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!
Prayers sent.
My wife and I are right here in Nashville and will be glad to do anything we can to help. I'm a small developer and my schedule is very flexible....Friday I'm just running errands around town.
Please let me know....is he at Vandy?
I bet they put him on Ticlid and maybe Plavix....he will be sure to complain of being cold. I'm so glad they were small and managable clots.
God bless....
Prayers for your son are on the way.
Prayers for you and your husband also offered.
Prayers for Michael's quick recovery
Prayers and the comfort of God's love to you and your son...

I talked to Michael this morning. He's still in a fair amount of pain and they're giving him Lortabs for that. He was able to call the pilot and one of the flight attendants from his flight. Turns out he was doing worse than he originally realized. The flight attendant said he had stopped breathing a couple of times and kept passing out.
The pilot said he turned a 56 minute flight into a 43 minute one. The radar people on the ground were telling him to slow down and he told them to forget it!
As far as his medical condition right now, I don't know any more than I did last night. They're going to be running a bunch of tests today. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for your prayers and concern. Waking up to all the beautiful replies on this thread was so comforting to me. I will keep you updated as I find out more.
Lord, please keep Michael within your healing touch. Grace his parents with your calming love. Bless the doctors and nurses with your loving care. Amen.
Prayers sent for Michael. Lord, heal him and give him peace.
Prayers for your son, Siouxz .....
