Today's checkup at the hospital went fairly well. This latest examination brought the doctors to the conclusion that Noel is NOT dealing with Chronic Appendicitus, as we previously thought. It instead seems that he has an infection in or near his urinary tract.

We have decided that it is best we get a second opinion, due to the way the diagnosis has already changed within the week here at the hospital we have been visiting. So tomorrow we head to the provincial capital and will visit another hospital for a second opinion.

Please keep praying, as Noel continues in quite a bit of pain, especially when he is trying to rest at night.
