I'd appreciate it if some of you can pray for me tonight. I have a yearly appointment tommorow with my heart doctor. As some of you may have read on here, I was born with defected aorta. And it was fixed back in 2003, but then I had a little anuerysm back in 2007 because the doctors believed the metal stent tore a little hole causing a weakening. It was fixed in 2007 with a heavy duty stent to block blood flow to the anuerysm, causing it to scar over.

The reason I am asking for a prayer is because going to the doctor to get a EKG, ultra sound etc. makes me very nervous, as you never whats going to happen. I pray that everything goes good tommorow like it usually does when I go!

Thank you

What is the doctor telling you about this surgery?

I had a nasty gallbladder attack on saturday night - bummer it was at a Brewers game. Made for a few long innings.

Anyway....the doc says I have gall stones (ultra sound)...I keep having attacks...and my liver enzyme tests have been high since May. I will more than likely have this surgery the beginning of Sept. It should be a laproscopy....the doc said I may be staying over night....he's not sure at this point. That's about all I know right now. Thanks for asking.

It sounds like you will be fine. That’s what is important! :thumbsup:

I'll pray for you too.

Matt, prayers for you. The annual exam for you must be like my annual oncology checkup. No matter what, always a little nervous about it until all results are in.

Seajoy, Bummer on that attack at the game. Hope you get the surgery real soon.

Request prayers for 3 LCMS congregations.

Our assistant pastor accepted a call to another congregation. Prayers for blessings on his ministry at his new congregation, and for our congregation as decisions are being made regarding a new assistant pastor.

And prayers for my aunt's tiny rural congregation. (Pres. Harrison is one of their past pastors.) They recently lost their pastor under very unhappy circumstances. Prayers for healing for the congregation, the pastor's family, and the pastor. Among other things, they need a pastor. God knows their needs. Thanks.
