Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

wow this is a slow day I put chocolates up and no one took them

I am out of swaps for the week, and have no wildcards.

Everyone,

I need to ask that for right now until further notice that no one ship any more eggs to me. My son has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease which is caused by a tumor on the pituitary. We are waiting to get in for an MRI to see how bad it is. It should have been caught 8 years ago when I first starting taking him to the doctor for his weight, but all they saw was a "fat" kid and said he needed to go on a diet and get more exercise. They didn't listen when I said he didn't eat junk food, drink sodas or even consume that many calories. I knew differently because this was a kid that had always been tall and light. He was always 98 percentile on height and about 25 percentile on his weight through his early years. Unfortunately we moved away from his pediatrician who would have noticed the difference. He is now 21 only 5' 4", and finally diagnosed after gaining 150 lbs in about a year and a half.

I will send all my swaps but until I know what is going to happen and how long the recovery is going to be I don't want to have to deal with brooder chicks after the ones I have coming in right now.

Crystal

So sorry Crystal! Prayers for you!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am so sorry we will pray for your son and you all. I hope things get better soon. If you need anything let us know. We are not just chicken friends.[/FONT]

Thanks, everyone. It is just really hitting me now. I'm sitting at work holding back tears as well as I can. He is in his last semester of college as a computer engineer, had job interviews scheduled, and has worked his tail off to graduate in 4 years as a 21 year old and maintained a 3.3 GPA in a TOUGH major. He is taking it hard. I have been playing the upbeat, it will be OK cheerleader in front of him and his dad. I have to believe it will be OK. Please forgive me if I come on and vent every once in a while during this process.

I gifted some of my wildcards and used the others. I'd be claiming them otherwise as I'm thinking about project choco Faverolle!
