What do you get the mom who already has everything wrong?

Tomorrow is, of course, Mother's Day. If only everyone had a mom as wonderful as mine...

But alas, that isn't the case for one 13-year-old in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.

Daniel Hauser has Hodgkin lymphoma, a highly curable form of cancer (up to 95% 5 year survival rates for kids), but Daniel's doctors have downgraded his chances to 5%. Why, you ask?

Via Star Tribune:

[Colleen] Hauser, whose son was diagnosed in January with Hodgkin's lymphoma, said conventional treatments such as chemotherapy conflict with the family's religious beliefs. She said they prefer natural remedies such as herbs and vitamins.

A court battle is currently underway to decide whether the boy should receive the proper treatment. Should Colleen Hauser win the case, the doctors have a fairly straightforward prognosis.

"What is the ultimate outcome of that process?" Tom Sinas, an attorney for the guardian ad litem, asked of the tumor's growth.

"Death," Bostrom replied.

Gee, thanks Mom.

Man, this kind of thing burns me up.
