Friends,

Please remember in your prayers the servant of God CAROLYN, my sister, who has barely eaten anything in the past week due to an as yet undiagnosed stomach condition. It's not the flu and the anti-nausea medication isn't helping. She's going in for some more tests tomorrow.

A very stressful and worrisome time for your whole family. I pray she is returned to health very soon. God be with your sister and family.

Of all things that it could be, it most certainly is not that. My sisters will most likely forever remain the "Spinster Aunts" of my nieces and nephews

She's getting her tests done as I type this. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Okay. I just wanted to get that out of the way.

I hope it is nothing serious!

Still nothing as much, yet, but when my father found out they were giving her an ultrasound, he exclaimed, "You're not pregnant?!"

UPDATE:

Not the gall bladder and nothing in the cancer area. She's being sent to a gastroenterologist tomorrow.

Thank you all for your continued prayers.

My prayers for Carolyn. I just got over a stomach illness that lasted 2 weeks and with all the testing they did all they could say is that it was some kind of virus. That's why sometimes I depend more on prayers than doctors.

When they did my ultrasound they found that I have an enlarged liver that was caused by non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I wouild have been better off financially at least, if they found that I was pregnant.

May I suggest she have allergy testing for food allergies. It was this type of symptom, along with a tremendously bad case of heart burn and a trip to the ER which got that ball rolling for me. Eighteen months later with serious avoidance of allergic foods and I feel like a new person.

Lord have mercy on your handmaiden Carolyn.

Lord have mercy on Your servant Carolyn and grant to the doctors wisdom as they diagnose her problem. I pray it will be nothing serious and that she'll soon be feeling much better!

Once again, thank you for all your prayers.

As an update, she had an endoscopy/biopsy today. The new specialist thinks it may be some form of gastritis caused by bacterial infection. She's lost 20 pounds over the past month as she's barely eaten anything substantial due to the nausea.

test results are due beginning of next week.

We're mostly praying now for patience in dealing with inept medical professionals

Prayers fro your sister , that this will clear up swiftly now you have some idea of what is going on.

Schultz · « **Reply #35 on:** April 10, 2008, 11:44:48 AM »

thank you all for your continued prayers for my sister.

She was finally diagnosed with a bacterial infection that was also causing acid reflux. She's on two antibiotics and something else at the moment. Why it took a month to diagnose a condition which seems pretty obvious to my untrained eye from the getgo, I don't know. However, she's getting better and will hopefully be able to regain some of the 30 pounds she lost over the past month quickly.

Thank you again and let us give glory to God!

Glory to God! What a relief to learn it's nothing more serious. I was fearful it was Crohn's or Celiac or something by your earlier desciption, so this is certainly good news! May she continue to improve and gain strength and weight!

A wonderful blessing Schultz. Praise God your sister finally has an answer. I too have bad reflux and it is a funny problem. Mine causes asthma-like symptoms and inner ear problems. Your sister is going to have to do some investigative work to figure out what triggers her symptoms, what foods she should avoid, even changing her sleep positions (left side not right side, bed blocks to raise the head of the bed, no sleeping on multiple pillows, etc..).
