Prayers For Bo
« on: July 22, 2011, 05:05:36 am »
and my family

I need some prayers for Bo ... he has been having a problem for about 3 weeks ... I knew something was wrong because he has been laying around alot instead of in constant motion and has running a temp almost around the clock ... he kept telling me it was just the heat ...

yesterday morning as he was leaving for work he told me to make him an appointment because he has been bleeding alot every time he goes to bath room ... he went to our doctor who examined him and then sent him to another doctor who took him right in and they did some ultrasounds and x-rays ... he will have a colonoscopy next week ... they gave him super antibiotics to clear up any infection before the procedure since he had a high white cell count ... suspect colon cancer ...this scares me more than my AN ever did ...

holding my prayer rock tightly ...

Starting to pray now, Soundy. My hope is that it is an infection and nothing more.

Sending love and lots of prayer from Missouri.

Soundy ~

Although this is definitely scary, trust in prayer and know that you are never alone.  Until the tests come back, there is reason to hope (and pray) that Bo's symptoms indicate an infection or other treatable problem.   I know you'll both get through this.  Meanwhile, my prayers and those of many others will be said for Bo....and for you.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Hi Soundy,

I too am hoping that it's an infection or some other issue that can be treated without any problems.  I know we always think the worst when there are so many other things it could be.  Will keep you in my thoughts, Jill
