Kelly,
Please know that you and your son are in my thoughts and prayers.  You are coping very well under the circumstances and you came to the right place.  We will all be waiting to hear how your son is doing.  Jo

Kelly,
I just saw this now.  I'm sorry for what you're going through.   I can understand its stressful.  I'm sure all will be fine.  He's young and I've heard this is treatable. 
Like Lisa says, stay away from all the medical sites.  I'm very good at working myself into quite a frazzle once I start reading through them!
Thinking of you,

My dear Kelly,
I am so very sorry to hear about the newest of onslaughts you must be going crazy. I just don't even know what say to you, except of course you and your son will be in my thoughts and prayers. Also to let you know that of course you came to the right place for support. You are very much loved here Kelly. You have helped a lot of grateful people through the hardest times in their lives, so of course everyone would want to do and say what ever they could, to encourage you. Take care. Post often and let us know how things are going. We do care and are concerned.
Love and Hugs

Kelly,
I'm sorry that I didn't see this earlier. 
 
I'll be thinking of you and your little boy and hoping for the best on Monday.
 
You are a loving and wonderful mom, giving all you've got.
 Take care of yourself too so that you can be there for him. 
 
I'm sending you good thoughts and hope everything is ok. 
 
Best,
HP

Kelly, so glad to hear the tests came back normal.  I do like Moss' and Jazz's advice.  Relax and enjoy the weekend.  Try to get your son to relax too!  And please spend your free time on this site instead of sites like WebMD to echo what KyLisa said.  I also freak myself out when I try to play doctor on the web!  Still sending happy and healing thoughts your way!
