My brother and I will ne going to the hospital as soon as mike gets to my house because we just found out my cousin went into cardiac arrest. We thought the drs had everything figured out with it being vasculitis but he is now in cardiac arrest. We are praying he can come out of this

Oh NMC, I know I'm late reading this, but I am praying for you!

 

[sugar142286]

Thank you so much for the prayers. He unfortunately passed away before my aunt got here. We are all at the hospital now

Oh my Gosh! I am at loss for words right now and can't imagine what you're all going through. Please know that I have your family in prayer.

 

[sugar142286]

praying healing comes quick, adverse drug reactions can be scary. ((((HUGS)))) be careful, take care of yourself like you would for others.

Thank you, Star!

 

[sugar142286]

Oh no! Sending prayers for your quick healing, too! I hope it improves quickly!

Thanks, Brad!

Aww...I love all her pics...such a beautiful baby!

Oh wow!!Hope you are better soon and glad you are ok...prayers for you!


I follow a guy on Facebook and he is pretty accurate with his weather and he is predicting that starting around 1/20 to the end of Feb we are supposed to have an active pattern with cold temps and snow...we'll see.

Thank you, SFM!

It seems the general consensus for my cousin was a clotting issue and that they were 99% certain it was a blood clot in his lungs. The doctor treating my cousin strongly suggests that my other cousins get tested

I 100% agree with this! My mom and sister share the same clotting issues, but my dad and I also have one, which are different from everyone else's. We all had a clot at some point in our lives and have just been lucky, by the grace of God.

 

[sugar142286]

Prayers being sent! I hope today was a better day!!!

Thanks, Holiday!

 

[sugar142286]

Oh my goodness, that is horrible! Praying for healing for you! xx

Thank you, Meceka!

Well, Nathan just went to spend the night at his friends and his back off to the Army tomorrow morning. It was nice to have him home for a bit. It was interesting to discuss the his Army experience compared to mine or my dad's. The Army has changed a bit!

The wife is grocery shopping and I am taking a quick break from school related work. Henry is relishing the last bit of time before back to early bed times.

I hope everyone has a great evening!

Prayers for Nathan's safety!

Good early morning/late night. MMC! Coming live from a hospital bed just to talk to you and before any of you say told you so...

I'm going to be honest, I've had a scare in the last 24 hours or so. Last evening heading to bed, the rash only continued to spread, became more itchy/burning and I was at my worse. I noticed that I also was delveoping ulcers inside my mouth, which can be life threatening, due to air swelling an closure. I called DH, he immediately came home from work and took me to the ER. I wasn't there long and was given medication to help with the itching, rash, and swelling. Not even one minute after all the meds were started, I began to seize. I was given meds to stop them, but I occasionally still seized. They transferred me to the facility back where I live and was told that they may have to fly me to Pittsburgh if I became too bad. Three different physicians are on my case and came in and told me the same thing. They believe I have what is called Steven Johnson's Syndrome, which is a rare condition, only 20,000 people get a year, from a serious reaction to a few drugs. They state that my case is only considered mild/moderate, but that if it would have became more severe and I would have waited another 48 hours, I would have died. They said thankfully I was smart enough to know when it progressed to my mouth, it was time to get checked, because a lot of people don't and then it's too late.

They've been giving me blood thinners, steroids, and a another new anti-convulsant drug to try for my seizures. They said I will at least be here until Friday, possibly longer and then they'll figure out how long they want me off of work, to make sure everything is working through my system right. It sounds like it could 4-6 weeks.

I thank you for all your prayers and continue to ask for them. I thank the Lord above that he was listening and directed me in the right way.

I am heading to get some shut eye. Good night!

sugar you are facing so many health scares, I really hope that your body recovers quickly. It’s a good thing that you are in the medical field yourself and could see when your reaction to the medication became dangerous. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Oh my Gosh! I am at loss for words right now and can't imagine what you're all going through. Please know that I have your family in prayer.

Thank you Sugar! When he was born the drs never thought he would live longer than he 3 weeks in the NICK because he was born with lymphodema

I 100% agree with this! My mom and sister share the same clotting issues, but my dad and I also have one, which are different from everyone else's. We all had a clot at some point in our lives and have just been lucky, by the grace of God.

I will pass this along to my aunt. I don't want to see her suffer anymore losses

Morning MMC! Day 2 of the year was certainly colder than Day 1 but by January standards nothing terrible. Today we see temps above normal again. I can deal with January being mild for a while although a big snowstorm at some point I'm sure will pay us a visit down the road. Kept thinking Wednesday was Monday and now that Thursday is Tuesday. What day is it? The holidays have thrown me off. Have a great (Whatever day it is)!
