More prayers needed

[Katybarstool]

Hi

Some of you 'old-timers' will remember praying for my son, Michael, some years ago. He is 32, married with two small children and has had terrible health. However, he works two jobs, and does his best for his family.

On Tuesday he saw his GP about a testicular lump and blood in his urine. He only went to see her because he had been asked to go in and discuss some routine bloods. Typical man, hadn't taken the lump/blood serious. Anyway, during the appointment he was told he was anaemic and there were signs of his liver being damaged.

Things have moved quickly since Tuesday: he was called to the hospital Wednesday for an ultrasound of his liver (and possibly kidneys - he's not sure) and has an emergency appointment for a cystoscopy first thing in the morning.

As you can imagine, we are very worried.So, all positive vibes and prayers would be much appreciated.

I will let you know how he gets on.

Prayers to Michael and Family..

Kathy you know the routine.. try to breath and take care of yourself too.
The unknown part can be overwhelming and the Drs will test, investigate.. time and patience.

Please keep us updated. Hugs to all of you.

To my lovely friends

Unfortunately, we are no further forward. I went with Michael to the clinic on Friday and, after three hours of back and forth, it was realized that the lignacane that would have been used for the procedure was the same one that caused a reaction to him many years ago. So he now has to wait an appointment to having it done at the hospital under GA.

To make matters worse, there were no results available from his ultrasound - just unfortunate that the clinic and hospital don't share all their computer records. So we are waiting again.

Michael is doing okay. We are going out for a meal tonight to celebrate his son's 9th birthday, so that is a distraction for him - and us, of course. 

I am doing reasonably well. I have had a few wonky blood tests, so am having them done again tomorrow. Again, I will let you know how it goes.

God bless
Kathyx

Kathy, it's been about a month since your last update.  I hope there has been progress with your son and you're still doing reasonably well.
