress. Hang in there Maria, I am rooting for you and saying many prayers for Alex!

Thank you so much, I agree with you that sometimes Dr. forget that they are not only dealing with a case that needs solving but with a PERSON that is very worried....( to put it lightly)...

Believe it or not I have lost 5 kg in the course of 11 days...that is a lot of weight loss(which I don't mind as I can now fit into my wedding dress)....But I just wish it wouldn't have come to this for me to loose weight.

I have so much on my mind and to be honest I don't even know what direction to turn to!!! Look at me, I sound just like a cry baby!!! I am so sorry...I know that in this world are A LOT more people that have really good reasons to feel down, because they suffer starvation or they don't have any clean watter to drink, or are very sick...and here I am complaining about my life...God forgive me, but it just seems like I can't even think straight!!! Thank you so much for your support!

IluvLucy · 02-06-2009, 04:30 AM

Oh, Maria! There are many, many prayers going up for your precious Alex, mine included.

That Dr should never have left you hanging like that! Please don't assume the worst though I know it is hard not to.

Lord, my heart hurts for you..................

AshasMom · 02-06-2009, 04:57 AM

Many, many prayers for you and Alex that God will give you the strength you need and that Alex will be in the best of care and healed quickly.
