Hi everyone,
I am asking for some prayers for Jeff. He is in the hospital but we are not sure what the problem is. He started having pains in his stomach last night, shortly after eating. He got home late and ate kind of fast and just thought it was indigestion. He took some antacid and went to bed. He was awake tossing and turning all night. He felt really bad yet this morning but got up and went to work. He came home around 8:30 am to help me get the kids around for school. He said the pain was getting worse and he felt really bad. He went out the ER and they did blood work and did a CT scan to check his appendix then they took him back again and did another one where they made him lay on his stomach. They said the scan showed his appendix was normal. There was one count that was high and one that was low or normal in his pancreas so that has them confused. They admitted him and had a surgeon check him out. He wants to keep him over night and see what happens by morning. He said that it could be some lymph nodes that are inflamed. They have him on antibiotics and said that by morning he should be feeling better if its the lymph nodes. If its the appendix, he should be having other symptoms by morning( nausea, vomiting, fever etc.). If the pain is still there but the other symptoms aren't, then they want to do exploritory surgery to see if they can see anything going on inside. If they do that, they will take the appendix anyway since they will already be inside.
Sorry this is so long. I also apologize if it doesn't all make sense. It has been a stressful day.
Thanks again for all the support I receive from this site!!
You are all great!!
