Thanks, A_D please pass this one along to everybody else who pinged me for a prayer will you, my friend?

Please pass along to prayer warriors this update: Was touch and go for awhile as they seemed to think it might be viral menegitis. But the final diagnosis is an extremely acute MIGRAINE. She's got meds and was rehydrated via IV. She sat like a little trouper in a hospital hallway on a gurney for ELEVEN HOURS until we saw a Doc. Then it was into an examination room and more tests for another four hours. Rough day. Good payoff.

I never kinew you could get cramps in the legs and knees and vomit and all that stuff she went thru at 0400 from a migraine! But apparently 20 years ago she was hospitalized for several days with the same problem. Hospital staff was awesome...but the corridors were so overcrowded with patients...they were packed, stacked and racked EVERYWHERE! It was like that move OUTBREAK or ARTICLE 99. If you've never seen them...rent them...epidemic coming soon to a hospital near you....

Thank God that Kathy will be OK, I do hope it is soon.

That a sick person had to go through an 11 hour wait, is a
danger to all of us.

I have heard the same complaint on the Las Vegas radio and of course in California and the larger cities in Arizona.

Many of the emergency rooms have had to close in the west, due to going broke, because of the illegals use of them and their not paying.

My prayers for both of you shall continue.

Thank God for a good outcome. With extended wait times at our nation's hospital emergency rooms, I've heard people joke they'd have gotten quicker treatment had they gone to a veterinarian instead of an MD.

Closing my eyes and imagining that emergency waiting room with biological or chemical emergency and the potential for quickness of treatment for incoming victims.

I am grateful she will be alright. I am hoping for a speedy recovery. I know those migraines leave headaches for days and soreness.

Bless her heart and yours for being so patient for so long. I don't know how you did it.

I'm praying that her pain has lessened today and that she will not be burdened by migraines again.

You are both in my prayers.
