MayB, Tely and maj, the news was good, I posted what she said.
Thanks for the prayers, sometimes, it's the only thing open to us earthly observers. Thanks for the read and comments and concern. Besos.

I am wondering because you have not updated this that the news is not so good. By anyone's standards this is not a good situation. I am glad at least that he has a "momma" such as you

Padrecito,

 here is the sad part of his story, he lives with his sister here in town. Their mother bought them a lovely huge house on the West side of town, far away from me. His sister chose the house to give them privacy from their second mother's eyes, that's ME!!!! They also like the house because they don't have to run into each other inside of it, if they don't want to. Sad.

They think that I am a spy for their mother, so they stay far away from me and rarely call anymore or visit only maybe twice a year. I go to their house to surprise them and to see how they are doing. Mostly, I visit their dogs and play with them. American dogs being raised African style, neglected by our standards.

He and his sister only speak to each other when they must and they insult each other and hurt each other's feelings like small children, still. So sad. I have told them to grow up and love each other, they are adults now. I have also told them that I have never spied on them and they know it, but I do tell their mother important things that she should know. Or she asks me to find out something and I go tell them, "Your mother wants me to ask you....." and they laugh and answer her question.

Ay grandmammina
you'd know what to do ... mothers would anyway. I feel sorry for the boy getting sick in a foreign country and all that. Have you tried contacting the sister? You are right -- she should start loving her brother real soon.

HolyGrail, we are all praying that it is something easily fixed, but
fearful. I hated those photos, but was so grateful to finally have something for the doctors to look at and to believe in, as they had denied that he had any real problems up until this week.

jemmie, thanks. Prayers are all that can be done until he is diagnosed and
a healing plan is implemented. I pray for us all, especially for his mom and dad so far away and so worried.

Ca88andra, I'm the first to admit that life isn't fair, but hate it when
it's unfair to someone that I love and have high hopes for....

Oh no, no!!!  I really hope it's not anything serious....

He'll be in my prayers
You keep being the wonderful woman you are to him!  I'm sure that helps no matter what! *hug*  And I'll send him my positive thoughts and say prayers for him!

It never seems fair does it? I wish him all the best.
