I’m asking for prayers for my little man tonight. As many of you know he has been having some digestive issues for the past year or so. He’s “clogged up” (sorry, TMI) as they put it and we’re not sure what is causing this. They think a food allergy possibly. Anyway, we’ve had X-Ray upon X-Ray and a couple weeks ago had a colonoscopy done as well as a few biopsy’s. All that came back normal (praise the Lord!) but they want to do a complete “clean out” tomorrow. The doctors described this as “torture” and that word makes a mother so sad to hear. He will not be put under at all during this procedure tomorrow so I’m sure its bound to be traumatic for him. My husband is going to take him because I think if I took him, it would make the situation worse because I’d be so upset seeing him in so much pain. I hate that he has to go through this, especially at such a young age of barely two years old.
So, all that to say, could you pray for my little man at 9am central time tomorrow morning? I’m a nervous mama and hate that he has to have this done, but know the end result will make him feel so much better. I appreciate you guys so much and will post an update tomorrow evening.
Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about everything, but in everything by prayer, and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
And the PEACE of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus! – The very next verse in Philippians!!!
Lord, we ask that you would give Meghan PEACE tonight, and tomorrow morning. We ask for protection through the procedure. Calm her little man, comfort him. Our trust is in You!
You.are.so.sweet. xoxoxo Thank you!
Tried to comment before and accidentally navigated away from the page. So, if you get this more than once, I apologize! Anyways, just wanted to say that I will be praying for your little one. I know what it’s like to go through those not-so-fun tests with them. My now 12 year old dd had similar issues when she was little. Hopefully yours will surprise you and handle it much better than expected.
Thank you Bev! Yes, hopefully it will go much better. But he’s had a fever of 103-104 all week and then this has me all in a tizzy. Thank you for your sweet prayers. AND SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!
I’ll be praying for God to embrace you, your precious boy and your husband with peace and comfort.
thank you Kristina xoxo
Prayers are covering your family tonight as well as tomorrow. We are facing surgery for our baby girl, I know how hard this is. Stay strong, hug your kids, and know that so many people will be praying for you! Psalm 121
I am praying for him and would love to talk with you sometime about this. My almost 4 year old Sydney is going through something similar but we’re at the beginning stages of it all. Would love to pick your brain about it and get some advice.
Praying for him, Meghan!
I will pray for him in the morning. I’m so sorry he is having to go through this!
Blessings,
Cyndi
Ahh, Meghan, I am praying for your mama heart–mine is aching for you. It’s so hard to see them go through pain. Last week I sent Simon in with Jasper for his cast because the anesthesia wouldn’t put him completely under and I knew I’d lose it.
Praying for you all tomorrow.
My daughter had issues like this was eventually diagnosed with a Childs version of IBS. Some days she was so blocked she was in agony. Exercise, diet and natural laxatives helped but she will struggle fOr life. Her nerves and stress makes it worse and refusing to use the school bathroom.
I pray for comfort and pain free for your son and a healthy result from tests but we answers.
PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING!!
My the Lord give you peace and comfort!
Meghan! I am so sorry, Sweetie. I will pray definitely. Have you tried chiropractic care?
Praying for your sweet boy, Meghan! I know all too well the stress of handing your baby over to doctors, knowing they are going to hurt him for his own good. 🙁 Praying that you will have peace tomorrow and that the procedure will be quick and as painless as possible. *hugs*
I am sending a lot of prayers for all of you.
My son had urinary tract obstruction when he was 18 months and he needed procedures and some of them were done without anesthesia. I understand how you feel, but if you can find some courage, I would advise you to go with him. Even if you are stressed out, there is nothing like mommy’s comfort for little ones.
I know it is difficult, but little ones have that connection with mom, that help them feel better.
Anyway, I hope everything turns out well, and it is only a food allergy.
Good luck and the best for your family
I will definitely be praying for him and for you and your husband!
Prayers and happy thoughts, guidance for the Dr’s, peace for Mom and Dad and the arms of Jesus around your sweet boy …
Much love to you xxx
Oh Meghan…I am so sorry!!!! I cannot imagine how you must feel right now. I will be praying for your little man…that God would do as only He can and allow the procedure to be tolerable…not torture…proving docs wrong and giving God glory to the only source of healing and peace!
I am probably the biggest worry wart mom on the planet…and often I am reminded that they are not mine at all. They are His. On loan for only a moment in time. He loves them more than I ever could and wants what is best and good for them more than I could ever know or provide for them.
I am also praying for answers! 🙂
Hi Meghan,
I want you to know that your little man is in my prayers this evening. I know all to well the pain you are feeling right now. My middle daughter was born with a genetic syndrome and we have had to endure many procedures, both under medication and not. Just know that you need to put your trust in the lord that it all will O.K. Children are stronger than we give them credit. I am sorry to hear that your little guy will have be awake for the procedure. Sometimes it just has to be that way. My prayers are with you and your family tonight, and I will also be praying in the morning. Something I heard at Church this weekend, which has really spoken to my heart is “Jesus does not want you to worry.” I know, easier said than done. Your little guy is so adorable!
Blessings to you,
Kimberly
Praying Meghan! Praying for a peace that only God can give. For you, for your son, for your family. Know that at the time you requested I will also be praying. Praying for answers and wisdom of the doctors too!
Hugs friend!

I’m praying, not only for your son, but for you and your husband as well. May God bring peace, comfort, and a resolution to the issue your son is having. I’m also praying that all of the health care personnel (nurses, doctors, etc.) be super sweet to your son and husband and all fear will cease and desist.
Looking forward to hearing a good report!
I will be praying too. It is so hard when your kids are sick ~ mom’s just worry.
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you ~ Psalm 56:3
Your friend in Christ,
Karen
Father I boldly confess that Meghan is NOT ANXIOUS because SHE BELIEVES and OBEYS Your Word and according to Philippians 4:6 she will take everything TO YOU and not to her own understanding, Father. We thank You in advance for being the Ultimate Physician, that the Doctors may describe this procedure as “torture” but Lord You describe us as HEALED and COMFORTED under Your loving care. Father I thank You for surrounding Meghan with peace beyond all understanding. I thank You for never taking Your Mighty Hand of protection and love off of us. I thank You that even as a Mother would never want her child to be hurt, You are our Father and You never want us to suffer. Thank You Lord, in Jesus precious name we pray. Amen.
