Hi all,
I have been diagnosed with rising liver blood test numbers and have been VERY anxious about further tests. They've ruled out viral hepatitis and cancer. They have also ultrasounded my liver and discovered that it is fatty and that I have gallstones. They also discovered I test positive for ANA (autoimmune) and are currently running my blood for autoimmune hepatitis. I pray that I do not have this disease or something worse. Please pray for me as I'm going nuts waiting for bloodwork results to come back.
Chris

Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You. Lord of the Powers, Almighty Father, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, have mercy on Chris. Let your peace fall upon him with your amazing grace of healing.

Lord, Jesus Christ, bless and protect Your servant, Chris, in his time of need. May Your powers guide him, and bring him back to great health, and grant that he will be cured. We ask this through You, Christ, our God, always now, and ever and forever. Amen.

Thank you to all those who prayed for me. So far, decent results on the tests. No positive tests for autoimmune. I am going to be scheduled for a biopsy to make sure that it is not anything worse than what the doctor believes it is already (NASH--a development of fatty liver, which can be halted or even reversed through diet and exercise). Keep praying, please.
Again, I thank you all thus far.
Glory to Jesus Christ!

Prayers for my brother and friend, Chris, that his doctors be guided by the Holy Unmercenary Physicians, that he be found free of any significant illness, and that God grant him many years.

Hope that this all gets sorted out quickly now and a positive diagnosis made. Uncertainty is hard to cope with.
Prayers

Prayers continue, my friend.

The biopsy results were at least one stage ahead of what I think I had. I am a stone's throw away from cirrhosis, but my doctor states that I can halt it if I nip it in the bud now with diet and exercise. Pray for me please.
