First, The HIDA Scan was not as bad as I had envisioned it to be. I survived with a mild headache and a pretty purple bruise on my arm! Note to self: quit googling medical procedures!
The bad news is: My gall bladder is not functioning. That means I will have to get it removed. I am none to happy about that. My nausea started going away today so I thought I was getting better, but while in Wow-mart, I started having some mild pain and now it is hitting me full force. Hopefully it will subside for a while, because I really want to put this off as long as I can!! :) At least until next week. You know it is all about my procrastination!!
I now have a prayer request for y'all. I have been pretty quiet about this for a while. Hubby did not want it public knowledge until we saw the doctor. We saw the doctor today so now I am asking for your prayers.
Hubby's thyroid is enlarged on the right side. The doctor that found it wanted him to see a specialist because it was enlarged beyond his expertise. Today we saw said specialist and the appointment went really well. They did go ahead and proceed with a biopsy today. Hubby did really well, I was so proud of him. They are checking to see if it's pre-cancerous, benign or malignant.
The doctor was very reassuring and if it's bad news, he feels that we caught everything early and they will do surgery and radiation with the success rate being great with the thyroid and he sees no complications. Of course we are a little anxious and it seems like everything is hitting all at once.
Please join us in praying for Jeremy. We are praying for a calming peace while we wait for the results and of course a clean biopsy. If the test comes back showing that there is something more, we pray for a quick and successful surgery and complete healing of this. We know our God is a Mighty God and we are putting our full trust in him with this situation.
I thank you way in advance for your prayers and will let you know what is going on when we get the biopsy results back!

But I want to tell you too that the gallbladder surgery is not bad. You will feel so much better after you have it!!

prayers going up for you both! i have been there and done that with the biopsy stuff, i know how unsettling it can be...i'm praying my friend.
Good morning! My aunt had the same gall bladder problems, she went through surgery and recovered quickly. I remember the pain she was in, it was horrible! As for thyroid problems, I have the same. Well, not swollen on one side, which I know what that may mean but my was enlarged entirely. They killed it, I'll take prescription Synthroid the rest of my life. Hoping and praying everything will be ok with you and your husband.
Oh and as for searching the web for information on medical diagnosis and procedures, I think that's a great idea actually. In fact, my endocrinologist (thyroid specialist that your husband most likely saw yesterday) complimented me on my research. :)
Wow Patrice, when it rains it pours. I will pray for you both.
Well, I'm glad your procedure went well yesterday and Yes stop googling medical procedures. The surgery is really not that bad either. I'll be praying for hubby. God is good and all will be fine.
Good to hear your procedure was not as bad as you thought! Sorry about having to get your gall bladder out.. surgery is surgery if you ask me! I will be here for ya!
I am praying very hard for Jeremy and for you! Praying for healing and strength for you both and for all of the family!! I am here for ya!! See you tonight.. I will be there around 4:30. Just call me if you need me early, ok!
Prayers for you both. On a side note, my husband has his gallbladder out, and it was a good thing. So hope yours will be too.
Sending lots of prayers and hugs. We love ya'll...
Don't let that gallbladder go to long - the pain gets excrusiating! spelling?
Praying for you and your hubs.
