Praying for guidance and wisdom for the doctors to find Roger's problem and be able to fix it quickly to relive his painful symptoms. Praying for Roger to continue fighting this illness and give him the stamina to run this marathon that is before him.
Praying for Roger's family that they are able to support Roger emotionally and that they are able to maintain their stamina to be there to help Roger.
thank you Dorthy for your compassion to let us know what a fellow BYC member is going through. We are able to lift Roger up in prayer and support him in any way possible.
I am going to meet/see Roger on Tuesday. I will take lots of pics. while I am there and share them with all of you. I am so excited to finally get to meet him. He is such a nice man.
My plans are to leave home "early" on Tuesday, so that I can get to Roger's house around 9:30 ish and spend a few hours with him while he is still feeling pretty good. It is a little more than a 3 hour drive from here to there, but that is alright with me.
I know that I am going to have trouble going to sleep tomorrow night. I feel like a child on Christmas Eve.....lol
Well, my trip to Roger's house got postponed. I just got off of the phone with Roger and his doctor called and moved his appointment up to tomorrow at 2m.
I am glad that he is going early, so that the doctors can fix what is broken and he can start feeling better again.
I will let all of you know what is happening, as soon as I find out.
I just found this post. I hope that the diagnosis is made soon and correctly - I truly do.
This summer, I went though a ordeal that sounds similar.
I had the most debilitating pain I had ever had in my life - I could not eat for the pain and the fear that it would come again. If I could eat, i would become so nausiated I couldnt move, and the food would run right though me. I was taking phenogren as often as possible. For the most part, I was in bed constantly - I did not even get to take part in the building of the new coop for my girls.
I had had these dibilitating symptoms for over two years, although not constantly; It was always written off as IBS.
All in all, i lost over 20 pounds in a month - not as bad as your friends, but it was enough to scare both me and my family. Since I am only 15, No doctors around me would see me for gastrointestinal problems since I was neither child or adult; Finally Vanderbuilts Childrens hospital would. I was schedualed for a upper and lower endoscopy ASAP. The results came back as IBD - they have yet to diagnose me with either Chrons or UC. But the good news is that I am very well on my way to remission fromt he crisis. I feel so much better, that I have gained almost all of the weight I lost back!
Blood tests are not a good way of showing IBD - the only foolproof way is to have a endoscopy/colonoscopy, if i am correct.
I know my spelling is probably very bad, but oh well....Im so tired im not sure who I am right now
Let Roger know he is in my thoughts - and that I truly hope that he gets a diagnosis soon. There is a light at the end of this tunnel - even if it is just a diagnosis. I know that it is definately a near spirit-breaking experience for most to be very ill and have no diagnosis.
I truely hope that this gets better for him, his family, and his friends soon!
