I am here to ask for prayers for my son, Michael. He is 20 years old. He was on his way back to school at Job Corps in Kentucky. When he left, we thought he was having an asthma attack. I thought it was just nerves causing it. During his flight to Nashville, he had such a hard time breathing, the flight attendants gave him oxygen. They almost turned the plane around. An ambulance at Nashville took him to the hospital.
It turns out he has blood clots in both his lungs. Thankfully, they are small and the doctor expects a full recovery. This was caused by a very long car trip this past weekend.
I would ask for the Free Republic prayer warriors to cover him with their prayers. He is all alone in a strange city and is very scared. Of course his momma (me) isn't faring much better.
This is a young man who has caused his family much grief over the past few years and is finally getting his life together. He just won a full scholarship to the college of his choice, and hopes to be an electrical engineer. His dad and I are so proud of him and are so worried right now.
We can't be with him right now, and it's very hard on us. Please pray for a speedy recovery and no lasting effects from the embolism. I have seen many miracles on this site and I am believing for another one tonight. Thanks, all!
Shameless bump
Prayers for your son from our house. We'll keep him lifted up. Hugs.
Prayers uttered and more on the way. May all of your family be comforted at this important time, and may your son in particular be strengthened to get through this and go on to bless others in the future.
He'll be all right. Did he have a recent injury, such as a broken bone, that might have spawnewd a blood clot? Clots from other places tend to lodge in the lung because the blood vessels are narrowest there.
My prayers for Michael's full recovery.
Prayers for your son.
Praying.
Prayers sent, God tests those whome he loves.
No broken bones. The doctor says it's probably from an 8-hour car ride he took on this past Sunday. Hopefully, this episode will cause him to think a little and stop smoking and lose some weight!!
Prayers out.
Prayers for you, you husband and your son. It's hard enough when our children become seriously ill, but not to be able to be with him has got to be so painful. It sounds like he is in good hands, and we will pray that his recovery is complete with no lasting effects.
Prayers sent.
Keep us posted.
May God bless your son with healing.
Prayers - I will be thinking about all of you. I never really knew the meaning of worry until I had a child, did you? It sounds like he is being well cared for at the hospital, though, and you have lots of folks here thinking good thoughts for you and for Michael.
A prayer for you and your son from another mother.
Praying for your son, Michael, and for you and your worries.
Thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts. I am going to bed as it is after 1:00 a.m. here. I will update tomorrow as soon as I hear anything. God bless all of you!
Prayers of healing for your son, May the Lord, Jesus Christ envelop you with his love and compassion.
Amen.
Sending Prayers for a quick recovery {{HUGS}}
