Ladies a friend asked me to pray for a woman at her USAF base. They heard a while back that the baby she is carrying may have Downs. They were at peace and chose not to do further testing I believe. I got this last night:
<<Kat was in the hospital all day and she may have had a stroke or something similar. She is having difficulty speaking, is getting dizzy and is acting nearly drunk. Sounded awful on the phone. They checked her bp and bloodwork and couldn't figure out what was going on.They sent her home and were going to schedule her for an MRI tomorrow.
then this:
Shane just called and is taking her back in because her arms and legs are numb.
then this:
they admitted her to the hospital. CT scan was inconclusive so they are doing am MRI. She can't string 3 words together. PLEASE send this on to any of your praying ladies. THey are catholic.
and then:
Shane called this a.m. Said one of the dr's suggested it's 'stress' since they are completly baffled. WAs like are you kidding me??>>
Obviously this is bad but the military hospital doesn't seem to have anything to offer them. If you have any information or suggestions they would appreciate the input as well as the prayers. Thanks!
Kim

OH, Kim, I am praying.
Can she be taken to a teaching hospital (hospital associated with a medical school)? There they should be find an OB who deals with high-risk pregnancies (and therefore sees the unusual that many OBs don't encounter). I know insurance issues can get in the way of this, sometimes...
And how is the baby? Thriving?
God bless,
Tami

As far as I know the baby is fine right now. I am getting this rather second hand but will let you know what I hear.

Wow, how frightening. Please tell her husband NOT to give up and to insist on more testing and more doctors. Even if military medicine is free, that doesn't mean this poor mommy deserves less than the best of care. If the docs don't know, they should be consulting with others at least by phone for more ideas, not just giving up and blaming stress.
I'm praying!

Yes...I'm praying that this family can work through the organizational challenges to get mom and baby what they need - and fast. Praying for health and peace in the midst of chaos.
Love,

Praying here. OOH, those doctors. I won't start about military healthcare because there are good doctors in it, but...
Praying for both baby and mother and the father.

Kim,
It sounds exactly like what I experience when I get migraine. I get partial vision loss, slurred speech, numbness, dizzyness, nausea, and crashing headache. Migraines are commonly brought on by stress, as well as from hormones. The combination of those things for someone who is prone can be a powerful trigger.
I'm praying hard for her. Her family has enough on its plate without worries like this. God bless them!

Could she have viral encephalitis? Those sound like some of the symptoms.
I will pray for her.

I fwd'd your ideas. Jen says she is admitted to a civilian hospital right now but they have come up with nothing. I would be inclined to think the migraine but its still going on and its been 24 hrs now. I know with my migraines they would peak and then the symptoms would gradually taper off. So, they are waiting at any rate. I did ask about the baby and will update if I hear anything. Thank you!
Kim
