Hospital, Here we are.
November 21st, 2009My husband was admitted into the hospital tonight. Please pray for us.
He has had a problem with a bulge on his left side for sometime now that causes him some pain but it has never been this bad. He drove himself to the ER at around 11 AM today and finally called me at Noon. He has had every test ran known to man and nothing conclusive has ever presented itself. Several doctors have speculated as to what they think it might be, but we need some concrete answers. His white blood cell count has been slightly elevated for about a year now but they haven’t been able to figure that out either.
They have now determined that the two are related, but why is now the question. He has endured a battery of tests previously and today…still no answers. They are considering some exploratory surgery since all other options have been exhausted at this point. They have him heavily medicated and on very strong antibiotics. Other than that, we do not know much. I will be traveling back and forth to the hospital and home, taking care of him and the kids both as best I can. Tomorrow we have a dear friend of the family coming in to save the day and help out wherever she is needed.
What do I need for you to pray for? Answers…on so many levels. Not only do we need answers about his health but as to how we are going to pay all of the medical bills that are piling up. I know that in the end we will be fine but for now it is all a little scary so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
I do not know when I may be able to update you further but I will as I can.

I’m so sorry to hear that!!! I totally know how unexplained pains and numerous test feel like. Sorry you guys have to go through all this!! Since he is getting a bunch of test done please for me ask them to test for h. plory. Most doctors don’t and it gave me SO many problems for over a year. Best to rule out everything, right? I hope all goes well and you guys get so answers soon!!!!!
