"I am not feeling very good right now"
7:44pm, August 17, 2009

 

I got so scared Wednesday that i did not know  what to do. My daughter in law called and said that she had taken my son to the hospital that he was hurting real bad and his blood pressure was 40 over 20 and they were having trouble trying to get it to go up. They did a lot of test trying to find out what was going on with him. It took about 4 hours to get his blood pressure to get up to 102 over 65. He was really bad dehydrated and his kidneys were not working right they found out that he had a kidney stone that had caused the problem to get so bad. He still has not passed the stone yet. As far as i know he is supposed to get to come home tomorrow. I hope he is going to be o.k.

 I dont know if i could stand it if i lost him too.

    You and your son and family are in my prayers. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I know you must be terrified. I pray the stone will go on and pass. I know people who have kidney staones and theirs seem to reoccur. O hope his just passes. I have heard it is awful painful. You are ot alone. Our prayers are with you. Hold on and be strong. That is a hard thing to do. Love,peggy

    How frightening...let us know how he is. I am sure once his kidney stone has passed his kidney function will improve. Good luck to you...Karen
