Sunshine, thank you for thinking about Michael. He finally had the cystoscopy today under general anaesthetic. Nothing nasty has been found, although he has still been passing blood in his urine. However, there were a couple of strictures that made the camera test difficult, and he bled quite a lot afterwards.

He's recovering at home now, and we are hoping the test/GA doesn't cause his fibro to flare. It seems his kidney ultrasound was clear, so again,we are counting our blessings. The GP is keeping an eye on bloods, to double check his liver, but otherwise we don't have any more news.

He's on a bagful of different meds for various conditions, so my task this weekend is to scrutinise all the patient information leaflets to see if any of the meds could be causing the bleeding.

I'll keep you up dated about anything we find.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers. They are very much appreciated.

Hugs

 Hi      :)

Well I'm glad they didn't find what I suspect you all suspected!

Bit of a mystery. Hope they do identify what the problem is and can remedy it.

Take care. Still sending good vibes.

Thanks Scottie

Having read up information about strictures, it seems they could have been causing the bleeding, so that might be the answer.

Michael is doing okay. He's back at work and running here and there with his kids, so life is good.

It is such a blessing when we have things in our lives that turn out better than we expected, isn't it. So glad to hear that you son is doing so well. Will pray that he continues to do so. Now you can take a deep breath. It isn't any easier when the kids grow up is it. Life always throws us some curve balls. Irish

Katy, sorry I wasn't here praying for Michael, but I'm so glad to see that he's working again and able to spend time with his children. Keep us posted.

Peace and blessings to you,
