Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[WVstruttin]

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.

So sorry to hear this caj, you and your family are in our prayers

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.

you vent all you want we are all hear for support.

Vent as much as you need to. It just sucks that they didn't catch it when the symptoms first start. don't get me going on Doctors that don't listen to their patients.
what is the prognosis? will they operate?

We are waiting on an MRI appointment, but it will definitely by surgery. We are hoping for arthroscopic which is done through the nose and is much less invasive. It will depend upon what all is involved and how large the tumor is. I will update you guys as soon as we get some results. He is hoping that they will do the surgery over spring break which is the week of the 18th. I don't want to bring him down so I didn't tell him that we probably can't schedule brain surgery that quickly. He is just thinking about all the class he will have to miss instead of getting better. In his major just missing one day in upper level classes is a huge issue.
