Prayers

Whether the need is great or small, there is power in prayer, especially when God's people raise their voices together.

Prayers

#1

Post by carlson1 »

Please pray for me. I came by ambulance on Friday night to Baylor. I have some type of infection, but they do not know where from. My white cell count is four times what it should be. My heart rate runs around 78 and it is 149 as I type. My blood pressure is always good around 114/79 and it I has been running about 97/89; 93/69; 75/38. At this time they gave me laying flat with my head tilted back to the floor and they say that should help the BP come up some.

Prayers mostly for my wife. We do not have the help we used to have.

Sending prayers your way!

Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

You’re definitely in our prayers, Carl!
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Going home tomorrow however I have a lot of doctors to see. Having some serious issues that I have never been through. One thing to pray if you will is my white cell count is 7 times higher than it should be. I have been on massive does of antibiotics since getting here, but I don’t know how much it has helped. I also was severely dehydrated which doesn’t make a lot of sense. My heart rate was 158 and my BP was really low. At one time it was 76/38. They say a lot of that was the dehydration. I have a to follow up with my primary doctor, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, and a nephrologist. Prayers are so very much appreciated. Thank you for all of your kindness.
