Please pray for Clay.

Howdy everybody. TGIF!!! Well, Clay woke up at 4:30 AM this morning, went to the bathroom, & before he could even get back to bed, was hit with miserable back pain. He tried to lay down and go to sleep......but couldn't. Finally got up and took a pain pill that he had leftover from surgery (Hydrocodone 5mg), and it didn't touch the pain. Soon afterwards, he started throwing up. He didn't wake me until about 6 AM. We got up and starting getting ready to go to Lubbock. We started on our way, not knowing if we could get in to see the urologist, or if we would have to go to the Lubbock ER. I called our pastor (Pastor Gwen) on the way to Lubbock, and she said she would be praying for us. We did get in to see the urologist's PA (great guy!!!) (the first answered prayer for today). They said that all of Clay's symptoms sounded like a kidney stone. They did an ultrasound of his kidneys, and they looked great and normal (our second answered prayer!!!). SO.....if he has a kidney stone, it is smaller and has started traveling down the urinary tract and is not totally blocking the urinary canal. The PA really feels it is back/muscle strain & spasms, because Clay has been on the tractor the last 2 days (first time since surgery) AND has hit the gym really hard the last 2 weeks. He told him to go home, take it really easy, drink lots of water and he gave him Flexeril (a muscle relaxant) AND Hydrocodone 10mg. We stopped by IHOP and ate breakfast, and Clay took his medicine (so it wouldn't be on an empty stomach). By the time we were to Tahoka, the pain had eased up some and he was able to nap (just another answered prayer.......GOD IS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!). We are home now (another answered prayer), and rest is on the agenda for the weekend. Thanks for your prayers for us!!!

We love all of you and pray you have a blessed, safe, fun and supernatural Friday and weekend.

What a mighty God we serve!!! WOO HOO!!! \o/ GO GOD!!!!

God's love & mine,
