Brother-In-Law Taken to Hospital

[lacychef]

So, I'm not one to ask for prayer concerns often....but if you can remember my brother in law today, that would be super! He was at my dh's work visiting with him, & dh said he started to collapse & couldn't move one side of his face & couldn't talk. My dh was scared it was a stroke. A co-worker rushed him to the hospital, & now he's got his movement back, but they're running tests to see what's wrong. I'm watching my niece, & waiting for my sis-in-law to call.....thanks in advance for thinking of him.

Lacy...even if it was a stroke, it sounds like he got to the hospital very quickly! I pray that he is OK...

sending my thoughts your way and thinking of your family, I hope he is alright and sounds like they did the right thing and fast.

Oh my! Lacy, please keep us posted.

My Step-Dad has bouts of Bells Palsy Bell's Palsy InfoSite & Forums: Bells Palsy / Facial Paralysis FAQs every now and then, wonder if it could be that?

 

[lacychef]

Thanks! You guys are too sweet. Thanks for that info Linda; hopefully we'll hear something soon. My 2 girls & my 2 nieces are using it as a fun excuse to play together.

Lots of prayers coming your way Lacey ~ BIL, SIL, niece, you and the rest of the family!

Any news yet?

 

[lacychef]

Well, they ran some tests on him & sent him home. He's supposed to go back to do some more. Right now they think it was either a mini-stroke, or bells palsy. (good tip Linda!) When they came to pick up my nieces, he said his face was hurting, like someone had punched him, & it was kinda sagging. We'll see what the other tests show. Thanks for all the love

Glad he's home. Yep, that's how my step-dad feels when his bells palsy acts up, it lasts for a few days. Keep us posted.

So it can just come & go?

So it can just come & go?

Yes, I don't know what triggers it though. I'll try and remember to ask my mom next time I talk to her.

 

[raebates]

Haven't been around for a couple of days, but now that I know I'll start praying for him.

 

[lacychef]

He now has shingles on top of it!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Oh, no, Lacy! That is horrible! I will pray for him more!
Keep us posted...is his face moving OK now?
