I got a slight scare last Thursday night when my Dad called from Mobile to tell me my Mom was in the hospital due to chest pains - long story short - she thinks it was a reaction to something she ate. I can see that, since she and I have both had our gall bladder removed. Not having one, there are some foods that produce high volumes of cilium (gas) that is difficult for your body to break down without the gall bladder. I have experienced VERY intense chest pains myself and knew what it was that I ate that caused it. Since Mom had 3 stints put in Sept 2006, they were taking no chances.
She passed the stressed test well (took effort to raise her heart level to 120) so she was released around 6pm Friday.
Today, I received a call from my brother after we got home from church asking if I received his 3 previous messages - now I'm worried. But it's not Mom - it's Dad. He was taken to the hospital this morning via ambulance due to chest pains. They have ruled out heart trouble (which is good - he had a heart attack while in ICU May 2005). From what my brother is relaying, Mom is saying "it's just pneumonia". While we are grateful it is not his heart, my bother and I are both concerned given my Dad's general health these days.
Please keep both my parents in prayer. I may also be traveling to Mobile so keep that in prayer too - my road time and time away from home.
