Please send special prayers for my mom
Hi everyone,
I would like to ask for some special PT prayers for my mom. I’ll give you the “long/short” story…
When my dad was sick with cancer, my mom went from going a million miles a minute every day, to taking care of him, which meant mostly sitting next to him on the couch. In the 2 months that he was sick, my mom managed to develop a blood clot in her leg from the change in activity level. That happened during Martin Luther King Weekend of last year. A year later, she still has the blood clot in her leg…as a matter of fact, it has increase to TWO in her leg. Her blood pressure was through the roof at the time as well (I think something like 160/140). She has been on Coumadin (blood thinner), and a blood pressure medicine, along with some vitamins and iron supplements (she’s also anemic). Well, she hasn’t been feeling very good for the past week, so she went to the school nurse (she’s a teacher) today and they found her blood pressure has jumped from a normal level to 130/100. She is having severe headaches, and keeps saying she feels like she is having a stroke. She is off to the doctor at 4:00 today…and hopefully they will admit her to the hospital and get to the bottom of this! Just going through Christmas for the first time without my dad was bad enough…now this!!! I feel like my heart is jumping from my feet to my throat! She is only 45 and so super special! I couldn’t bear for anything to happen to her…nothing. Please send prayers and I’ll update as soon as I can. Thanks kindly... :( :(
