He probably did pray for your son. I can't imagine a priest or any member of a religious organization making a hospital visit and not praying. Kind of goes with the territory. What the priest could have done, though, had you asked is pray for you, too. We need prayer as much as anyone, especially during difficult times such as these.
Do you believe your son is a Christian? I know some people believe Christians can be possessed, but I don't. I believe they can be oppressed (influenced by demons)--but not possessed. Possession is reserved for those who do not have the Holy Spirit residing in them. If your son is a Christian, if you believe as I do, then you can at least have some comfort knowing as bad as it is, your son is not actually possessed.
