    Thank you. It's just one thing after another after another after another after another this year. It's unbelievable.

    The G.I. doctor basically told me my liver is failing yesterday. I'm bleeding from the colon also. The bleeding is probably what caused the infection in the first place. It just seems like no matter how many times I go to the hospital or how many hundreds of doctor visits I go to. I'm going to die very soon. And I have no plan for my family. I have no savings and no life insurance.

    I'm trying to hold on and trust in God.
    Do you have any family or relatives who could take care of your wife and childfen if you are to die?

    Maybe talk to your traditional priest if you don't and see if your chapel can coordinate help for your family?

    Prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏

    It does seem amazing that you and your family could have so much to deal with in a fairly short time. This may sound odd, but is it possible that you are under some sort of diabolical attack? Continual and various illnesses that plague a family could be a sign of this. I hope that doesn't sound too out there. I've dealt with this in my own family, and the only thing that helped was to step up my prayer life - A LOT. Like a couple hours of prayer a day (or more if possible), and give it all over to Our Lord and Our lady, while doing what you can to deal with your illnesses, and help to find someone to care for your family. It must be very stressful to not know how your family will be cared for.

    • Update: I am still waiting on the results of my liver tests (MRI and Fibroscan) so I really do not know if my Liver is failing and I need a transplant or if it is just diseased. The Doctors at my GI Center are all covering another practice for several months and they also have made several mistakes in my appointments that then they had to call and cancel so now I cannot be seen by my NP until May 14th. It's very hard for me this uncertainty.

    This past month has been a month of severe sickness for my family. All three of my sons had the flu with strep throat but they were all weeks apart. Then my two youngest also had ear infections and vomiting a few weeks later. All of this requiring multiple doctors visits. It seems all we ever do is go to the doctor and Roselyn is still finishing physical therapy for her arm and leg twice a week.

    We also received several letters last week stating the insurance has decided not to cover the majority of my hospital stay. No real explanation as to why but just a notice that they would not cover it. I would imagine my 3 weeks total of hospital stay combined with numerous interventional radiology procedures is going to be an astronomical cost. My wife and I have decided we are not going to try to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical debt nor are we going to try to raise money for it. We are going to contact all the different hospitals and get all of our bills and declare bankruptcy. It's really the best option.

    I have been working as much as I can this past month with the delivery jobs I am doing but we with all that has been going on it hasn't amounted to enough. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Christ's peace be with you and your families during this lent.

    So sorry to hear about your situation... Is it possible to claim yourself as paid carer and get some support from the government that way? (I'm not sure if it's a thing in your area) Have you tried calling the insurance company to see if there's an explanation? Perhaps they will be able to appeal it, even though it may take a long time... I will pray for your family, don't give up :pray:

    • You need a new doctor like...today. You said you were slated for a colonoscopy in January, and now it's April and you're bleeding from the colon?

    I pray you get the medical help you need, and you do not fall into despair. Pax Christi.

    • I am convinced now this is a trial that I have to offer up. There can be no other explanation.

    For the past several weeks, I have been breaking out in hives all over my body. The itching and burning is unbearable so I've been in the ER numerous times and they've given me steroids and Benadryl. I've taken steroids for many days so now I cannot get tested for allergies until June. They also gave me a couple EpiPen's Just in case it becomes life-threatening. I am almost sure now after two weeks of this that all along it has been a dairy allergy that sprung up now, even though I have never been allergic to dairy in my entire life. I haven't had dairy or pretty much anything besides meat And rice for the past week and I haven't had another outbreak of hives.

    I am seriously Starting to wonder if this could all be due to the Covid vaccine and booster that I got years ago. My immune system is shot. I have more or less been sick every day since November.

    Still waiting for the May 14th appointment to find out about my liver tests.

    Please pray for me and my family.

    Of course it's from the trojan horse ("vaccines").
