Some here know...some don't, but my son has a very rare and severe bleeding disorder. He has been in and out of the hospital his entire life and many of y'all have walked through each stay with us. My wife and I typically can take care of his issues at home. Unfortunately, we have been chasing a severe knee bleed the last 10+ days and the pain and continued swelling has once again led us to another hospital stay. He is beginning to show some beginning signs of compartment syndrome in his lower leg and his pain meds have now become ineffective to handle the level of pain he is having. James is unbelievably strong and resilient. That said, due to the pain and a sense of things not getting any better, he is emotionally drained and is starting to spiral into a depressed state. Please pray that the pain subsides quickly, the swelling doesn't lead to more complications, and for his continued strength and resilience.  

Thank y'all for always being here for times like these.

Praying for your son man... I know these are some of the most trying of times, so i'm praying for you as well.

As an aside, what disorder is it? Is there a charity or research available for it?

[TexasTiger 12,831]

Praying for you and your family @bigbird.

Prayers sent Bird. I can't imagine what it's like for James to go through that.

War Eagle and God bless.

Praying on our hill in Deatsville, Bird! 

[McLoofus 35,182]

We got you, fam. Have had too many conversations lately about chronic conditions and how difficult the mental aspect of it can be. 

Lil Bird is a beast. He will get through this. Sending all the positive thoughts I can to help speed it along. 

 

[SuperAUsome09 738]

Ask and you shall receive! Prayers sent!

[countoff 331]

Really sorry to hear about this.  I thought it was odd that we were not seeing much of you on the board lately.

My prayers go out to James and your entire family.

[CodeRocket 410]

We went through significant health issues with our two boys when they were growing up. They are now grown and healthy now but the nightmares, fears and uncertainty remain.

If you haven't had a sick child, you don't know what it is.

I am sorry you and your family are having to endure this.

Prayers sent and will continue.

[augrad68 165]

I am praying that God will wrap his arms around James and give him comfort, strength and healing.  I also pray that God will wrap his arms around you and your family to give you strength and comfort.

For those that don't know - Bird's son is a stud. If he's complaining about pain, it's because he's in A LOT of pain. 

Breaks my heart man. Just said a prayer on his behalf. 

[jptiger 481]

Praying for you all brother. 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

rI will keep James and your family in my prayers Bird. May God Bless him with healing and a renewed spirit. 

I am so sorry that James is going through such a difficult time, and I know you and your wife are suffering right along with him. We're all here for you and James. Lean on us. 

[kingfish 73]

Bird, I adding my faith with all the others brothers and sisters on here and asking for the healing hand of God to allow James to touch the hem of our Savior's garment. God delights in showing mercy to His children, may this be true for James and all the family.
