My son...has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
I don't care how many assholes comment negatively on this, I don't care what negative attention this receives, I feel it's well worth posting. I know at least one or two people here will be kind enough to care, and any positive comment, i'll be truly grateful for.
Yesterday at about one o'clock my girlfriend, mother, and I took our now eight week old son to the emergency room. He couldn't keep food down, was very pale, lethargic, and would do nothing but cry when he was actually able to stay awake...first the CAT scan revealed a heavy bleed, later that day he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He's currently in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) under constant watch. The MRI and MRA tests revealed the tumor is the size of a lemon, has been there since birth, and has shown signs of being malignant/cancerous. It turns out the sudden reaction was the result of hemorrhage.
So...any well wishes, any positive comment, I don't care who it's from. I'll appreciate it and be thankful for the rest of my life. I doubt i'll be on here very much at all aside from maybe once or twice to see what you guys have to say, but that'll probably be it...goodnight, everyone. And again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

I'm sorry if i'm being too much, and I know I did an update very late last night, but I feel like sharing this for anyone who's been keeping tags who could use some extra good news...it helped cheer me up a lot today. :) Today he's been stable, they started giving him a little bit of a stronger pain medication to supplement his regular dose of tylenol so he'll be more comfortable. His mother and I were able to feed him, hold him, and change him more today. We're getting more used to doing it while he's still hooked up to the monitors and machines. And both times when he started getting sleepy I read him stories from a story book I bought for him during his stay in the hospital...for the last one it almost seemed like he'd try to wake himself up a little bit just to hear the rest of the story, but since he ended up passing out before I finished it, I promised him i'd finish it when I could. And also earlier when I was talking to him and petting his cheek when he was calm in bed, the nurse had to come check his eyes. I was on one side, her the other. She got the one she could, but couldn't get the other with how he was turned. He kept staring at me and couldn't get him to turn his head to her, so we switched sides. I didn't say a word the whole time, but he still knew and turned his head toward me again. We ended up having to stay on the same side of the bed for her to be able to check him...I can tell he misses me when i'm not there. Anytime he's fussy and I interact with him, he calms right down...I even saw a little smile one time when he was dozing off today.
