TFT, My family is in need of PRAYERS BIG TIME.
As some of you may recall my son (Richard) and DIL were just over in France etc;. Just before going to France he saw his pulmonologist because of having to use his emergency inhaler a lot. He has COPD and mild asbestosis and STILL smokes. The doctor finally prescribed oxygen at least when up walking around. I bought him an Inogen Portable Oxygen Concentrator so they could still go to France. They were over there for 10 days.
The morning after they got back 6/14 he started having an episode of not being able to breath and confusion, agitation etc;. Now he has had a few of these episodes before but it was according to my DIL, REAL SCARY this time.
My DIL took him to the ER and they did a C-Scan, MRI, Lab work. His lab work showed high levels of Co2. He was becoming more agitated because of not being able to breath so they gave him Fentanyl & Propofol then put him on a Ventilator. He started breathing on his own on the (next day) 15th but before they could remove the tube he pulled it out himself at 3:00p.m.. He was then put on a Bi-Pap for a short while.
He also had spiked a fever later on the 14th and he tested Positive for Covid. My DIL gave the Ok to start Remdesivir. He also had Sepsis but they think it is because of the Covid.
In the hospitals eyes he was doing much better so they DISCHARGED him yesterday 6/18 BUT! when I read the lab reports for that morning he had HIGH results for 5 areas of which the Co2 was still high and 2 areas that were LOW. MORE areas then when he was admitted. It also stated on the discharge he was at HIGH risk of a return.
NOW lets go to my Son-in-Law (Mike). Recently he went in for a routine check-up and they said it had been a while since he had, had, an x-ray of his lungs. They spotted something there and then a C-scan was done which they did see a spot of some sort (quite small) Another C-Scan 5-6 months later showed it had increased, so a PETT scan was ordered. This took place the same day my Son went into the hospital on the 14th. The PETT scan showed ACTIVITY.
Tomorrow morning they will be doing a BIOPSOY on his lung. Please pray that it is not malignant.
Sometimes I feel like I am going to fall to pieces with all that has happened since 2020.
Oh Spunky. I’m so sorry to hear such awful news. Sometimes it feels like too much to bear. I will pray for your family.
I’m so sorry to see this Spunky. Prayers for your son and son-in-law. Praying for you and all family too.
Please keep us updated. (((Hugs)))
Praying for you, dear Spunky.
Praying that the good Lord will make you strong to get through these trying times with your family.
Prayers up for your son and SIL also.
Praying for the best outcome to their health problems.
We are here for you!
I’m so sorry, Spunky!
I will raise you up in prayer
and all of your family, too.
One year, we lost my Mom. my nephew
(My brothers only son), and lost
my Grandmother that year, too.
I promise to pray very very hard for you!
*gentle hug*
I am so sorry, Spunk.
I know it can be overwhelming. Please know that you ALL are being prayed for, by so many, right here.
May He hold each of in his loving, healing arms.
Please keep us posted.
Get your son some Silver Biotics liquid. Let him gulp it down. It will help relieve any Covid-19 pneumonia.
Actually, smokers fare better than non-smokers with Covid-19 because of the nicotine.
Praying the LORD will completely heal both your son and SIL.
(((((Spunky and Fam)))))
It doesn’t rain but what it pours. Life is coming at us just too fast these days. Of course, I will be holding you in my prayers before Our Father’s throne of grace.
Heb. 4:13 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Prayers sent. God be with you.
((((HUGS)))) Spunky.
I hope and pray all turns out well for them.
Since 2020 it has been terrible for so many.
Sending prayers and gentle hugs.
Praying for Richard and Mike, Spunky.
That’s awful spunky, it’s hard to watch your kids be sick. Lots of prayers for you and for them.
