I am not much for asking this but I would like you all to say a prayer for my wife. I have known her for 33 years now and we have been married for 32 years. I thought I was going to loose her last week.
She has been sick off and on for an extended period of time. Last week her symptoms were so bad that it made me take her to the local ER. Her symptoms had taken a woman who is a very capable business manager for a local Pediatric program and debilitate her to the point; she was not even the same person I knew.
They hospitalized her and kept her for nearly a week. After a battery of tests and blood work we are really no closer than before she was hospitalized to a diagnosis. They finally released her Sunday and I have her home again. Shke is doing better but continues to be in extreme pain. We continue to go to other doctors in a search as too what caused her problems.
While in the hospital they did discover her carotid artery has some blockage and we will be following up on that. They also said she was developing postherpetic neuralgia which is caused by repeated outbreaks of the shingles. This is so painful that I watched them give here shot of Morphine through her IV for the pain and they might have well given her a drink of water at the time. We will follow up on this also. It is great that both of these problems where discovered, however the doctors do not think they caused the problems she was hospitalized for. Although I am not so sure, at least not till I talk some more with her other doctors, I think they may have very well caused her problems
I believe in the power of prayer so I will thank you for any you send her way!
