[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 668395, member: 19245"] Copa, I am not trying to avoid your point. You are trying to emotionally face your son's declining health. I hear you. I understand why you are trying to face it. When faced with my brain tumor, the prognosis was not all rosy. I planned for every possible bad outcome. Every one. Death, mentally deficicient, stoke, right-sided paralysis, and loss of memory. All of these outcomes were brought up by the surgical team. I planned for all of them. Then, and only then, could I relax. Your are trying to face a possible outcome. No one knows right now. Yes, your son is going to probably get worse without help down the road. We do not know what the future holds. I have known men, who put off treating something, and then they, finally on their own get help. When they feel a change or when they feel they want to go. My second husband's life was saved by yours truly. The same man who never cared about my health. He was having extreme pain on one side. I pressed down hard and when I let go...He had extreme pain. I had read about appendicitis. I called a hospital...they told me to get him in fast. He had no medical coverage yet...newly married. (I later got him covered retroactive.) Anyway , he kept telling at me to leave him alone...He just had the flu. I finally said that you had better let me rake you in NOW or you will have 4 burly,expensive paramedics here soon. He complied. He was cheap! He got there just in time. The doctor said a few minutes later... and my new husband would have been dead. We do not know what he will chose to do or when. His fear of dying might override his fear of possible disasters or conspiracies. Go to a support group for parents with his liver disease. They could have insight into how to gently guide, ...or forcefully compel, him to go for treatment. Copa, he is truly blessed to have your as his mother...and he knows it! It would not change that...remember? [/QUOTE]
