Prayers for you and for your son. So happy to hear that he has a diagnosis, and now the docs can chart the correct course to return him to perfect health.
Alcohol may not be his friend…something to consider. Three beers seems a lot. Some people cannot tolerate that much.

*I* know alcohol is not his friend. Especially with pancreatitis. Anybody who’s every had it should *never* drink. Even if it’s cause by a bacteria or virus. Alcohol is terrible for the organ.
But you try telling a kid who’s on the cusp of turning twenty one that they can never touch alcohol again. (And while you’re at it, can you please get him to stop speeding, hanging off of cliffs, doing stunts on motorcycles, eating fast food, doing stupid ‘challenges’ that involve fire, and dating inappropriate women? Thanks!) ;-)
Young men make mothers into old women.
(They’ve got him on good drugs now. He’s telling everyone that he’s in for ‘tax evasion’. He’s already made one escape attempt.)
