Prayers for my son

[Blackwater]

For quite a few years now, my son has been having problems with pains in his stomach. He's been to every hospital from Emory in Atlanta to the Mayo clinic in Jacksonville, and has not found a good diagnosis yet. He's rather disheartened, and it surely keeps him from doing a lot of things he'd do without the pain and the fatigue it generates. I am confident that somewhere, someone can give him an accurate diagnosis, and find some help. I also know Christ can cure him simply by willing it be done. He feels bad often because he doesn't always have the energy to take his boys fishing, etc. like they love to do, and he loves to do with them. It doesn't matter to me how he's cured, whether it's through the docs and the Lord's blessings, or just the Lord's blessing alone. I just pray for his healing. This has been going on for about 10 years now, and he's spent a lot of money trying things, but nothing has worked very well at all so far.

So, I'm appealing to you fine men to intercede on his behalf. He's a great guy, and I'm SO proud of him and his whole family. He's the only son I have and ever will have, so that makes it even more dear to me. Thank you for any prayers you'll render on this good man's behalf.

Blackwater, Celiac's disease?

[Teddy (punchie)]

HI Blackwater Praying for you all. What are the other symptoms he has?

[edler7]

Prayers that your son finds help and recovery.

[buckwheatpaul]

Father, As I walk with You today, I am praying that You send Blackwater's son to the right doctor to properly diagnose his illness. Please give that physician the wisdom to be able to then treat him. Please comfort and take all fear and concerns from Blackwater's son, Blackwater, and their family. Father, all is possible through You and I know that we ask for a lot of healing in our prayers to You; but we turn to You to give You all the praise and glory. In Your Name I pray. Amen

[Blackwater]

Thank you, gentlemen. I sincerely appreciate your prayers.

As to Celiac's disease, he's explored that and tried to treat it that way, but with no results. Other symptoms are lethargy, varying in degree over time. He's tried all sorts of diets, had his gall bladder removed, and explored at least a dozen possible diagnoses, all with no results. He's also investigated a very rare disease that occurs rarely in people of Scots descent, and that led nowhere.

I think the biggest thing he's up against, so far as the medical treatment goes, is the simple fact that with modern medicine, if you have something really rare or that they're not trained to treat commonly, they can't afford to let you occupy as much of their mental efforts as a real diagnosis may require. Even docs have limited knowledge, experience and abilities, and they keep schedules that most of us would find extremely gruelling. It's no picnic being a doctor, and today, most folks come to them thinking they're in some sort of express lane or at Wal Mart or Burger King where you can "have it your way." They aren't magicians and can't wave a magic wand and bring about a healing just because we want and need one. They have to work at it and figure it all out, and decide the best path of action for treatment/cure.

My son has a business that doesn't demand too much in the way or pressure, but he has to keep steadily busy, and it gets pretty gruelling sometimes. The boys help him a lot, which is good for both them and him. It's just a really heavy burden, and not knowing really how serious it might be or how it might impact his future and future health is also a big concern. He's a good son and Dad and husband and he just feels a need to try to be the best in all those things he can be. And he needs to shed this "whatever" to do the things he really wants to do for them.

Again, thank you for your prayers. I know you guys stand in good with God, and I know your words and prayers get much higher than the ceiling when you pray. I cannot thank you enough, but please know it's really appreciated.

I have to confess, you guys bring a tear to my eye. Thanks. This is my only son and the only one I'll ever have, so it means a great deal to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This has been a very long standing problem for him now, and I just KNOW there's some way out for him. Thank you. What you're doing matters.

[spotsboss]

Blackwater, one thing your son has going for him is a great Dad. We can begin our prayers with thanks for that.

[Der Gebirgsjager]

Done.

[Blackwater]

I don't know about that, Spotsboss, but I always tried. I've known people who came from unthinkably bad childhoods who turned out to be just plain golden in their adult lives, so it's not always the Dads or Moms. Some just turn out good in spite of us. But I always tried, and I gave him my TIME when he was growing up. I wouldn't do all the schmoozing and "networking" that was so popularized then, so I missed some opportunities, I guess. But he came up right. Whether it's due to me or his own motivations we can't know, but I'm certainly very proud of him. All I've ever really wanted of him was that he be a good man, who made good choices in this world, found a really great woman and some great kids, and he's done all of those, and VERY well, to boot. I couldn't be prouder of him. Early on in middle and high school, he gravitated toward a really good group of other kids, and they've been his life long friends. He's acquired new ones to boot, and for him, friendship is more than just a word, it's a duty. His principles are as solid as granite rock.

Nothing could be more humbling and make a man more thankful than this - to have a son like him, and a family like his. It's the most humbling thing I know. And to see him fighting a ghost he can't identify or see, really pulls on a man's heartstrings. Thanks to you all from the bottom of my heart. I know there's something that can be done. It's finding it that's so frustrating for him and concerning for me. You guys are the greatest. You truly are.
