Hello all.
I like to think I have alot of friends here. I know for sure I got a few real brothers here. Need to ask for your prayers for my Mom.
When I went to see her today she was talking real confused like, and I could see something was really wrong. She wouldn't go to the emergency room with me so I called an ambulance.
Turns out that because of her diabetes, her kidneys were functioning at about 15% or less. What was happening was that her heart medication(digoxin?) had built up to poisonous levels in her blood due to her kidneys not getting rid of it as they should. When we got to the hospital her BP was 192/40 and her pulse was 41. After about 2 hours they said she had moved into something called 3rd stage heart block and was in extreme danger. They decided to administer an antidote to lower the digoxin(sp?) level, so now it's wait and see.
Believe me, I'm not looking for sympathy, just alot of prayers.
Moderators, if you have to move this, go ahead. Just wanted to reach as many friends as possible in the shortest time.
Thanks all,
David Abramson
