Thank you! (was purr and prayer request that the doctor is wrong - November 2003)

Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers.
After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's
medical problems. It's GALL BLADDER disease. Grrrrrrrr! Why
couldn't they have found the problem back in November instead of
scaring us all with that stupid erronious diagnosis. People have
lived without a gall bladder for years.

He has had all sorts of tests done with 2 different doctors, and they
finally came up with the gall bladder diagnosis. He said he felt like
an anemic pin cushion from all of the blood tests (one of them took 7
vials of blood). I'm not a doctor, but I said all along that it
sounded like gall bladder to me.

That's terrible and wonderful at the same time, Nan! To give you all a
fright like that! Well, you must be relieved now, at least. Many purrs to
soothe your souls.

Thanks for the update. It's too bad it took so long to diagnose the problem,
but it was good that you hung in there until you found the answer instead of
just caving in and believing the first diagnosis. I'm glad it turned out to
be something that could be managed.

Gall bladder disease can be difficult to diagnose.

Having one removed is pretty simple with "keyhole" surgery.

And being without one is no big deal at all. Requires no changes in
lifestyle etc, at all.

The new style surgery is a breeze compared to the old method. I've
been without one for 25 + years. A neighbor had the new method and
she was busy going places in a few days. Best of luck. MLB

I'm so glad to hear your son's health problem is curable.
Purrs and best wishes for your son and calming hugs for you,
