I feel so bad for not mentioning this. Eli hasn't been feeling well for the last probably 2-3 months. It's not that we thought it wasn't a big deal, but we just kept putting off paying a visit to the Dr. Things weren't getting any better, so he went to our "old" family Dr. I say old because we are no longer going to be using him. He gave him an antibiotic, a steroid shot and did an EKG because Eli has been dealing with anxiety over being sick this long. To make a long story longer, he had to follow up with a cardiologist. The cardiologist ordered blood work and has him set up to do an echocardiogram and a stress test. The same day he met with the cardiologist, he went to our "new" family Dr. She determined he has a bacteria called H. Pylori that can make you pretty sick. As a result of that visit, he is now on about 2000mG of antibiotic a day, he's been on steroids to help with the inflammation and he has to follow up with a GI specialist next week. We got the lab work back from the cardiologist yesterday and his cholesterol is ok, but his triglycerides are pretty high.
All of this to say, please keep my hubby in your prayers. His anxiety is really doing a number on him and it breaks my heart when he's fighting it. Please pray for his body to heal, for the Dr's wisdom and for him to just let our God handle everything.
