Quick Update

Thank you so much to everyone who has responded with prayers and encouragement after our last post. I wanted to post a quick update with where we are at:

The CT scan did not get scheduled last week due to a pre-authorization needed from our insurance company. So, I will go in tomorrow evening at 7:30pm (EST) for the test. Thankfully, they were willing to do it in the evening to accomodate Ryan's work schedule (so he can be home with the kids).

Since last Thursday, they were able to do some tests for other possible illnesses - those came back today and were negative. So, we were able to rule out ulcerative colitis, IBS and Crohn's disease. That is good news!

Again, if the CT scan shows nothing significant, I will then be referred to a surgeon who will most likely perform an ultrasound to confirm the abdominal hernia. Thanks again for your prayers - I will post more as soon as we know!

Wow, 7:30, that is amazing timing. The other negative results are a blessing; still praying for the "easiest" outcome possible!
