My wife just rushed to hospital, resting heart rate at 130, red skin, out of breath, misremembering things and stumbling. We’re both unvaxxed and under 35. I’m home watching our son, trying not to freak the fuck out! Any prayers or words of comfort are appreciated; this woman is my entire world, I’m scared shitless and don’t know what to do and have no where else to turn….I just want help. We’ve tried so hard to push through all the bullshit but now this happens—I’m so close to breaking frens, help me please.
Update: still in hospital. CTs, MRI, EKG, US all negative for any clots or embolisms. Doctors still aren’t sure what’s causing it- best working guess so far is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is an excessively reduced amount of blood returning to the heart when moving from laying to sitting to standing. BP and heart rate still spiking anytime she has to get up. Pumping fluids and electrolytes and looking into starting a beta blocker until her OBGYN can assess hormone levels. Heart monitor hooked up for next cpl weeks. Home/bed rest until then. Not a whole lot of info or treatment for it so we just have to wait and see for now.
Thank you fren, you help more than you know. I just put the lil man to bed and am trying to not to pace around the house- I hate the waiting and inaction but don’t know what to do. Trying to have faith but that’s been hard for me lately and I’m struggling. Thank you for your time and kindness!
Of course fren! Damn that takes me back to 5 yrs ago.....I put our then almost 4 yr old to bed and just sat on the edge of the bed waiting for the nurse to call ne back and let me now the ambulance made it thru the mountain drive and he was alive. Was f'n torture. I am.so sorry dude!!!! We are here. Doesn't help much given that we are not you or your lady right now but dang.....sayin a little prayer for yall for sure. Have u found out any info of what this could be? And hey....great job on handling up and being a GREAT DAD!!!!!
Just the faith the size of a mustard seed (which is tiny) is enough for our God to use and multiply. Hold on to Jesus. He is with you in the valley. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He make the me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside still waters He renews my soul He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His names sake Yay thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil, for You are with me Your Rod and your staff, they comfort me You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies You anoint my head with oil, my cup runners over Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in Your house (of the Lord) forever Amen
I’m trying to rebuild that relationship, this has opened my eyes a bit. Well, it’s a good thing a seed is enoigh bc my faith has diminished to that size over the years, I’ve sworn though to replant that seed and try my best to foster growth there. Time will tell, but I feel that my heart is open in a way that it has not been in quite some time.
