And so we went to appointments every 6 months or so. They did this test and that test and poked him for blood labs and ran tests that were very uncomfortable. One particular test is called a VCUG. They just couldn't get the catheter inside him without him screaming out in horrible pain. They tried over and over and over and over again. All this while I stood to the side in silent agony. Finally, they decided to call the Urologist to see what they should do since they couldn't cath him. The Urologist told them to forget the test so they let him go and he went straight to my arms, in safety finally. That was a BIG eye opener about the trauma hospitals are accustomed to causing their patients. This is especially so when we received the insurance statement that showed how the hospital charged our insurance for the VCUG they never even did.
So our son began to have night terrors - waking and wandering the house with great shrieks of terror. We were at a loss at what to do but we knew the cause. This began a 2 year campaign in which we had him sleep in our room every night. He didn't ever have another night terror. But the VCUG fiasco, doctors telling us one thing and then doing another and a Nephrologist telling us to shut our mouths and let him be the doctor all led us to pull him from the system for a while. This did him the most good and he was able to live as a normal boy for many years. We don't suggest everybody just pull their children from the medical system!! If we knew where to take him back then we would have started where we have now ended the journey but we didn't know any better. Every family has their own unique situation. After doing our research and knowing his condition so well, we knew it would do him good to be away from it all for a while.....
It has been a long time since there was a post put up. It has been discouraging, not having any interest out there. There will need to be a great awakening out there before a blog like this will become popular! We will come back periodically and will check to see if there are any new members..... and then we will continue our story and hope others will contribute theirs too. God bless you!
One must ask why does the prevailing spirit of our age attack some Christian families and in particular, families with children in need of medical care?
Since the family is the moral unit of society, it follows that the characteristics of society in any given community are the sum of the special characteristics of the families that go to form said community. If, then, the community as a whole manifests respect for God's Truth and the laws of morality, the cause of this respect can surely be found in the bosom of the family. When, on the contrary, religion has lost its influence around the hearthstone, then irreligion will walk abroad in all its ghastliness, leading the way to sensuality and social rottenness.
It is beyond reasonable question that we live in a deeply irreligious age, and it is just as true that this sad fact has its cause in the irreligious family. So when a prevailing irrelgious society faces a strong family of faith it is no wonder that faithful family will be ...
In southern Florida we found the solace we were looking for. Rejected by a presumptuous and self seeking doctor in Pediatric Nephrology at the Mayo Clinic, we quickly went to work searching for a place for our child. A place that would not force the Covid shot or the HPV shot. The HPV shot is a sort of "baptism" into a life of impurity. What sick minds we are dealing with when we walk into the office of a "doctor" promoting such things! The problem is they expect us to condescend to them - to give up our privileged right of authority over our children and replace it with their confounded minds. Without Christ in their lives they are not able to distinguish black from white yet we are expected to succumb to their whims!? In reality, when a Christian approaches such a situation he is superior to them but expected to act contrariwise. This is an impossible situation. A prudent parent will quietly and carefully pull themselves away from such a mess.
The Latino culture is truly one of ...
