THIS IS ONLY A TEST
Just when you think the Lord is finished with you; he starts preparing you for something else. Again, I'm not the most religious, nor church-going individual. However, God seems to be putting me to the test lately. Myocardial Infarction- Also called a heart attact. My Mom has spent the last three days in the Hospital. In the ICU unit to be exact. My Mom asked me to come over around 10:00 Saturday morning. She wanted me to take her blood pressure. Hurridly, I went over there in my Pajamas. When I got there, her face was beet red, she was sweating, and she was out of breath. After taking her blood pressure twice, I came up with 120/100. However, my blood pressure taking is, more then rusty. I'm a stay-at-home, who doesn't use her skills.
She had also fallen out of bed twice during the night. Those two falls, had caused sever bruising. My Dad had just considered, taking her to the Doctor's office. We knew that, Dr. Spence's office was closed on Saturday, but someone would be covering his patients for the weekend. Again, he very well could be on rotation. Per my request, I told my Dad to just skipp all of that, and take her to the nearby Hospital. He did so, within just a few minutes. The emergency room Doctors and nurses began doing all sorts of test immediately.
They performed a EKG, chest ex-ray, and cat scan. All three of those tests, came back fine. It was the three out of four blood test, that she failed. I was reinformed that, when you have a heart attact that; certain cardiac enzymes are present in your blood stream. Those enzymes were infact present in my Mom's blood stream. They admitted her to a private room that evening, then transferred her back down to the ICU unit, to where they could monitor her more closely.
They think that, she can possibly come home today. They just need to performe, the last of the tests that they need to do. I was under the impression that, those test would be done at, a more well equipped, larger, Hospital. My Dad, told me otherwise this morning. Change of plans, they are taking her out of the ICU unit, and putting her back in a private room. Things could be looking up. I just want the Lord to know that, I'm very tired. See ya'll soon.
