[quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't read the responses and don't care to. I can understand your disappointment a bit - my older son is similar to yours. I was really athletic and my son...isn't. To put it mildly. So I get you, I really do.

About 3 months ago he developed a tremor in his hand/arm. We have now had 2 MRIs, a brain x-ray, an EEG, more bloodwork than I can count, and 2 months of waiting on pins and needles to find out if my kid is dying of some horrible neurological condition, or if he "just" has a tremor, or if it was a passing fluke. We've also had endocrinologist, geneticist, and opthamologist appointments. Waiting on all of those results too.

Nothing will put your life in perspective better than watching your 8 year-old son set his jaw and bravely step back into another MRI machine when he sobbed for half an hour after he got out of the first one. Nothing will put your life in perspective more than sitting in the waiting room at the neurologist and feeling so horrible for the kids with these terrible conditions, and also feeling like a monster for just praying that you won't have to watch your own child suffer that way. I go to bed at night wondering if we get to keep our son, or if he will be taken from us.

Your issues are in the "normal" world and I'll be the first to say I understand your disappointment. I do. But in the range of things that can go "wrong" with your child, this is something you all can live with (literally and figuratively). Go give him a hug. :-)[/quote]
