Sorry folks, I'm not sure where to put this, but we've got a prayer request.
My 20 year old son has been in the hospital for the last few days. They didn't know what has started all of this, but he had a heart attack last night.
Right now, we're waiting for tests to come back and I'm scared out of my mind. He's just too young for this.
Praying for your son’s complete recovery and for the Peace of Christ for you, him and the rest of the family.
It's true. In April I thought I had a pulled muscle in my calf; it turned out to be a clot, diagnosed through ultrasound. I had no risk factors, nothing. Seems that a folic acid deficiency might have been the reason. But the doctor said anyone can get them at any time.
Marie, make sure the doctors schedule all the necessary blood tests to check for missing proteins, mutations, and genetic factors which might make his blood more likely to clot.
Going to keep you in prayer.
Thank you for the update, Marie.. May I ask his first name, so that my prayer for him will be more personal?
I’ve had pericarditis. It can be a complicated diagnosis, but since he is under medical care, they should be able to get it under control. And good that they caught the pancreatitis, too. Prayers that all can be treated and reversed.
Yes---never sit for more than a hour if you can help it. Get up and walk around...the calf muscle acts as a pump to push the blood back into circulation and prevent pooling. And stay hydrated.
Praise God that it wasn’t a heart attack. Please keep us informed.
Prayers up for your son Marie.
Prayers for you and for your son. So happy to hear that he has a diagnosis, and now the docs can chart the correct course to return him to perfect health.
Alcohol may not be his friend…something to consider. Three beers seems a lot. Some people cannot tolerate that much.

*I* know alcohol is not his friend. Especially with pancreatitis. Anybody who’s every had it should *never* drink. Even if it’s cause by a bacteria or virus. Alcohol is terrible for the organ.
But you try telling a kid who’s on the cusp of turning twenty one that they can never touch alcohol again. (And while you’re at it, can you please get him to stop speeding, hanging off of cliffs, doing stunts on motorcycles, eating fast food, doing stupid ‘challenges’ that involve fire, and dating inappropriate women? Thanks!) ;-)
Young men make mothers into old women.
(They’ve got him on good drugs now. He’s telling everyone that he’s in for ‘tax evasion’. He’s already made one escape attempt.)
I am praying right now and assure you that prayer works. Especially pray for the intercesion of your son’s Guardian Angel.
intercession -
Prayers for the Great Physician to take the controls, heal your son, and make him whole once again. Grant Marie’s son Your loving favor in this trying time Lord.
Also for Marie and the family, that they be strong in faith and trust in You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
