*Update as of 1/19/20....*
In October, Junior started having severe and debilitating abdominal pain. He visited many local ERs in hopes of finding out what was going on only to receive medicine for pain and sent home without answers. The cycle of severe pain and ER visits continued for several more weeks. Finally, in November he endured a 10 hour wait in the UAB ER hoping to find answers and relief at a larger hospital. They noticed a lime sized mass located in the area where his gallbladder had been removed in Feb. Several biopsies and tests concluded that the mass wasn’t cancer. He had several stays at UAB during Nov and Dec due to excessive pain and testing. Finally on Dec. 19th, surgery was scheduled to remove the mass but was unsuccessful as the surgery would have possible life changing consequences. The surgery revealed that the mass was softball sized and inflammatory in nature. Doctors are baffled because they have never seen something like this before. He was diagnosed with an unexplained inflammatory process. He was sent home in a steroid regimen and has continued to have almost constant pain. He was admitted to a local hospital to help control his pain and was referred to Jackson in hopes of finding a solution. He is being transferred on Monday for an undetermined length of stay. Please continue to pray for him.
