UPDATE: Thank you so much for your prayers! It was a rough day for my husband (hard on us, too!), he's been in a lot of pain. Tonight, however, he was hungry and wanted Subway (ugh!) so that was good news. I hate Subway but I love my husband, and I knew if he ate, it would help his strength. After dinner, he was able to sit up and watch a video for awhile. He has now taken 4 antibiotics and I think they are just starting to work. I'm hoping his fever will be gone tomorrow and some pain relieved. He's had something like this before (years ago) but he's older now and it's more frightening this time. His condition deteriorated so fast, it was startling. Praise the Lord he went to the doctor yesterday morning. It's scary to watch him having trouble breathing. This isn't respiratory, it's inflammation around his heart. The antibiotic should take care of it, otherwise he'll need an anti-inflammatory. Again, thanks for your prayers. I was so scared and I've been praying all day. However, a few hours after I posted my request, I felt the fear subsiding. I was able to go about our day with the kids while checking in on my dh frequently. Your prayers (and mine) are being heard by our Lord. Thank You, Lord! And thank you again for your prayers.
Below is what I posted earlier today:
Please pray for my husband. He had a viral illness that has morphed into a secondary infection. He's having trouble breathing and is in pain. He's only been on antibiotics less than 24 hrs but his fever has gone up and he's feeling awful. I'm scared, but he's not (thankfully). Please pray that God would heal his body and that the antibiotics would help soon. Poor guy, he doesn't usually complain unless he's really bad - and he's really bad right now. Thanks so much for your prayers. God bless you!
Todd is also thankful for your prayers. I'm so glad this long day is over! |
