Could use your prayers...

[halfseminole]

I'm pretty new here, but I also know that prayer requests are something any one who prays never minds accumulating.

I have been diagnosed with some sort of autoimmune connective tissue disorder (there's no understanding of what exactly I have, as I need a genetic array and I'm waiting on disability) and I'm currently just barely making it day by day.  We lost our son in January, and I've thrown myself into getting everything physically ready to move my wife into our new mobile home (trailer is paid for, land is paid for, even our vehicles are paid for) because this one reminds her too much of the baby.  What I've done (and I can only now see it, when I'm stuck flat on my back) is to cause myself significant damage in doing so.  I've ignored multiple hernias and something called a urachal cyst, but now it looks like a baseball is trying to come up under my abs and I'm unable to control the pain with anything I have.  I have a surgery consult on Friday so the doctors are doing something about this, so I have that going for me.

My prayer request is that I can still get done the things that my wife needs me to do to take care of her and get her new home here.  (You thought I was asking for me, ha ha.)  I'd gladly lay down my life for her, and if it takes it to get her somewhere that she doesn't have to deal with all the things that he had everywhere in her face then I don't mind.  I'm not worried about pain, not worried about damage.  I'm looking for strength to see this through to the end.  My wife needs this, and I will do it for her, no matter the cost.  Please pray that God gives me the strength to see this through.

Ended up in the ER last night, and we finally have a positive diagnosis for what's been causing me the most grief.  I meet with a team on Friday to discuss how to proceed, which will almost certainly mean surgery.  God answers prayers, even if He picks strange ways to do so.  My fight with this will not end until my last breath, but this is good, solid progress.

[Doc Nock]

Congrats on getting a diagnosis... whatever it might be, you surely have a faithful spirit and that will carry you far and well in this fight.

Prayers continue for healing for you from the physical torment now being endured and for healing for your wife from her emotional torment.

Keep the Son in your eyes---both of you!

Not what you want I'm sure but knowing helps take some pressure off. Continued prayers

Looks like it will be bladder surgery, and I thank God myself as I type this.  Surgery will be a real end to this issue-I'm still technically terminal, but this should allow me to get back in the woods for a while, as well as take care of my wife.  Now I pray it happens sooner rather than later.

[Doc Nock]

I had an older neighbor who had actual bladder cancer... they'd go up the urethra to snip it out from inside the bladder...then they finally took the bladder years later and then it progressed from there but Jack had 10 great years and kept in the woods!

Not sure what your situation is, but you sound positive about the direction and I'm happy that you are grateful.

With your attitude, you will do well! Prayers continue!

Keep the Son in your eyes!
