Encouragement

Its been a while since I talked to you friends. Mostly because I had nothing new to tell. But now I have something very encouraging to share with you. So I hope you enjoy this change of tone. I am very excited and I've been praising the Lord all afternoon. I do want to preface this with letting you know that even though today was a break through, we have a long way to go.
My Aunt Terry is very involved in the Medical world. She's superwoman and she actually runs the Sheila R. Veloz Center at Henry Mayo. She has been looking for someone who could possibly help me with my situation. Low and behold, the Lord grants answers to our prayers and my Aunt Terry sends me to an angel.

Today I met with someone outside of the Kaiser program. Expensive, but completely worth it. She was unbelievably sweet, compassionate, and on fire to get me better. The first thing she suggested I may have was chronic appendicitis. I have to share with you that my mom, grandma and I have thought it was appendicitis since about March of last year. Because there is no test, we've asked five different surgeons for the lapriscopic analysis needed to see if the appendix is bad. They have all said no without providing any further suggestions for diagnosis or even offering a reason for denying the surgery. The second thing my Angel said was that I may have endometriosis, which also requires lapriscopic analysis for diagnosis. She repeatedly said she would like me to undergo this procedure. 
Because of the system's organization, she could not give me a referral, but she can send me to another doctor who can send me to Kaiser with a referral. I have already spoken with the people who are going to get involved and the ball is rolling. Please pray that their voices be heard by Kaiser because they will most likely ignore the advice of these outside physicians. If so, my case could be dragged out for a very long time and I am in so much pain. It's also getting progressively worse. I don't want to be a burden on my family and friends anymore either. So I am encouraged. I hope you are all encouraged with me. I am so thankful for your prayers. They give me so much strength. May God bless you and Keep you always.
Love Always
