A hectic couple of weeks lately in the Webster house! Jim was called back to Wisconsin and I’ve been playing Mom & Dad for the past few weeks. JT has had continued issues with his gut and has not been gaining any weight. We decided that a GI scope/biopsy and a colonoscopy would be beneficial to test for graft versus host (GVH). The procedure will be done outpatient and is scheduled for Wednesday morning. He also has been experiencing severe pain in his legs making it difficult for him to stand or walk. The pain got so bad last Thursday that we ended up in the ER. They did an ultrasound on his veins and discovered a blood clot. We ended up being admitted by 11:30pm that evening, but the BMT Unit was full, so they put us in the AFLAC Cancer Unit next door. A little louder and the environment was not quite as sterile as BMT…we’ve been spoiled! They decided to do a second ultrasound Friday morning, and praise God; there were no signs of a blood clot. JT had already had two Lovenox shots by then and was very relieved to get the news that he would not have to be on the blood thinner long term again. JT was put through a series of neurological tests that showed no concerns and later had an MRI on his spine to rule out any disc problems. We were discharged with pain medication and home by 8:30 Friday night. And still none the wiser. Hopefully we’ll get some answers this week…it’s starting to take a toll on him. Thanks as always for checking in on us.

Well, that is some good news anyway....not "all clear" perhaps, but at least the blood clot is gone---that is a big praise! Praying for a complete success and good health for JT! Bring him through Lord!

ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father,
ReplyDeleteThe bible says that you have both the power and the desire to save us from calamities in our lives, Lord we seek you today and ask that you would rescure JT from all these calamities that would otherwise overtake him. Father, I pray that you would give the doctors the strategy and JT the ability to overcome any and all difficulties that he is facing in his life. Lord, I especially pray that JT would have a new wind of strength to overcome the challenges that he is facing and going through. Lord, I thank you that when we come to you, you have promised to rescue us and to keep us from things to work together for good. I choose, today, to believe that every situation in JT's life will be turned around real soon. I give you all the praise and glory for what you are about to do in the Webester family!! In Jesus Name; amen
