Macfive, if this is in the wrong location, I apologize.
Everyone. My son has been sick for some time now....about 6 weeks. We took him to the doctor 4 times, and got 4 different diagnoses. Because his symptoms were mild (nausea, aches and pains), there was little need for great alarm. However, on Friday, I took him again, and this time blood work was done, and the doctor said he likely had mononucleosis. Then Sunday morning, we noticed swelling in his upper abdomen. This time, a CT scan was done, which revealed a large tumor. The doctors do not yet know if it is emanating from the kidney or liver. However, he has said that it is most likely malignant. I don't suppose I have to tell you how wrecked I am over this. I would only ask for your prayers for him. His name is Aaron, and he is 9. I ask this humbly and in earnest. Thank you.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain

We will keep Aaron before the Lord, my friend. Please keep us updated as to how he is progressing. Our Navajo churches will put him on their prayer lists.
Take care and Lord bless.

I, too shall keep Aaron and your family in prayer. I'll also add his name to our prayer e-mail list so we can have many people keep him in their prayers before God for healing.
My prayers are also for you, that God grant you and your family peace and clarity of mind during the coming days.
You, your son and family are in my thoughts. I wish to give you as much strength and support as you need for the difficult journey ahead. We all walk the difficult roads through life, just a matter of when they arrive at our feet. We stride forward and face the challenges head on. It is because of our friends and family that we know we do not journey alone on that road.
Aaron will not be alone, he has you and your wife...and all of us behind him as he fights the battle ahead. Keep strong my friend....

Words fail me but my heart goes out to you. Nothing worse than to see your kid that way unable to take this load away from him. Aaron will be in my prayers as well as you and your family.

No need to worry about a place for such a message my friend. You take care of your son. He will be in our family's prayers as well as you and your family.
If there is anything we can do you let us know. We are all pulling for Aaron.
As far apart as you and I might be, that aside, of course he is in my thoughts and prayers! We may not see eye to eye, but we're STILL family! Take heart my friend!
