Last night my son was complaining about burning in his throat and chest, so we decided to take him to the Dr today. They are leaning towards acid reflux. This is not something we wanted to hear because of his family history. His real father died of colon cancer, his aunt has a hiatal hernia and thyroid cancer. Other members of that family have cancer on the father's side. On Lisa's side, she has I.B.S. and her bother ( Jonny's uncle ) has Crone's disease.

So now my boy is on Prilosec twice a day. I know he isnt my biological son, but it hurts knowing that something could be wrong with him and what could be in store for him down the line.

I just wanted to let you everyone know what was going on in case you all notice that i am a bit withdrawn.

 

Sorry to read the news about your son, JJ.

We will keep him in our Prayers.

 

Sry to hear about his issues, Is it true a radiator flush will cure the acid reflux? j/k

 

JJ, i am very sad to hear about you son jonny! i know your a very proud and wonderful father to him! please be positive, things will get better for him! take care! we all will be here for you!! take care JJ

 

JJ, sorry to hear that. I hate hearing about kids having medical problems...I mean, I hate hearing about anyone having medical issues, but it especially sucks to hear about young kids. I hope that everything works out for Johnny, and i'm sure it will. Just keep your head up man! You MCF fam is here if you need us!

 

JJ, a PM with more detail is on it's way to ya.

You're a great guy, and love your family very much. It's natural for people to have those thoughts running through your mind in times like these.

I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers, and hope for the best. That sucks when a child is sick.

Please keep us updated on Jonny's progress.

 

Thanks everyone for positive posts and the prayers. Jonny is taking this better then Lisa and I ( what can i say, i'm a softy when it comes to him lol ).

He has a Dr's appointment next week and we will find out more then.

Again, thank you all for caring so much.


That might work. LOL

 

jj sorry to hear the news....i would say he's in my prayers but im not a religious man...so he's in my thoughts...he'll be in the wiffy's prayers

 

JJ, I'm so sorry to hear about your son. But it's good that you are getting it checked out now. I have been living with Acid Reflux and Crohn's Disease for about 10 years now and I'm doing good. Don't get discouraged, I know it's hard with all the tests that might have to be done, but you will be relieved to get to the bottom of the problem so your son gets the right treatment.
