I deeply apologize if this is not allowed but I am throwing all caution to the wind. I had an experience that lead me to Christ. It was the greatest decision of my life. It was the same experience that set me searching based on certain behaviors for understanding and that led me to Q and to this board. I have kept my head down for years. Not so much from fear but more from situations that have kept me too busy to think of anything else. I am so grateful for this board and the fellowship here. I have also learned a great deal. I feel terrible asking for more but I am desperate. I need prayer. I also need minds sharper than mine. I am in a battle not for my life but my child’s. For years I have been fighting and I am so very tired. Pediatric cancer is a monster and we have no savings left no doctors with the knowledge left and now there is yet another new and painful mystery ailment. Now I need to go to yet another new hospital where I have to meet round after round of doctors. We have had such horrible experiences that just the idea of another hospital makes me nauseous. I feel like I am walking this tightrope. I have to give them enough information to help them figure out what to do or test to order but if I don’t address them just right we will be blown off. Twice I didn’t handle that right and twice we had to be life flighted when it wasn’t “me overacting “ it is so hard. My only comfort is knowing that at the end of the day it is in my Lords hands. Yet I am literally trembling as I organize all the paperwork and pack and check meds. Please please pray for us. The pain is tremendous and with a compromised liver my options are limited. We have been pressured so hard to transition to palliative care but that is not something he is ready for and in truth neither am I. He doesn’t want a painless death he wants to live!!!! We are very much in the crosshairs because of my refusal of the clot shot and I suspect there is something in the doctors notes because that was when everything changed. Please please pray we get breakthrough. His cancer is well managed but they still push palliative care. I am alone and I am exhausted and I can’t do it anymore but I will because I can’t NOT fight for him. I have seen God deliver so many times and my faith in him is strong but my faith in our medical system is completely broken.
I can’t do this alone

Faith in God. I know this is tough to say, but not everyone prays for the same thing. What does your son want? He might be tired of it all. Love your child with all your heart
Thank you. So often he gets lost in all this and it means a lot that he is seen. I am pretty much letting him make most of the decisions now. I try to be his advocate and navigator while letting him decide for himself. THAT has been tough because of course I want to move heaven and earth to heal him. However beyond this is a life where he has the health consequences and the life long sense of himself. Unless he has been pressured by other adults he is good at weighing all factors and choosing a course.So I try and give him facts and options. He wants to get better and get a driver's license and fix up a car with his Grandpa and he desperately wants to meet a girl and have a farm and children and more than anything he wants to experience life. We have been in this fight for 6 years and life has passed him by. Friends have moved on and he has watched their lives from the sidelines. His faith took a terrible hit for a time because he assumed he must have done something to deserve this. We had an encounter with someone ( my son swears it was an actual angel disguised as a janitor) who told him " This is a test for your testimony" since then he is once again seeking a walk with God. He is such a fighter he refuses to give up. That is crap part of all this. He has a decent chance to beat this and it seems the medical community wants to push the pain meds that will speed up the liver destruction instead of helping the source problem.
I'll bet he was an angel. I have a friend that says Jesus came to him to call him out of sin (he was a wizard and into black magic). He asked if I ever had a vision and I explained that I didn't need one to believe. The angel came to your son to make his calling sure
