Thank you all for prayers said and thank you, Lord for prayers answered!!

Here is a quick update for you ...

As most of you know because of my body's failure to bring my blood levels back where they should be, my doctors have been hesitant to move forward with the surgery to remove the masses from my upper lungs and esophagus area and to remove the lower lobe of my right lung. Their concern was that my bleeding ulcers had not healed as they had thought and/or there were addition, previously undetected bleeding ulcers elsewhere in my body. So today I underwent several procedures to check for those possibilities.

I was examined from top to bottom ~ (from both directions) ~ and the great news is that all of the ulcers are healed and there were no additional ulcers located in any other area!!! So, why it's still a mystery as to why I am so slow at regaining normal blood levels, at least we know that I won't need to undergo additional surgeries to repair bleeding ulcers!! (I'm still a bit groggy from the anesthetic so please forgive me if I ramble incoherently a bit here)

I will be meeting with the specialist tomorrow at about noon and I guess I will find out where we go from ~ besides another blood work, I mean....I pretty much think that is a given. Hopefully I will be at a level that will allow us to move forward with treatment for the lung masses.

BTW, I may have forgotten to mention what had appeared to be a lesion on my adrenal gland turned out to be a tiny nodule which was deem too small even for a needle biopsy, so the specials decided a "keep an eye on it" approach is best at this time. I'm relieved to know that hat's one less issue that needs immediate attention. Once we know what is going on with the lung masses we will move to try see what the situation is with the 2 masses in my brain. (They'd probably just remnants from some "brain fart" I had but failed to vent properly!!~ lol)

I will let you all know what I find out tomorrow ~ hopefully, I will have something more to say than we are doing more tests. Thank you all for all of your prayers and kind words of support and encouragement!! I know I've said it before but I must say it again ~ you are all such a source of comfort and strength for both my husband and me!!

And for all the rest of us Freepers and friends or family members of FReepers who are in need of pray please know you are included in mine!

Be still and know!

You are such a GOOF....you are more worried about us, than yourself.

BTW..I meant GOOF in a very loving way.

Please do let us know how things go tomorrow...and I will keep praying that the healing continues.

Continued prayers,ZM. May God's providential care surround, bless, and guide y'all, and your doctors, that exactly what is needed shall be done for your return to good health.

Joining you in praying for others who have requested prayer for themselves, and for those on whose behalf they have made requests.

Still prayin' for ya.

Thank you Zacs Mom for updating us on how you are doing and what is happening. You amaze me, I probably would be too tired to do anything and here you are thinking of all of us that are worried and praying for you. Coming here to let us know the latest. Thank you so much and my prayers continue always. You are such a special person.

Yow-ZUH! Examined...uh...from both ends. Yeah. Say no more.

The problem, of course, is that these days they can find so much that sometimes you don't really need to know. Old folks got lumps. Sorry, but that's the way God made us. Take it up with Him.

Prayers up for you and of course for the rest. God bless all here!

Thanks for the update. I continue to pray for you and complete restoration of your health. Your sense of humor and positive attitude will surely help. I'll be away a few days; will keep the prayers going up while I'm gone.
