| Prayers needed please. Well guys, my hubby is in the hospital. I went to get groceries yesterday afternoon and when I got home he said you had better take me to the er. His blood pressure was up to 130/110 about 10 minutes before I got home. That is extremely high for him as his usually runs less than 100. So we spent from 430 till almost 11 in the er before someone told me they were just waiting on a bed. So I got his settled and then came home to get a couple of hours sleep and update the kids. Would you believe Graff had peed on our bed not once but twice. Once on his side and once on my side. So at midnight I was changing sheets on my bed. He has never done that. Back to my hubby, I really couldn't get much info from the nurses last night so am looking forward to talking to the doctor this morning. My hubby is going to be mad at me for not going to work but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, and I need to be there. So guys send some more vibes my way as we need all the luck we can get. |

| Oh Lora, what is it with these husbands!!! Mine was in the hospital too, a couple of weeks ago. He went into atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 140!!! They had to shock his heart to get it back to a normal rhythm. The fast rate made his heart failure flare up and he could hardly breathe and hardly even get to the bathroom. They pulled lots of fluid off his lungs, but pulled too much off and put him into renal failure. He is getting much much better now, but it will take him several weeks to get back on his feet like he was. This is all to say, stick close to your husband and question everything that you need to. I will be sending you all my positive thoughts for a good outcome. Take care of yourself too!

| Well finally some answers. No new heart damage noted but his potassium was critically low. They are trying to get it back up but it is a very slow process with him. Doctor says that normal people when their potassium starts dropping the symptoms they show he has all the time anyway so he doesn't notice anything new until it is critical. He has been very depressed and crying today. But was better before I left. He made me come home so that I could rest a little, yeah right I have been cleaning house or on the phone since I got home. I am taking tomorrow off too and he didn't throw as big a fit as I thought he would. We did alot of talking today. Plus it is a big help with the nurses to have a family member there to take care of things. His brother is coming in Sunday to spend the day and then his dtr said that her and grandbabies will be in next weekend. Doc says if his potassium comes up to normal tomorrow he will let him come home. If not he has to stay until it does so that they can monitor his heart. |

| Lora, I'm sending special prayers your way. I hope they can get the levels back up soon and he can go home to recuperate. That's where everyone wants to be.
