A sad situation

Hello

For those of you who don't know, I have had a 2nd cousin at Childrens Mercy Hospital in Ohio for the past few months. He has been in ICU during this entire time. Every specialist has been brought in and they do not know what is wrong with him. He has a shunt in his head to drain fluids, they have run more tests than i can imagine. The docotors still have no idea what is wrong with him. His parents and brothers are beside themselves with worry, stress and trying to grasp why their son is going through this. He has lost a lot of motor function and still the doctors do not know what is wrong. They at first were thinking mad cow disease, that has been ruled out and they have even tested him for rabies. Nothing - everything comes back clean, but he is still failing. I have been praying for him and his family.

He is a 17 year old senior in high school. Just a normal teenager, with friends, a job and looking forward to graduating from high school. It make you want to grab your own kids, tell them you love them and hug them once more. Life can be so unpredictable.

Hope everyone has a good day. If you read this, please put him in your prayers.
