More Tests

Wow! Two posts in one day- this is amazing!!

I went to the doctor this afternoon. There is no diagnosis or relief yet. The doctor was more concerned this time and we went over EVERYTHING from the past two years. She is trying to figure out if this problem has been building or if it just popped up one day back in November. Then, she had to press on my whole stomach area and I really wanted to cry. It hurt so bad which surprised me. There are two areas of me that really hurt but when she pressed, everything hurt! It was not pleasant. Here is where we're headed now:
*All of my blood work was normal this time except one little liver test which was still high. There have been two liver tests that were high but one has gone back to normal. That was good news! Now, she is just worried about that other one that is still high.
*Next Wednesday, I will go have a Hida Scan. This is a procedure that will take about two hours. It will show if my gallbladder is working correctly.
*The 26th of January I will go have an endoscopy. I will be sedated for this but it only takes about an hour (that includes recovery time). They will put a tube down my throat and see into my stomach area. They are also going to do a biopsy at this time. Right away, the doctor should be able to tell if there is something going wrong there and what we can do to fix it.
*If the two above tests do not show anything, I will need to have an MRI of my liver and possibly a colonoscopy.

PLEASE keep praying that they find something (and preferrably with these next two tests). The past few days (especially today) have been very painful. School was especially difficult today because I was in so much pain. I just don't have the time to take off anymore especially since I have to take days off for these procedures. I am trying to make it through the best that I can.

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming!
