Speaking of my husband, he saw the cardiologist today. The cardiologist changed a couple of medications, did a blood test to rule out a thyroid condition, and did an ultrasound of the heart. The ultrasound showed blood flowing at "low normal" rate and didn't give any other reason for alarm except to get the heart rhythm down. If it isn't down by the 29th, they may do a "shock" to try to get it back in rhythm.
We were VERY pleased with the cardiologist who asked relevant questions and listened to ours. We have prayed for him as well as our family doctor - that they will have take interest in our case beyond what even professionalism might require; that they will have unique insight into the condition and be alert to anything out of the ordinary. We believe that God can and will work through them to bring Gary the optimum treatment and outcome.
Thanks to ALL who have inquired, prayed, and supported us with encouraging words. We are surrounded by a company of true friends and prayer warriors - many of whom we've never met in person!
Rebecca, I will keep praying too...keep us posted. Cardiologists are amazing people in my book. Wonderfully gifted and dedicated to the cause of life! May God give all the professional medical people on Gary's case His Wisdom as they determine the best course to follow in his treatment.
ReplyDeleteps. haven't seen the potatoes! But I'd sure love to know how they will fit into the sermon!
Rebecca that was on Jackie's blog Teacher's Pet.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that your first comment is from a lady named Jaquelyn and the potatoes came from Jackie's blog called Teacher's Pet, Rebecca. Just check a few days back and you will see it.
ReplyDeleteI will be keeping your hubby in prayer. A good cardiologist is worth his weight in gold...I really do like the one that Michael has.
blessings and hugs,
marcy
Thankful and glad to hear that Gary's situation is not for alarm. May the Lord's peace continue to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Rebecca....it was on my blog...and you are welcome to use it.
ReplyDeleteHugs and love,
Jackie
I'm just off to bed...but I wanted to say it was on Jackie's blog!!! The Teacher's Pet!! I continue praying for you and your husband!!! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteThe photo that you are in search of is on Jackies blog "jackiespet.blogspot.com .
I am so hoping and praying for your husband and you. You are both such wonderfully sweet people. I know that you know about giving it all up to the Lord. He will catch us and guide us to where we are supposed to be. Prayers to you all. Love Di
Your husband has my continued prayers, as well as you sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the blog that your looking for, but have you seen the movie "Faith like a Potato"? You and your husband would love it. It's based on a true story and is Christian. If you get it, please watch the documentry at the end as it gives the rest of this great story that brings so much glory to God.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with your for both your husband and his doctors and their families. Let me know if you find the blog you're looking for and send me a copy of your husbands sermon please.
Oh Rebecca, I didn't realize your husband was having a problem, please know you both are in my heart and prayers always.
ReplyDeleteHope you find out where you saw the potatoes, I'm sure they wouldn't mind your husband using the picture for his sermon.
Take care sweetie......:-) Hugs
I KNEW I saw them. Thanks VERY much, Diana. I had started down the trail myself but then thought, "I think one of my blogging friends might be able to help me." Sure enough!
ReplyDeleteYou, too, Janine!
ReplyDeleteJackie, Thanks for being a faithful friend and permission to use the picture. It really isn't the MAIN point of his sermon but he's going to show it to illustrate "stealing" by weighting the scale - "unjust" gain that benefits the seller/harms the innocent - all from Ephesians 4:28 - "Quit stealing, work with your own hands so that you have something to share with those in need (I know you didn't infer that the stone was there to defraud....but the picture will illustrate the point well.)
ReplyDeleteWanda & Marcy, You too, you two!
ReplyDeleteAnd Jackie - I wrote you right away and then it disappeared! Thanks for permission to use the picture...I'll explain in a post how he's going to use it in explaining some concepts from Ephesians 4:28.
I was so glad to hear you had a good Dr. visit. God can and DOES work through physicians for our best good. Will continue praying for him and for you.
