It's not something you recover from, more something you're born with. Luckily it hasn't developed like it could in my boy so far.
That being the case - do you believe that your god allowed your child to have this affliction?????
It's something in his genes which is mostly dormant, and no one else in my family has symptoms that I'm aware of. There is a lack of specialists, but we have had infrequent checks and as he gets older the chance he will be badly affected lessen. The hard growths can occur all over the body, in the spine causing irregular curvature, and in the eyes causing blindness.
God created this beautiful reality and everyone gets what they're dealt. All kids are different, and all of them are great. I'm grateful my boy is an amazing person in his own right.. loving, generous and kind.
The christians I've known don't have nearly the realistic perspective you have on these matters. Good luck to you and your son.
Medical science is the only hope - not hocus pocus. Too bad for Jose Mestre. His mother brainwashed him good. He could have had medical help for his face decades ago. So very stupid. Their preacher probably condoned his mothers actions too - and if he did he should be horse whipped!
