PM Update on my Mom

She was released at noon and saw a urologist at 2. This doctor has rearranged his schedule to prioritize her care. She will need a complete workup under anaesthesia. He's trying to determine whether it's polyps, clots, cancer, or something else.

Good news is his office is less than a mile from their home. He is writing a letter to the airlines that states the medical necessity for my parents to get their tickets to Birobidzhan refunded.

Please pray :
-For quick and efficient treatment and diagnosis.
-For peace (again, ongoing need. This is not a one-shot "got peace" deal!)
For Mama's pain to be as minimal as possible for the doctor to still discern the severity. (Pain is a good thing; great indicator of what's wrong, but how we hate to endure it or see it.)
-For the airlines to be agreeable to this refund (the trip would have been next Tuesday).
-For stamina as Daddy takes care of her, and for me and my sister (I have one local, 2 out of state) to do what they need when they need and still serve our families' needs.
-For grace for their tiny congregation (about 8 regulars) to pull together at this time. Of course there are no assistant pastors in a church so small. No one to fill the pulpit on a moment's notice.
-For a non-cancer diagnosis. I dread the "c" word.

Just finished praying for you and your family, Zo.

I'll certainly be praying for wisdom and peace with all these issues. Also for the Drs. to be able to quickly figure out and start treating whatever the problem is.
