Healed of liver disease

Several years ago I was diagnosed with a liver disease. It is a lifelong and generally progressive disease. When the bile is not processed correctly in your body it spreads throughout your body and makes you itch. In March I noticed that I had the itching more often. By May the itching was constant. I had tests and my eyes were also starting to turn yellow. After blood work I was called and told to get to the emergency department at Hennepin, which is a hospital in Minneapolis. The doctor told me my levels were critical. I was there five days and they put stints in my bile duct and pancreas. After I had the procedure I got very sick and my eyes and skin yellowed very bad.
During this time Pastor Drew prayed for me and I also requested prayer and anointing with oil like it says in the Bible in the book of James. During this prayer I felt a hot rush spread through first my lower half of my body and then through the upper part of my body. Several weeks later the procedure was repeated and two stints were placed in the bile ducts inside my liver. Previously the doctors told me they probably would not do the procedure again because the risk for infection was high.
They had me meet with the transplant team at the University of Minnesota. They said I would probably need a transplant within 1-3 years. During all this time I was also claiming my healing - repeating Scripture "by His stripes we were healed". After the second procedure I was sick sick with temperatures as high as 104.9 for about a week. We were not sure what was going on.
In August I went back to have the stints removed. The doctor came in and asked me how I was. I said "good" and he said, "You are good". He said there was no more strictures (narrowing of the bile ducts) and no stones. I did not have to set up another appointment. When I went to my transplant appointment the second time the doctor said, "We don't even need to talk about a transplant when your liver is working this well!"
PRAISE GOD! Thank you for all your prayers and I will continue to stand on my healing and claim God's Word!
