An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

Please Pray!

1 August 2010, 4:04 pm. 19 Comments. Filed under Friends & Family.

I came home from church this afternoon, and the Mr wasn’t feeling too well.  When he doesn’t want to go out for lunch, I know there is something wrong.  He was having some trouble breathing, and had complained of some pain.  He doesn’t get sick.  Ever!  So I basically forced him to get in the truck, and I took him to the ER.  I am very glad I’m persistent about some things!

They ran some tests, ruled out a heart attack.  Ran some more tests, and found a large clot on his lung, attached to the aorta (?).  Some major vein.  I was, and still am, a bit overwhelmed, so bear with me, ok?  The doctor said it was a horseshoe shape?  Saddle?  Something related to horses.

They MediVac’d him to Jackson, where they have the doctors and equipment to deal with the clot.  I can’t figure out if I need to head over there tonight, or do as he told me, and stay home, and go over tomorrow.  I guess I’m not thinking so well at the moment.

Yes, I am stressed.  Yes, I am scared.  I know that God will watch over him.  I also know that many people will be praying for him.   I hope y’all will forgive me if I don’t much care about politics right now.  :?   I think I’m going to go to church now.

    Kate, if he is stable, there’s not too much you can do other than be there to comfort him, BUT, I know the desire to go is gonna be there… You’re the only one that can decide on that one…
