Prayer Request

I would like to ask my readers to be in prayer for me. About a week ago I started having pain in my chest and back. I thought it might just be indigestion, but medicine didn't help. I went to the doctor last Friday and that was initially what the nurse practitioner thought it was. She gave me a GI cocktail to drink and some Prevacid to take. Neither did anything to help. The pain stays for a while and then leaves for a little bit. For some reason it seems to get better during the night when I sleep, but comes back later in the morning. I seem to notice it more when I am still too.

I was talking to one of my friends from church the other day and she had the exact same symptoms and it turned out to be her gall bladder. I went back to the doctor yesterday and they scheduled me for an ultrasound at the hospital next Wednesday morning. I am hoping that they will find something just so we will know for sure that that is what it is. There are times that the pain is worse than others. It seems like it may be worse when my stomach is empty, yet the pain makes me lose my appetite and I really just don't feel like eating anything. So, it is a catch 22.

We are still planning to go to Greensboro this weekend and will either leave tomorrow night or Friday morning. I am hoping that I don't have an attack while we are traveling. I know that I am in God's hands and that He will give me peace and will take care of me through all of this. I have had great support here from friends who have been willing to take care of Taylor so I can see the doctor. That has been a real blessing.

Thanks for your prayers and I'll keep you posted with updates.
