I need prayer....

[Tina]

After getting back some test results today, I decided I couldn't handle this one on my own.

I was sent for some tests last week as a precautionary measure due to some minor but persistent swelling in my feet & ankles. My doctor didn't really think there was anything wrong, because my heart sounded okay.. but wanted to send me for those tests anyway. She wanted to be sure there was no fluid around my heart. The good news is that there isn't. No sign of congestive heart failure, which is good. However, there are several issues with my heart. Not what the referring doctor was expecting at all.

I have NO symptoms of any of these things being wrong. They have just discovered them by her sending me for another reason.

I don't want to get into all of what they said, but one of the problems they say is most often corrected by surgery. Just the thoughts of that really scares me. There's also a minor problem with one of the valves which my regular doctor said needs to be regularly monitored by a cardiologist.

There's also another minor thing she is going to have checked out, that she thinks is related to issues with my gall bladder.

There are so many other things going on now that this is really the last thing I needed to hear today.

I know that God answers prayer, and sometimes I wonder if my prayers are even getting above the ceiling. If anyone would add me to their prayer list, I would really appreciate it.

I'll update when I have anything to add here. I'm not sure how long that will be. I guess it depends on how quickly they can get me in to the cardiologist.

Dear Lord God,

Sis. Tina has heard some things that have made her anxious.

Lord, You made us and not we ourselves. Lord Jesus, would You

first of all, give peace as You are the Prince of Peace, the Peace-

speaker. Would You speak sweet peace to Sis. Tina's spirit and let

her know that You are very much in control. You're still Lord!! Just

because we hear words from a physician, doesn't make You any less

God. You're our Father. We trust You with our souls, and Lord, help

us trust You with our bodies as well, in JESUS NAME we humbly pray!

Thank You, Lord, that we can safely trust in You and in what was

accomplished on the cross.

Praying Tina!
Be assured God hears, and he understands more than you realize!
He also hears all of us who will be praying as well.

Keep us updated if you can.

I'll sure be praying for you Sis. Tina.

Tina,

Thanks for not trying to handle this alone.........we are here for you and I will be praying for you.

God has a way of taking care of us - - the swellling was a way to get attention for the real problem.

[simplyme]

AMEN, I too will be praying for you TINA!
GOD has a way of bringing certain things to light so that He can show us that He is "on the job"

I myself through His mighty hand found out something concerning my health that THEY {several of my docs} wouldn't ever have partly 'cause they don't really care enough., soooo there is only good that can come when He intervenes!
