Hi Traci

As a 52 year old woman who has gone through this for the past year I can bgo by my experience. I was almost permanetly disabled before they finally found mine. I had the angio and surgery. I walk with a walker and have bladder incontinence all the time. I will pray that things go well for your son. From the sounds of things he is a fighter so I am sure he will be ok. A positive attitude is what has helped me through this ordeal. I may never walk again without a walker or the use of a wheelchair but I am not totally paralayzed and in a wheelchair permantly so I take each day as it comes. I am numb from just below my waist and my legs ache all the time but I do not dwell on it and just take it as it one day at a time. My feet are also numb a lot of the time and my legs feel heavy. I am blessed to have a very loving husband that sees to it that I get out ( since I have also lost the ability to drive and a lot of my independence) and a supportive family. I too get tired very easily. Just keep smiling and praying and be glad that you caught it when you did and that they are keeping a eye on things. He is a child and they bounce back and take things in stride. So be happy and smile and enjoy each day. Take care. ((HUGS))
