Hey guys,
I have an update on some health stuff and also a prayer request in regard to all that.
I saw the doctor(who is a surgeon) that DARS is paying for me to see and he wants to do a CT scan, a colonoscopy, and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) --the last two are, basically, inserting a tube with a camera to look inside my digestive tract. They may also take biopsies of tissue.
We have to get these procedures approved by DARS first (to make sure that they will agree to pay for them) and then try to get them all done the same day.
Please pray that DARS will pay for it and that the doctor will be able to find out what has been causing all my abdominal pain and stomach problems. And please pray that my abdominal pain will at least get to a more comfortable level --it has flared up the past 2 1/2 weeks. This past week, I haven't been able to eat as much --like, I'll eat breakfast (a bagel or bowl of cereal) and then not be hungry again until the evening. So I'm trying to keep my nutrients up with some Instant Breakfast and Gatorade.
Thank you all so much for your prayers.
