Question:
A very good friend of mine was talking to me the other day and expressed a lot of worry to me. Yes. A lot of worry. I have good english skill.
Here's the skinny: For the past few months, he has been having literal gaps in his short-term memory. He will sit down at an empty table in the college cafeteria, and then before he knows it his food is gone (tray and all) and will suddenly notice that there is what's left of a cold beverage. Was he talking to someone? Where did his food go? Did he eat? It's not that he blacks out- he simply jumps forward in time, it would seem.
He has an MRI tomorrow (Monday) at 2:30 PM, and will also have results back from various bloodwork.
Prayer would be very appreciated. This young man has been an amazing mentor to me in a lot of areas over the past few months, and is headed towards being an amazing missionary right now with full-blast linguistic studies for Chinese missions, and is thinking of seminary as well.
Prayer would be very, very appreciated. If someone wants to jump in at 2:30 during the scheduled time of the MRI, that would be incredible. But any time is good.
Answer:
You've got it, man. Be sure to update us when you find something new. That sounds like a very strange, confusing problem.
Answer:
I'll be praying for him, Jason.
Answer:
Will be praying.
Answer:
Weird o.O Will pray.
Answer:
The MRI went well- as in, his claustrophobia did not interfere with it- and he will have results tomorrow.
Answer:
Hey, have you found out how it went?
Answer:
Yes! It all came back clean. The only thing he learned was that "MRIs go 'vroooooooooof!'" (his words) and that you constantly feel like you are flashing someone while in the machine, for some strange reason.
The MRI was spotless, and the blood tests were dandy- the blood tests were to check certain levels, such as B vitamins and whatnot that apparently provide go-juice for your noodle. It is the doctors' firm opinion that it is stress. Which makes sense; he's under a lot of it. Continued prayer for that would be awesome.

Glad they came back clean! I'll pray for him in the area of stress .
