Your prayers are being answered

I just now realized I never came back on here to give an update to those who follow my health.

I had been having pain in my upper right abdominal area for 2+ weeks. Multiple doctor visits, an ultrasound and then a CT to try and figure out what was going on. Last I posted I had found out I had kidney stones, an enlarged kidney and a possible mass on my liver. I asked for prayer.

Thank you all for praying!

The good news is I got a good report at my follow up appointment. My kidney at the time of CT was no longer enlarged. The mass on my liver appears to be benign. And while I do still have kidney stones they didn't appear to be currently causing a blockage. No further testing or appointments needed. That was all great, but I was still having pain.

Well I feel your prayers and God is answering them. That pain has since subsided. It is still slightly there but no longer waking me up at night or causing problems. However, I need to still ask for prayer.

The pain is now lower. Perhaps, the doctor is right in thinking the kidney stones are *trying* to pass, but I would imagine the pain would be much worse if that's what was happening right now. The pain last night was in the area of my appendix which of course concerned me. Whatever it is I hope and pray it is nothing serious and goes completely away soon.

The other thing is this. I feel perhaps as if I, or even maybe we, are under attack. Of course anyone trying to serve our Lord is going to be under attack. The devil does not want this. But it's as if- if it's not one thing lately it's another. So I ask for prayer. Prayer for God to guard our marriage and make it stronger, prayer for God to bring peace throughout the struggle, prayer for pain to subside and no further health issues to complicate things, prayer for us to continue to serve Him first and foremost in our lives regardless of anything else that surrounds us, that our words and actions bring glory to His Holy Name.

Thank you all.
