Prayer Request for Ellie

I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Ellie has been fighting off urinary tract infections since March. She cries every day at some point
when she has to go to the bathroom. This past couple weeks was the first time she had a "clean culture" where she didn't have to go on antibiotics. Every time she would get done with meds she would start complaining of pain again. Every day it gets worse and she hasn't slept good since March either. Has been crying in her sleep ever since March.

We have prayed and prayed and prayed.......

Her primary care doctor doesn't seem to know how to help her. She went for tests and they both looked fine. Her appointment with the specialist isn't until next Wednesday and now tonite at 10 pm she woke up out of a deep sleeping just crying and rolling around in her bed saying it hurt. She asked me to rock her so I did. She couldn't get comfortable, kept crying, went back to her bed and cried some more. We finally gave her Tylenol and more cream because we don't know what else to do. It is now 11:00 and she has fallen asleep.

We have prayed and prayed and prayed......it just hurts that we can't take the pain away for her. It is giving me awful visions of back when Gabe threw up for a month solid and then him laying in the hospital bed for a week while they tried to figure out what was wrong with him. We feel so helpless.

Please pray for her. Pray for wisdom for the doctors. Please for Jason and I to keep our eyes on Jesus and keep trusting for her to be healed.
