Xiandi's Place

I need as many people as possible to pray for my brother, Larry. His nic is Noiram here on WC. He is on his way to the hospital right now with chest pains. I don't know of he'll be upset with me for posting this, but right now I don't care. He has been having high blood pressure episodes that have damaged his heart. Please pray for him.

I hate to hear that, Cyndie. More prayers and good thoughts headed your way, my friend!

Just got back to this. Hope all goes well Xiandi. I know how frustrating it can be. My prayers to your brother and you. Will be keeping them fresh.

So how's Larry doing, Cyndie?!?!

on Jul 21, 2011

I heard he was home again last night, with new meds. That's all I know so far. I just got home from work and I'm waiting for him to get on Skype and tell me what happened.

Hope it all works out and the meds do the trick, my friend...

OK, I got the lowdown on what has been going on. I'm not sure Larry would want any of it posted here, so I'll just say this.

The doctors ran a bunch of tests. The CAT scan turned up something, and they want him to get a MRI to determine what it is. The problem is that he has no insurance, and the MRI costs a couple thousand to do. He has to wait until he hears whether his medicaid application is approved before he can move forward with that.

They also found blockage in his heart, but not enough to do anything about. Proper diet and the right meds will prevent that from getting worse.

They STILL do not know why his BP keeps spiking dangerously high, but an MRI might reveal something the CAT scan didn't.

So for now, it's "take your meds" and "take it easy" until he can get financial help.

On a positive note, he did sound really good on the phone, and he is handling all this really well.

Good to hear. I will be praying that Medicaid comes through with the needed funds.

Being alive and on meds beats being dead mpst days.    Here's hoping for many moer.

I hope they do that speedily for him so they can get him sorted...

sometimes things happen for a reason... he's become aware a potential big problem & can keep an eye on it now...

Isn't it always the way... that it's worse for people around feeling helpless looking on than for the person going through it...
