Asking for prayer for Musicman's wife! PLEASE send prayers or positive vibes!

Musicman's wife is in the ER at the moment. She is there because she felt like she couldn't breathe. Right now her oxygen levels are at 82% and they have her on oxygen.

Please pray that she recovers fully, and that the problem is nothing serious!

THANK you for your prayers!!!

Thursday Update: from Musicman: "Good afternoon. She is slowly improving. Her oxygen level is 94 and her resting heart rate is 109. They have downgraded her to a regular room. 🙂 The nurses seem nice here and they seem pretty attentive. The ICU nurses were there immediately when you pushed the nurse button."

@Thinkerbell Thank you. Prayers are still coming in for her from Prayer Warriors 365, too. So, with ALL of us beseeching God, He will surely heal her.

@LILPapi69 Yup. At least she can breathe. I suspect with the blood thinners that the blood clots in her lungs will gradually be reduced.

Unfortunately, blood thinners alone are not sufficient to remove the clots. The only thing they do is prevent the clots that are already there from getting bigger.

@4meAndyou Did they try doin thrombolytic therapy on her?
4meAndyou · F
@LILPapi69 That I don't know. It seems like a good idea...but who knows? I will ask Musicman.
LILPapi69 · 46-50, M
@4meAndyou I don't know if you know what that is. I was at home healthy for 3 years. A thrombolytic therapy uses clot-busting drugs to rapidly dissolve clots, and thrombectomy is a procedure (often minimally invasive with a catheter) to mechanically remove or suction out the clot. I know she will pull through. She sounds like a strong woman. Tell musicman we're pulling through for her. May I have her first name? I'll stop by the church In a little while and let my pastor know what's going on so we could pray for her.

@4meAndyou thank u.

@LILPapi69 They are not able to suction out the clots, because her spine is filled with rods and hooks, and she can't lie down without being sedated for the pain. Unfortunately, the suctioning procedure is done via catheter, through the groin, and she would have to be awake for them to do that.

@4meAndyou Ok. I Can't wait for her to pull threw.

@4meAndyou I think that's what our friend TheOneYour... had done

@4meAndyou Always good when ICU presence makes a difference. Still looks a little dicey with resting heart rate over 100, but it seems like she's on the mend. That's great news. Lots of people she never met are praying for her. I'm one. 🙏

Just found this out this morning: Musicman says: "Yes! That is what they are doing now. They have finally taken her off the Heparinole and now she is on a oral pill called Eloquist. The doctor said she will be on that pill for life." @LILPapi69
LILPapi69 · 46-50, M
@4meAndyou good But the sorry about the pill issue
carpediem · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou I have some friends on Eloquist. Also my mom is taking that, but it's expensive.
4meAndyou · F
@carpediem Hopefully, if she has Medicare part D AND a supplemental insurance policy, the copays won't be too burdensome.
carpediem · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou That's one of those drugs they don't fully support. My mom gets a coupon from the manufacturer to keep costs in line.
4meAndyou · F
@carpediem I just sent Musicman that information.
