Please pray . . .
USA - Bro. Smith: "“Where do I start??? Pray for Brent please. We started on a journey last Wednesday of him breaking out in hives while we were in a conference in KY. He had no breathing issues so he would not go to the dr. Benadryl was keeping them at bay until it would wear off. He finally decided to go get checked on Sunday. Still no breathing issues, pain, or itchiness. They discovered his BP and heart rate were VERY high! They did an EKG and recommended he go to the ER...they believe he had a mild heart attack sometime within the last week. Did a heart cath today and it showed no blockages and the heart is working well. Waiting now to see what the next Dr. will recommend. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf. I will try to update as I can.” Please continue praying for Bro. Brent, his wife Mandy and the family. Hopefully, he will come home today." 08/13/19
Update: “We are home! ♥️ It turns out that he did NOT have a heart attack after all. They believe because of how fast his heart rate was and how high his BP was that his heart was just working so hard that some of the enzyme that was measuring high was leaking out. He had a heart cath yesterday and there was no blockage, no damage, and the vessels are all good too! He is now on medication for the BP/heart, cholesterol, and an aspirin a day. We did find out he is allergic to the contrast dye they used for CT scan...the hives he had (for whatever reason) got so much worse after that. I took pics and showed them to the dr today. He said, “Let’s add that to his allergy list.” We so appreciate all the great doctors and nurses we had and thank God for each of you for your comments and prayers!!!! God is so good to us even though we don’t deserve it. 😘♥️”
