Just a quick update to catch all of our prayer partners up to date on what is going on......
Julie's pain continued to get worse and after several calls and visits with doctors, yesterday afternoon the decision was made to admit her back into the hospital to address the pain and dehydration and to do testing today. She had a CT scan this morning to find out what may be causing the pain in her abdomen that was so much more intense when she tried to eat. The results of the scan showed a blood clot on her bowel. They have significantly increased the dose of blood thinner that she was on and said that should resolve the issue, but we are not yet sure how long that may take. We will likely be in the hospital at least until Monday as we want them to do some follow-up scans before discharge to check the progress.
Please pray specifically for two things: (1) that the clot is dissolved quickly and she be able to eat and drink again and (2) that the clot not have been there long enough to completely cut off blood flow to the bowel which would cause death of tissue and cause a possible operation to address.
Thank you all for your prayers. I know God is working through you because as some of you have told us when you have had prayer meetings, etc. it coincides with when something major was going on at the time that needed God's hand of protection and voice of wisdom.

Oh I’m so sorry for these issues. Praying for total eradication of the clot, restoration of Julie’s bowel and ability to eat and drink.
