My husband and I are worried sick. It started about a week ago, when he began experiencing a terrible stomach ache. In the past week, we’ve been to the ER and several doctors, and they’ve run various tests, but we haven’t gotten any results back yet, in part because it’s a darn holiday weekend. So meanwhile, we are both worried SICK, which is an understatement. The internet is acting as both a blessing and a curse, with us obsessing over his symptoms and making ourselves crazy with thoughts of one horrible diagnosis (mainly involving colon cancer) after another. So I’m writing this quick post as a way of hopefully using the internet as a blessing rather than a curse and putting out this call for prayer. Please, please pray for our family that my husband’s illness is nothing serious, and that we will be able to find the cause and the cure in a timely fashion. We have 4 little children, and it’s been really difficult to function as a family with one of us sick and both of us so worried and terrified. It’s probably nothing, but I thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.
You’ve got it. Hoping for the best.
I already have been. I KNOW HE is watching over you all and everything will be fine. Peace… Love… Prayer. But what a week 😉
And don’t forget… if you need ANYTHING more, I am a click or ring away. It will help me, too.
Derek’s IM prayer was a good one, so I’m posting it for him and for me:
God, I just pray right now for Chris. I ask that You lay Your healing hand on him, and guide the doctor and medical staff involved to the right decisions leading to his healing.
And I pray that you are a comfort to Lisa, their friends, and any of their kids who realize something is wrong right now, I ask that You hold them close to You right now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
