Hi all.  I feel like i have over used my prayer request here, between my own health problems, my dad's knee surgery,  my surgeries, my mother n law passing away, and  my injured horse,  but  now i need  to ask  for  another prayer request.

My 80 year old mom  who does not have  the  strongest immune  system to begin with  (  she has had crohn's  disease  for about 40 years now   and   also has hepatitis  from blood  transfusions  years  ago and   arthritis  )   went to her doctor  a few weeks  back  for  her routine  physical and  they   found  some blood in her urine.

They sent her to a specialist, and  she had  to give  another urine   sample, and  they  found  quite  abit of blood in her urine, when they ran it  thru the  tests  and  under  the  microscope.My mom was shocked cause  she  has had no symptoms.

Anyway, the doctor  said  it could be  just a kidney stone, but he  was more afraid  because of  the  amount blood in the urine, that it could be bladder  cancer.


My mom is  scheduled  for more  tests after the holidays in January.


So this has left me totally numb inside. I am trying  to smile, and  think  positive  so that i  do not ruin my  son's  Christmas. Have not said  anything  to him, cause he  is too young  to understand.  But it is  hard.

I am scared. This is  my mom.My best girlfriend. I tell her more things  then i do not my own husband.

My family has gone thru alot in the past few years, between my sisters, their husbands, their kids  and  their  kid's kids. Their have been divorces, a house  fire, illnesses, and my mom was always  the the strong rock that held  the  family together.

My mom is that type of person, you can't help falling in love with. She is  so kind, and  outgoing. Like  an  angel  on earth. I could  go  on  and on, but i think  you can see how much  she  means to me, my family,  and  to alot  of  people  who  know  her.

So please keep her in  your  prayers, that this  doctor is  wrong  and  that she  will be  okay,  cause  we need her still.

Thankyou.  In the  meantime, I continue  pray and  try  to think positive  and  be  strong  for  her. Even though inside i feel like  screaming, and  saying   what  next ? Has my family  not been  thru enough ?  I  know they say God  does not give  you more  then  you  can handle, but....

anyway, all i can have is  faith, and  be  strong  and  pray. I pray  to God  to help us stay strong  thru this holiday season, and  to watch over  my  mom.

So please keep my mom  and  our family in your prayers.

Thankyou all. God bless you all, and may all of  you have a blessed, happy  holiday  season.

Thanks  Irish  and  Serena.  We appreciate  it.   
    Mom is keeping  busy, and  trying to keep a positive  outlook.   She  has her house all decorated  for  Christmas,  and  insists on having  the  whole  family  (  all 30 of us  )  on Christmas  for  dinner.
  God bless  her  !

  I don't know if  I  will make  it  down  there or  not. My husband  is seeing if  he  can get off  work  or  not,  plus  we are still taking care  of   an injured horse.   Time  will tell.

As  for  me,  I am  trying  to think postitive, and keep  myself  busy.  If  i  sit and  dwell, I start  to get concern and  cry.   Sometimes i feel like  shouting  and  saying "  has not  my family, and  my mom  been thru  enough ?"  But  then i  stop  and  think about all  the  good  times  we  had, and   I  count  our  blessings.

So we just have  to  think postive, have  faith  and  pray, and  wait  for  the  tests  next  month.  I  hate  waiting   though !

Sending prayers and healing thoughts for your mom. Will be praying for your family as well. I do hope your whole family gets to spend Christmas dinner together.

It is impossible to overuse prayer requests.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks  everyone.  Mom continues  to keep  busy  and  thinking positive.  God Bless  her soul.

I don't think I'll make  it  down  there  for  Christmas.   My husband  has  to  work, plus  the  kennels  for  the  dogs  are all booked up,  and it is  kind  of  last  minute  to get some  one  to take  care  of  the  horses.
  Mom understands  ,  and  said   hopefully  if  she  feels  up  to it, and  it is  not  snowing  that  she  and  my my dad want  to  come  up  this  way  sometime  after   the holidays.   Time  will tell on that one.
If  she  feels  up  to it.

Thanks  again  for  keeping her in  your  prayers.

Mom goes  for her tests on january 11,  to find out  wheter she has  cancer or  not, and  what is  causing  the blood in  her  urine.  She is getting  nervous,  as am  I, but I am trying  to think positive  and  be  strong  and  be  there  for  her  to  talk  to.   Please  keep  her in  your  prayers.

Lady Amy, first let me say how sorry I am to here this!

I am new here, and I don't know anyone here very well yet..but this prayer request felt very close to home. A few years ago my mother developed a lump on her throat which turned out to be cancer. It was very difficult for all of us, and if you can imagine we were all falling apart (while my mother stayed strong and kept us from going insane with worry).  The worst is the waiting for the results. Is it? Isn't it? Once you know, you can develop a plan of attack, and things feel more in your control.

So, I completely understand how very scary this time must be for all of you. Just remember how many advances we have in medicine today, you will be surprised how many options are available!

And all of this worry may be for nothing! She may have nothing that a some very simple procedure may take of!

Please know that you and your family are in all of our thoughts and prayers here!!

Lady Amy of York

Thanks Coffeegirl09.
Welcome  to  the  forums ! :)

  Yes, I'm trying  not  to worry about it, and  think positive.   Like  you said  the hardest part is  not knowing  if  it  is, or  isn't  it.  Right now all i can do is  pray  and  be  there  for  my  mom  when  she  needs  me. 
  And I know  there are alot of  new  medical advances  today, so knocking on wood  whatever it maybe, wil be  something  treatable,  cause  I know  my mom keeps  saying   that her biggest  wish in life  is  that she  wants  to be  around  to see  my little  boy  grow  up.

Prayers specifically that your Mom will be there to see your little boy grow up.
Prayers for your strength and that you get to go see her soon!

Thanks  everyone. Mom, goes  for  her tests on Monday. Don't know  if  she  will get  the  results  the  same  day or  not.  Anxiously waiting  and  praying  for  good  results .

Lady Amy of York

MOm goes in  tomorrow ( Monday ) for  her tests. I talked to her last night, and she is  very nervous  and  anxious  and  scared.  She kept saying ," I keep praying  that is not cancer, or  anything else real serious.  I  have  seen all my other grand  children  growup, and I  want  to  see Timothy ( my little  boy  who is  6, who my mom just adores  like  crazy )    grow  up. That is my wish ."

I tried  to reassure her and  tell her, just think positive, and that there is alot  they can   do today in the  medical  field, but    she is nervous, and  scared  which is not like  my  mom. She  has  always  been  the  strong  one in the family.

So Please keep her in your prayers  and  thoughts. Thankyou.
