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.

November 15th, 2013. 12:58 PM. He's still remained relatively stable, the worst that has happened have been very minor seizures occurring at random times, but no new damage has been caused by them as far as could be detected and he's now on medicine that should prevent those. I'll likely be staying the entire weekend there. The removal surgery should be sometime next week, after which the oncologist we spoke to will analyze the tumor to determine what kind of treatment, if any, will be needed afterward.
