Son Headed for Surgery Monday

Oznell — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 16:37:31 GMT

Could I impose on those of you inclined to do so, to say a prayer for our boy? He will be having surgery on Monday for a blockage that has caused one of his kidneys to almost cease functioning.

Apparently he has had the anomaly since birth, but we only found out this winter when he had a sledding accident-- the subsequent tests and scans revealed the problem. We consider ourselves lucky to have found out, and can hope for return of function of that kidney.

He turned 17 this week, and is keeping his chin up about the surgery, but is naturally anxious underneath. We would so appreciate your prayers, and thanks in advance for considering the request, Nell

Prayers for your son and a successful surgical outcome. Also wishing your entire family comfort in this difficult time. Our son had some serious health challenges at your son's age and I know how stressful this can be.

Sending prayers now.

I lost a kidney last year.

I was back at work a month later.

He will be fine, I promise.

@Oznell

I will pray for him. My son is having ear surgery on Tuesday. He's 30 years old & lives 4 1/2 hours away. I can't stand the thought of him going under anesthesia & not knowing what's going on. He's single & lives alone. So I'm leaving Monday afternoon to make the drive... This is his 2nd ear surgery in a few months. I went down for the last one too. I'm glad I did- he didn't think it was any big deal but the anesthesia made him nauseous.

I'm sure your son's surgery will go just fine. It's amazing how high tech everything is these days. They'll take good care of him. Glad the problem was discovered so it can be taken care of. Good luck to your son!

That sledding accident was probably God's way of getting him checked out so they could fix the problem. I'm sure God will follow through for you and he will be fine. It was all probably part of his plan for your son!

@Oznell

I am so sorry you all are having to face this.

When a child has surgery, no matter what type, a mom is hard put to do anything but worry. 💜💚

I am sure he will come thru with flying colors.

Will be thinking of you on Monday and looking for updates.

He will be in my prayers - if not for the sledding accident, you may have not found out - isn't it strange how things like that happen? A friend of mine's sister was standing on some stairs and fell backwards hard - her kidneys stopped from the blow. When they did scans they showed she only had one kidney - they later found the other kidney, it was wrapped around her bladder - since birth.

I certainly will pray for him. Try not to worry, as hard as it is. It could be the start of entirely better time for his health

Hi @ Oznell.. many prayers for your son for his upcoming surgery to clear the blockage that is causing problems w/his kidney. Prayers are powerful and I believe in them as I just finished a 2 month period of my husband undergoing 2 Surgeries and being in ICU. Thankfully he's doing well now partially I feel because of the power of prayer..good luck on Monday!!🙏🙏
