My husband passed his kidney stone!! WooHoo!! That means no surgery for kidney stones!! That is such good news as he sure didn't need that on top of everything else. We see the oncologist tomorrow and it will be great to focus on "just" the cancer treatment. :)

ILG,

This is wonderful news. I know they are painful. I am praying that God touches and heals your husband of the cancer without the treatment just like he did with the kidney stone. Neither are more difficult to God.

Love & Prayers, Rhoni

This is wonderful news!

I had to try and "catch" the last one that I passed so they could test it to see if it was the type where I could take meds for to keep them from forming.

I was appalled at the shape of that thing.....oh my lord, it had a zillion burrs on it - - no wonder it hurts like hades when it's traveling through your body!

I wouldn't wish one on my worse enemy!

My husband caught his. He has had them tested before and he forms the calcium type.

We are all in a good mood here. :)

Thanks Rhoni. Actually my husband took a medication that is supposed to open the ureter. I give the glory to God, but it wasn't completely without treatment. We are VERY thankful that it was without surgery though, because he has had two previous surgeries for kidney stones before back to back. The first surgery didn't work and the second one, when they went in, found the small cancer tumor in his bladder here a few years ago. If he hadn't have had that surgery for the kidney stone where they found the tumor, he would be close to dying now because it would have grown too large to cure. I thank God they found it. I was questioning God at the time of the second surgery, but I learned (at least to some degree!) not to question what God does.

I would love my husband to not have to go through any treatments for cancer. That would be wonderful. Nevertheless, I will try not to question whatever happens.

Algae,

That is good news! Keep us posted with updates. I will continueto pray.

Praise the Lord!

Here is a pic of my husband and I at his surprise b-day party the other night. I invited a few friends (both our old UPC friends and some new non-UPC friends). It was great to see everybody again!

Praise God, ILG!!

And thanks for sharing the birthday picture with us too!

Nice pic, ILG. Thanks for sharing it.

And I'm so glad to hear that your husband passed the stone. that's ONE victory. Now we'll keep praying for more. :)

(by the way, how does your husband feel about you passing along info online about his kidney function? LOL!! I know some men who would be mortified at the very thought of anyone else knowing stuff like this. Not Walt - let's be honest - look at the stuff you all found out about him thru the aneurism. We have no secrets anymore LOL)

Thanks Margie. We have one more praise report today...we heard back about the liver and they said they believe the spots are benign. \O/\O/\O/\O/ Glory!!

Anyway, he starts radiation next week and goes every day for five weeks. So, please pray for his strength to hold up....he seems to do well until the drs get ahold of him and then the treatments do him in. Bleah!

I asked my husband way early on about sharing and he said he was okay with it, he needs all the prayers he can get. After reading this, I asked him again and he said "Health problems are nothing to be ashamed of. It's the stuff you do on purpose that are wrong that people need to be ashamed of." So, he has a real good attitude about it. He's had quite a good attitude about the majority of this. I think the hardest part is we were saving for a house out in the country and with what the insurance won't cover plus living expenses for the time he will be off of work, most of that will go **poof**. That's hard after all the **poof** we've already seen being in the ministry. Well, God knows.....
