This is going out to many groups, so please, if you see it more than once I
apologize. In 2007 I graduated 2 boys, one mine and the other a borrowed
son. Many of you will remember the story of my borrowed son. The boy that
had tears in his eyes when I gave him cards that came from all of you. He
never had anyone care about him and to have strangers send cards and well
wishes left him in awe. He asked me how someone could care enough to send
someone they didn't know a card. He learned about compassion and caring that
day and that there was some in the world and that maybe he was worth
something to someone, even if they didn't know him. He learned life didn't
always have to be ugly and hurtful. I love that boy and as time progressed
he became my son-in-law. Lester and my daughter Brittany have been married 4
years and have a beautiful little boy that's 3 now. He really loves his
daddy and the year that daddy spent in Kuwait was hard for all of them.
Lester's time is almost done with the service and they were looking forward
to coming home in March, having a few more children and starting a ranch.
When Lester came back from Kuwait his left arm would go numb off and on.
Doctors told him he had pinched a nerve. No cause for alarm. A couple months
later his left leg started going numb. Doctors figured it was a back strain
from lifting too much weight while exercising. His neck is now involved
also. Today my daughter called me crying and to tell me that the doctor's
after seeing his spinal MRI's taken a month apart are pretty certain that at
25, he has MS. My daughter told me today that his ability to find the words
to formulate a sentence and carry on a conversation has rapidly deteriorated
in 3-4 months and he doesn't socialize with anyone now. He gets so
frustrated with not being able to put his thoughts into words. He is scared,
sad and depressed.
Today he is scheduling an MRI on his brain and an appointment with the
neurologist. Even though his symptoms are advancing rapidly and every
indication is there to have lesions on his brain, I pray they find nothing
in the scan and that the numbness in his arm and leg disappears and leaves
the doctors wondering what happened.
I sit here feeling numb and helpless and all I can think is why, why, why,
why. Hasn't he been through enough?
I know prayer can move mountains and that's what I'm asking for. Please add
Lester Sanderson to every prayer list, every prayer group and every prayer
thought or spoken.
Humbly,
Sharon
