Prayer Request

Dear All:

I had bile blockage so last week I went in to have a stent put inside so to be able to drain bile. However after one week, nothing happened and it got worse, itching from head to toe, more jaundice and my bilirubin count double when they check it today.

THey found it difficult to start with my bile even though it needs attention, instead, they will focus on chemo first.

So next Monday I am going in for so called ” aggressive chemo” and hope that it will shrink a bit, so that they can handle the bile duct later

PRAYER REQUEST:

1. No chills and no fever
2. I was given a WRONG medication for itchiness, luckily John is a physician and he is shocked to see that. After consulting with Peter and John’s previous experience, that drug will do a lot of harm to my liver and had nothing to do with itchiness. I am praying that I will not have the same GI guy who will do a procedure in my bile since his knowledge on using the drug is questionable
3. Pray that I will survive the “aggressive chemo” on Monday.
4. My mom is coming on May 16th and I am asking Moses to stay overnight with her for a few days before I go out, since that is the time my immune system is at the weakest. My sister refuse to stay with her due to her own jet lag, so she will go back right away and come again when her jet lag is over. Will pray that mom will be taken care of during that time. Don’t know what to expect yet.
5. I am strong enough to show up in person on May 5th.

I don’t know HOW to thank all of you praying for me daily.

With deep gratitude and appreciation
Shirley
