wow Flowerchild, how did I miss this one, oh me being shy and all I can see. Anyway I am with you girl, hang in there. you are a tough cookie I know you can do this. I agree with Sommer can't wait till this Spring till we all meet, thats going to be so much fun. Yea IM me when you are feeling better thinking of you .. Love you and miss you on here.
Thank you so much, all of you!! I'm feeling kinda worn out and sore, but I wanted to update you all on what's going on. The doctor found several ulcer spots in my colon and stomach (not severe at this point..) His initial diagnosis is gastritis. I go in in two weeks for the results from the biopsies he took of my colon and stomach tissue. He also wants to do another test on my gallbladder checking for crystals or sludge, and depending on what he finds there he will move on with removing my gallbladder. He also wants to do a laproscopy to look at the outside of my bowels, to rule out Chron's. My mom stayed here today while dh was working and let me rest, so that was a big help. Thank you all again. It means so much to me!!
So glad to hear from you, Flowerchild! I will continue to pray for you! Please rest as much as you can!
Flowerchild, sure glad you are home and better, I have a ulcer problems for years yes they bleed and cause all kinds of problems I hope you feel better soon... thinking of you girl
Glad you are feeling better. Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. Been praying for your quick recovery. Sounds like it could be a case of colitis which is a less severe form of chrones.
It was good to hear from you tonight.. I'm glad it is looking like some answers are on their way to you!
Thanks for checking in.....I am sure you are tired. Just get some lots of rest and we will keep praying.
Thank you, all of you, for your kind responses and prayers. They mean so much! I think I am about as rested as I can get. I'm just smiling as much as possible and waiting for the rest of the appointments. At least the overwhelming fear has subsided! That is a blessing. I know that whatever it is, I can handle it. So, I'll let this topic rest and update everyone in a few weeks when I know more. Thank you all again!! Bless you! :love:
My goodness, Flowerchild! You are facing a lot! I am just now getting around to reading more of the posts on the forum and have just now seen this. I had no idea you were suffering and am so glad you shared so that we can pray. You probably know about kefir and its healing, soothing properties. It's a stronger relative of yogurt. I'm praying that relief will come from every angle--from doctors, from rest, from diet, from the love of your family, and miraculously, from God.
Hay, Flowerchild how are you feeling we haven't seen you on here much? hope you are feeling better.. and things are getting better for you.
I'm sorry I haven't been on much.. things here are kinda sticky lately. I'm just so darn tired!! Honestly I had chronic fatigue a few years back and I am not far from that lately. I am really hoping it's just the stress/ weather/ worrying. I have been trying to rest and rest some more. Also, ds is looking worse for the wear. I know he is affected by this, although I try very hard to make light for him or "Mom's gonna lay back and watch you build a ship!" etc. But, he is a kid and kids just know when something's off. He is fair complected, as I am, so when he is tired or not feeling well it really shows! Therefore, for the last several days we've been pretty much sleeping and resting and doing very quiet things. Anyhow.. it's nothing to worry about or anything.. I think I am finally just breathing a little.. if you know what I mean.. and it's hitting me how much I've been holding my breath. Thank you again ladies. All of your kind words mean so much.
"Nothing to worry about or anything..." ?? Hmm..mm.. I wonder about that. I'm hoping the festivities of the holidays won't further deplete your energy. It's always so hard for me to admit when things seem overwhelming, so I want to encourage you to consider opting out of any activities which might over-strain you. Sometimes the wear and tear isn't all that needed. Blessings to you and your family!
Prarie, don't worry.. dh is not letting me do very much. We have my parents here, and they aren't letting me do much either lol. I am still very tired, but I'm happy to have family close. Thank you for your well wishes. kbabe, Thank you. Emma's fan, Thank you, too!
