Good morning to everyone. I can give you an update today after having a colonoscopy and endoscopy yesterday. And the good news is that my digestive system is in good order. I have a follow up with the doctor next month to get the results of the biopsies. So now our attention will be turned to the general surgeon. And there is a 3rd specialist to be seen in January. So, the story (and the pain) continues. I continue to treasure the time with little to no pain and use it to get the things done I need to do. And no matter what, I know my God is in control.

I'm so grateful for the prayers so many have uttered on my behalf to get me through the testing procedures yesterday. Being scheduled for the endoscopy was a surprise to me, but thanks to you all, I was totally at peace with its addition.

Thank you. I've decided that I am on a journey and don't know the destination, so I am just riding along and trying to enjoy the scenery. I guess I'm trying to conserve my energy for when I need it.

Thank you. With all of the prayers, love and support you all have given me, I have regained not just my peace and sanity, but all fear is gone, I am able to smile and enjoy life when not experiencing the auger in my gut. I'm so grateful the GI doctor is being thorough and the surgeon is seeing me so quickly.

I'm sure if anything comes up with the biopsies, I will be called in sooner. The biopsies were done because the doctor was being thorough. I already have an appointment with the surgeon for next week. Thay was very quick. I am so grateful for your prayers and your hugs. And I love that you include Rob too. Poor guy needs every prayer he can get. I', putting him through the wringer.

About the endoscopy, God provides little bits of information in unique and creative ways. So glad you were here on Cute, and were open to asking for prayer. We are all in his provision and instruction. Still praying!

Thank you for the continued prayers. My husband and I have been totally dependent on prayers and God's Will throughout our entire relationship. And never more so than when 2 years ago. He is so creative, isn't He in answering prayers.
