Pray for Mike

Post by DoriC » Thu May 26, 2011 6:44 pm

Mike is in the hospital since Tuesday with some sort of seizure at the breakfast table, called 911, they brought him out of it and transported him to the hospital, but he had another one again this morning. All sorts of specialists are on the case but so far they're stumped. I'm scared and need your prayers. He really hasn't been well for about a month, displaying the sleepy symptoms of pre-cpap. They're talking about another sleep study but want to rule out all the other stuff first. Thanks.
