PRAISE GOD WE'RE HOME!!!

MRCP showed no gall stone(s) although it did show bile duct (which leads from liver to intestines) to be enlarged; not unusual for someone who has had their gall bladder removed. This duct also has a small stricture, but not enough to where they feel anything needs to be done about it at this point. Huge relief. The procedure they use for something like this is an ERCP....and we really don't want to go there unless it is absolutely necessary. If you remember, Ron's pancreatitis was ERCP-induced!

Bloodwork looks good with liver numbers continuing to trend downward. Which all adds up to the assumption that he must have had a gall stone that passed on its own. Only Ron!

He continues to be free of chest pain and is feeling pretty good although we are both VERY TIRED and look forward to a quiet evening vegging in front of the TV and sleeping in our own bed!

Speaking of tired~

It's been an unbelievably tiring week and the words to the song below (surprise, surprise...music speaking to me??) really reflected how I felt in the midst of one of those seemingly unending nights. Even though I may at times feel God has forgotten us, I can rest in knowing He is always there!

Scroll to the bottom and click on #20 on my playlist to listen as you read the words.

All That I Can Say
David Crowder Band

Lord I'm tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I'm so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I'll stop
Rest here a while

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give, thats my everything

And didn't You see me cry'n?
And didn't You hear me call Your name?
Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You'd remember
Where you sat it down

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now, I know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
This is all that I can say right now [right now], I know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.

Bridge:
I didn't notice You were standing here
I didn't know that
That was You holding me
I didn't notice You were cry'n too
I didn't know that
That was You washing my feet

And this is all that I can say right now, oh I know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
This is all that I can say right now [right now], I know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
And this is all that I can say right now, oh I know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.

yeah thats my everything [2x]
