My nightmare is true.
I took Mark to the docs yesterday about his back pain and it's not good.
The doc looked at him, did the usual tests, and he has scoliosis.
He has a definite rib hump.
I am so so upset right now.
I don't even want to talk about it, I'm just too upset about it all.

Kat, I echo the sentiments above; I am so, so sorry. I hope that since they seem to be catching it relatively early, your son can have the full benefit of any treatment they offer. I know how difficult this must be for you - more so than most parents, because you know exactly what might lie ahead for him.

Fuck, Kat, I'm so sorry! At least you caught it early and things are much better than they were back when you were diagnosed, so just try to focus on those small favors. We're all here when you're ready to rage!

Kat,
I haven't left a msg yet because I am just so sorry. I didn't want us to have this in common. You remember I told you how my neck is seriously messed up from the car accident I had as a teen and falling down the stairs and landing on my back. I told you that my mom talks me down because she has chronic pain and knows how I feel. She talked to her doctor about it and he said from my results I could get paralyzed from a simple fender bender. This was her worst nightmare too. She was so upset when she found out I was in the accident then to have it snowball into what it has....she never wanted this for me. She listens to me cry though. She knows how I feel. She is there for me. I would be so lost without her. I have called her at two in the morning sitting under a blanket in my living room crying because I hadn't slept in so long from the pain. I can tell you that despite my bad luck I am fortunate to have a mom that understands. The rest of the family cannot and will not. She never tells me to suck it up and that I am being a baby. She knows how I hurt and she is the biggest comfort I can have. You will be that comfort to your son. I know that. You three are a tight knit family and you will be there for each other through everything.
