Prayer

[angelgirl]

Hi all,,

It's been a bit since I have been around. I hope all is well with everyone.
Things had been going normal for me. Pretty well. But now we are going through
some different struggles, and I am requesting prayer, please, for myself, and my family, including my extended family.

I got a call yesterday that my brother was in the hospital, and that his heart
stopped. He is only 41 years old, and although he has always been a very anxious
person, he has always been very healthy. He is just a worrier,, (just like me, only maybe even worse),,. He works a high pressure job, and puts alot of pressure on
himself.

This began as 3 actively bleeding ulcers, but they hadn't been able to get them to
stop bleeding. Hopefully tonight they did, they attepted to cauterize (sp?) them.
So I pray the bleeding is done. He has now had about 6 to 8 blood transfusions, but they couldn't keep his blood count up, even with the blood transfusions. I think it was that he was so extremely weak, that is what then made his heart stop. Whatever it was, I pray they have now fixed it, and Gods hand was with the doctors, and he is now better. I know God is with him, but more prayers never hurt, will you please pray for him,. Thank you.

Then 2 nights ago, I ended up in the ER, and they did a EKG,, and the doctor said something didn't look right, so they told me I needed to wear a halther monitor, it's a little thing that hooks to your chest, and monitors your heart for 24 hours. I did that, and I turned it in. I felt alright yesterday, but today I haven't felt well at all,.
I have had chest pains, arm pains, and and have been sick to my stomach, and hot and cold all day, just ot doing well today which is strange, because I felt fine yesterday for the most part when I was wearing that monitor. I am also just exhausted.

I have to wait for the doctor to call, about the monitor I was wearing,, unless it gets to bad. I pray it will be just fine. I am also struggling, as I am trying as hard as I can not to smoke. This has been a real struggle for me, although I am not doing to bad, since when I do smoke, I feel much more sick. That frightens me. What also frightens me is that my husband is on his way to Missouri, and I live in Wisconsin. He drives a semi, and won't be home until Thurs morn, ( I think ).. That makes everything more stressful, that he is gone. Please pray for my family and myself, I would really appreciate the extra prayers.


God Bless,
Becky

I will certainly pray for you and your brother to return to full health.

Please be careful. I don't want to scare you or seem pessimistic but those symptoms you mention you are having may be indicators of a heart attack. The symptoms in women are not the same as in men and from what I have read yours are close. If there is any doubt in your mind please get to a hospital. Don't take any chances.

My prayers are with you both.

Hi Becky,
I'm praying for you, your brother and your whole family.
I agree that you shouldn't wait to call if you have any more symptoms- it's better to be safe because early intervention/treatment makes a huge difference.
hugs,

Good seeing you about Becky and you know that the prayers are there.

Thank you so much for all of the prayers for my brother, myself, and my family.

My brother is doing better today. Still in Intensive Care, but they feel the cauterization stopped the bleeding. I am amazed what ulcers can do to a person, I never knew they could be so serious, I knew they hurt, but I didn't know they could do what they have done to a pretty healthy guy. God is good.

As for me, I am waiting for the doctor to call. Hopefully he will soon. I am feeling a bit better today than I was last night. I just don't have an ounce of energy. Thanks so much again for the prayer. God is good, God is good..

Lots of love and Prayers,
Becky
