> David's Update.
>
> Nearly two weeks ago I was rushed into hospital by emergency ambulance.
>
> The reason being, was because I was in great agony in the lower abdomen
area and was not passing water.
>
> After having a catheter in placed I passed 1600 mils of water. Now that's
some volume!
>
> It turned out that I was suffering with an infection which had also
affected my prostate & scrotum. You can only imagine the pain I was in.
>
> After a short stay in hospital, I was discharged - only to be admitted
once again 36 hours later.
>
> Once again I was not passing water and so after extensive examinations
etc., it was diagnosed that due to my enlarged bladder, the bladder muscle
had decided to no longer work.
>
> This now means that for every day of my life, I now have to use an
intermittent self catheter.
>
> After some training, the doctors & nurses were baffled by how quickly I
adapted to this new procedure in my life. In part I think that they were
totally baffled because of my blindness.
>
> Because I am a kidney & pancreas transplant recipient I have to be so
careful of infections, I am so pleased that the infection has not affected
my transplants.
>
> You may be asking well what has caused all these things? - Blindness,
kidney & pancreas transplants and now his bladder giving up!
>
> Since the age of 4, I suffered with diabetes and so consequently this is
the underlining factor.
>
> Amazingly though, due to my pancreas transplant of fifteen years, I am no
longer treated for diabetes, no longer have insulin and no longer have a low
fat and low carbohydrate diet.
>
> Yet even though this body may fail me at times, I am confident of this
very thing - I know and trust in someone who never fails. His mercies are
new every morning, great is His faithfulness.
>
> Obviously, I'm still weak from my recent ordeal and would still value your
prayers.
>
> In the meantime, may God continue to bless and encourage you and in turn
may you continue to be a blessing and encouragement to others.
>
> Remember, every day is a newday.
>
> Big blessings,
>
> With Christian love from my wife Rachel.
