I Love My Children

Need to vent about my child's recent medical issues. Have to let it out or I think I will lose my mind and no one's around to listen. He's 15 and was finally diagnosed with a neurological disorder after years of dealing with seizures and other problems. He's also shown signs of endocrine issues. My heart is broken and I have no clue as to how to process this. Feel helpless.

I am really sorry to hear this, as a dad I can relate.
Stupid question: did the experts suggest a treatment?

@elbowsbehind right now they are trying to raise his sodium levels to stabilize him. We see the doctor on Tuesday and follow up with neurologist. I'm thinking that's where a long term plan will be put in place as the diagnosis was given at the hospital after a visit to the ER where he had to be transferred to Children's Hospital. It's the holiday weekend making the wait even worse.

@TimeStandingStill I hope they will find a good solution. Hang on.
