Amazing Alex

This is a different kind-o-kid.

We haven't talked with Alex, yet about what is going on in his head.

But, that has not stopped this young man from learning more for himself.

Last Sunday, I was helping him with this Pre-Algebra homework and he just stated, "Mom, they sure are taking a long time to get my results from the MRI."

I didn't have the heart to tell him what we know and what has been suggested to help him.

I just replied, shamelessly, "Yes they are."

But he surprised me, with what he did next.

Alex got up and was looking through a pile of books and folders he has on his dresser and said, "I've been researching my disorder, mom, and I know this is genetic or I could be a new mutation." He laughed outloud as he said the last part. "This also says, that to help stop the seizures, surgery is recommended.  Mom, I really want the seizures to go away. I am willing to have the surgery, if we get the results back.  I'm really okay with it." 

I just stared at my young man. 

It was as if Heavenly Father was speaking through him to my heart. 

It's okay.  It's going to be okay.

Please don't think I'm crazy.

I am open to however, or whoever, or whatever venue God wants to get to me.

For me, there is no better way, then through the voice and heart of child, especially my own.

I am so grateful for who this young man is.  He is a great teach to me.

This weekend is Fast Sunday.  I would ask you to fast (prayerfully going without two consecutive meals as an offering to Heavenly Father) for my boy.  It is also my birthday on Monday, so that would be an awesome gift if all my friends would fast for the health of our son and peace & comfort for our family.
