Thank you for pinging everyone to this prayer request, Kitty.
TCP, your Aunt Mickey is in my prayers. I’m praying that the doctors will be able to determine and treat whatever is causing her health problems.
Father, please ease Aunt Mickey’s fears and worry. Please guide her medical caregivers in finding and treating her needs. Please Bless and comfort her as you hold her in your healing embrace. We ask this in Jesus Name.Amen
Thank you Amy, Auntie needs lots of prayers. She has been so healthy and all of a sudden this thing has got her. She gets horrible headaches, dizzyness, swollen feeling in her ear, neck and even her back. It has incapacitated her. She likes to be out painting her house, doing yard work, walking her new doggie (a Tibetian Terrier she got this spring), and tending to her 9 grandkids. But now she is miserable and has been to her primary doc for months with no results. The ENT is examining her CAT scan and MRI, but she has to wait until July 10 to see him again. Seems like a long wait while a person is not able to lead a normal life. Thanks everyone for your prayers, keep them coming! The Niece, TheConservativeParty
TO ALL AT AMY’S PLACE
NEWS ON MY AUNT MICKEY******Your prayers are answered******
Just got off the phone with Auntie. She had such bad symptoms around 3am Thursday, she had her son take her to the ER again.
This time the new set of eyes I was praying for, the ER doctor, knew what the problem is!!!
He says there is a large nerve up the right side of the human head, and that nerve is inflamed in my Auntie’s neck. That would explain the neck and back pain, and even the dizzyness.
He gave her those nasty nerve blocking shots (I had those for toe surgery and it was excruciating) to calm down that nerve. He has her on vicadin to ease the pain and also to reduce swelling while the nerve heals.
Turns out it was not an inner ear problem at all which explains why the primary doc was getting nowhere fast with that line of reasoning.
She will see the primary doc on Monday, which is the procedure in her insurance situation. She can be off the allergy meds that only made her feel worse, and be only on the vicadin, of which she is taking only half the dose to prevent being loopy.
Auntie sounded very relieved on the phone! I can tell she is sure that ER doc found the problem. And it is not a complicated problem either, just a nerve gone wild. Could be from all the work she likes to do, since her husband has been with The Lord for nearly 7 years now. Auntie is like me and does things for herself, and evidently lifted too much heavy stufff and hurt that nerve.
She is staying with her son until her Monday appt. I will call her that night and check on her.
A millions thanks to everyone at Amy’s Place for your prayers!!! HUGS to ALL!!!
