Thanks mate, I truly appreciate it. I’m trying, my lil man has surprised me with how caring he has been, asking her how she feels and offering to help her, telling her it’s all gonna be just fine and I can see him fighting to not show her he’s scared or sad. They’re both tough as nails and I’m grateful for them, and for brothers and sisters like you who have been so supportive.
Thank you, oh yea he’s a perceptive lil booger, but he’s surprised me not just with his toughness, but his empathy for his Mom, asking her how she feels and telling her it will all be ok. Proud of them both. Thank you for prayers and support fren, they are appreciated.
Yea that in its own wouldn’t really have worries me, it was the whole combo of symptoms that threw me for a loop. It has spiked a few times up 170 just from her trying to walk across the hospital room to the bathroom, scary.
Update: she’s still in hospital (should be out this afternoon). 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, I read this last night and have saved it for future use. We appreciate your empathy and support. Bless you and all of yours ❤️
Thank you Bonnieric, your prayers are felt and appreciated. We’ve needed strength these last cpl days and the outpouring from brothers and sisters like you is incredible and I truly believe has helped our family. Thank you and please pass on our thanks to all the members of your group. ❤️
Thank you eagle, your prayers are appreciated more than you’d think. We’ve needed strength these last cpl days and it has flowed from brothers and sisters like you and I truly believe has helped our family. Thank you.

Thank you Patriot, Amen. Your prayers and support are heard, felt, and truly appreciated. I do hope this ordeal will bring both of us back closer to Him.

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.
That’s what we thought too, but yea they didn’t catch anything on any tests.

Thank you DRan, I’m trying to. I’m aware of a slight change after an underlying calmness that washed over me Tues night. I have been, and will continue to, meditate more and focus on this feeling. I never believe in coincidence so when I ask for help/strength and it pours out from brother and sisters like you, when I appeal to Him and receive serenity…that deserves more attention. I will try to rebuild that relationship with Him and be open to His love, all I can do I guess. Thank you again fren. Update: still in hospital (should be out this afternoon).

Def been in the back of my mind, cpl new towers close by…will be looking into this topic more once I have some more time
Thank you Nachos, we really appreciate it. I’ve felt a change since Tuesday night, after I went to my knees, and all the support from beautiful Patriot brothers and sisters like you. I’ve sworn to make a change and focus on rebuilding that relationship with Him. Idk what I’ll find but I am resolved to at least try again and be open, I let my cynicism jade and blind me for too long.

Thank you so much fren. I have to admit that a calming presence came over me Tuesday night, yesterday was busy and stressful but I’m aware of an underlying calmness I don’t usually feel. I’ve made a promise to mediate and focus on this more and try to rebuild my relationship with Him. Thank you for your very kind words of support and empathy, I got emotional again reading your reply (and others), I’m always amazed by the community we have here and I appreciate you gobby.

Yes, I posted update above but main course of action going forward seems to be focused on cutting carbs, more water, more salt etc. so simple yet some of the largest consequences. Thank you for your time info and support fren!

Thank you fren, you are appreciated. Amen.
Amen, thank you.
I know, I’ve just hardened myself over the years to not ask for help and never bow/bend to anyone…but I know deep down that is what I want (maybe need): to humble myself, beg forgiveness and ask for help….it’s just so damn hard to give in like that (although I know it’s not replay giving IN, but maybe rather it’s giving my heart UP to Him). Idk. I’m confused. Thank you for the support though fren
Thank you so much fren. Your kindness is very appreciated.
