I tried his fan club site before posting to the list.  All they have is a
black and white photo.  I want a color one.

Anybody else have any ideas?

Subject: PRAYER: Son Being Moved to CARDIAC Unit Right Now

Delurking After a Wee Hours Call.............; For Listmates, I continue to
read, pray for/to all prayer requests on all lists, as I said in response to a
prayer request on the Knights of the Cross (KOC) List during what was now
"last night."

If you are getting this more than once, I apologize.  If you feel you are
getting this in error, I apologize; I am casting as broad a NET as I can with
this request.

My son will be 21 in June.  In approximately 1999, I found a normally
undetectable murmur because he had a very bad flu and his Cardiac Output was up,
making the murmur much louder.  I persuaded the "Peds at Night" pediatrician to
hear me out, that the Hewlett Packard Stethoscope around my neck was not just
for show........

...........and my son was seen my the very BEST Pediatric Cardiologist in
this area the very next day.  He has an extremely rare heart condition in which
there is an extra membrane in his heart that causes damage to the valve in his
heart (Aorta) that lets blood out to oxygenate and feed blood to his
body--sorry, I am not talking down to anyone; just don't want to get super
technical
for nonmedical folks.  The cardiologist said had it NOT been found, my son
could
have been a statistic: "Dropped dead in the middle of a
basketball/football/hockey/wrestling.....etc., game for unknown reasons." He
was not allowed to
play sports except for swimming, was cheesed off that he had to quit the
wrestling team, and so on.

Until now, the risks of the Open-Heart Surgery to correct this problem have
outweighed the benefits.  For several months, he has been having chest pain
beneath his breastbone after riding his bicycle.  He called me tonight, after
NO exercise, with the same kind of chest pain--not radiating down his arm, no
classic cardiac symptoms.  I persuaded him to get it checked out nonetheless,
and he was smart enough to take his records from his Pedi-Cardio Doc with him.
An hour and a half later, after calling a listmate <<waves>> for prayers, and a
local friend as well, I was about 15 seconds from hitting the door to go
there.

Then my son called, said "I'm sorry, they told me it's not cardiac, but they
want me to stay for tests. I want to leave but my fiance is making me stay; I
will be fine. They want to figure out why it is happening."

I said "GOOD FOR HER." (Fiance) Asked would he still like me to come, he said
no, he would be done soon, "I love you, Mom," would call me later, etc.  He
had his routine echocardiogram scheduled (has not had one in SEVERAL years, I
cannot make him now, he is legally an adult <sigh>) for February.  NOW, it
appears it IS CARDIAC.  The ER Doc was having trouble persuading him to stay
and
asked me some questions about the condition as well, because it is extremely
RARE........

She put me on the phone with him; he was very upset, wanted to go home,
nothing was working.

Finally I told him: "If you sign out AMA..." ..... "What's that?" ..........
"Against Medical Advice," ........."Oh, OK, yeah, I forgot, thanks......"
......... "Your insurance will be able to refuse to pay the bill for ANYTHING
you have had done.  You could wind up footing the bill for this entire night."

(Huge sigh from him, but he is calmer.)  "OK, that convinces me, and like the
Doctor said, and you just said, being an inpatient puts me at the top of the
list for the echocardiogram."

He didn't want to talk after that; they won't let me come over there right
now; he is at the age where they told me long ago the surgery might become a
seriously necessary factor (and it is the full boat, open heart, heart, lung
bypass sort of deal). Very likely he will be FINE, but I would like to please
ask
for any and all prayers, positive thoughts, vibes, whatever you do/choose to
send.  He is terrified, and no matter how much I am supposed to "know," so am
I.

This is my one and only child; he is my miracle baby--it is a miracle I was
able to have him.  Despite many things and problems, he has turned into a young
man of whom I am so proud I cannot even say.

Thank you for your time and thank you for listening.

Love and Hugs to all, The Always Long-Winded, Billie-Lee Billie-Lee Williams,
RN, etc..."Oh, Divine Master grant that I may never seek, not so much to be
consoled as to console, not so much to be understood as to understand, to be
loved as to love with all my heart.  Amen."  Saint Francis

He always seems to put on a little weight when he's not doing steady stage
work, but I think he's more fit this time than what he was in FK season 3.
I've heard that his weight gain in FK season 3 was because he'd quit
smoking.

 He's a lot bigger than FK season 3, but he seems to be aging gracefully,
overall.

Yes, I noticed this too.  His character's mannerisms reminded me of LC's
CERK scenes.
