This month.... another concern

Earl has been to several doctors in the past month. His problem is blood in his urine. About a month ago, his urine was very red for about two days. By the time he could get in to see a doctor, it had cleared up as far as he could tell, but analysis still detected blood being present.

He has gone thru two rounds of antibiotics, which has not stopped or cleared up the problem. The urologist will do a scope of his bladder in about a week to try to find the problem. Recent scans have not picked up any cancer. Dr. says he sees this often after people have had radiation.
Last night, Earl complained about his lower back hurting. We hope that is just weak muscles from sitting so many long hours during tax season. I know Earl is probably getting a bit paranoid because of what is happening with Thomas (Melanoma). Every little ache and pain becomes a big fear that something might be going wrong.

Please pray that these things will not turn out to be a serious problem and that they can be managed in some way.
