And speaking of precious sons, if you have never read MCKMAMA, please pray for her son who is 1 year old today. He is in the hospital--very gravely ill. You can click on Mckmama above to read their story.
Just wanted to give you a quick update on our son, Jeff.
They went in to do the stents yesterday. They could not complete the first and worst one they were after. There was 100% blockage and the heart muscle at that point had died. Thank God, it was a very small portion of the heart and they don't think it will affect the overall performance of the heart. They were able to place stents in the next two and they are working properly. Jeff is feeling much better today and is headed home.
He does have diabetes which highly complicates all of this. His blood sugar was still 300 yesterday. He is on insulin shots and pills. They hope someday that he will be able to go off of the insulin shots. His triglycerides when he went in on Monday night were over 2,000. Yes, 2,000--that is not a typo. Hard to believe. They said some of that was triggered by the diabetes being so out of control.
Please help us pray that Jeff will have the discipline to get all of this under control. In a fast-paced life with fast foods all around, it can be a challenge. I, myself, greatly need to improve my overall eating habits and exercise regimen (Yea, like start one).
Please pray for all of us. Thank you for caring.
