we are very worried about jon right now..during the nite time his blood pressure kept raising to 197..he's usually only 97/58...he continues to have a serious headache and burning throughout his body...these are signs of autonomic dysreflexia which SCI patients are at risk of getting..which if this keeps up could lead to a stroke...
we are very worried right now..we are now going to cath him every 3 hours instead of 4 hours..we made an appt with his primary care physician which is at 220pm..he's just staying in bed trying to stay calm and relaxed..
WE NEED to find out the root of this problem...what is causing all of this..this is why we have the appt with the doctor..PLEASE pray that we find the root..this could be potentially very dangerous..
his pain level is at a 6 or 7..his nausea is better..he ate a bowl of cereal, yogurt and applesauce for breakfast..so thats good.
i will continue to do my best to keep you posted..
meanwhile i was able to go running this am with kristen, cindy and vicky..like the good old days..were vicki and cindy leave us in the dust! but kristen and i were SO proud of ourselves!! we both managed to STILL run our mile without stopping! then we did our usual walk a little run some more, walk a little and run the rest..it was SOOO awesome!!! we thought we'd have to start ALL over ..but were doing great!!!

Christina,
You and Kristen are awesome runners. We don't really try to leave you in the dust!! Pretty soon you will probably pass us by.
We are praying extra hard for Jon right now. Also, not to put more on your plate but, I am the commitee member in charge of housecleaning and laundry. I just need to talk to you about your needs and what is working for you and what is not. Just call or email when you have some time....if you do!!!
Love, Vicki
You are definitely in my prayers. How scary that must be for both you and Jon. I can't imagine carrying such a tremendous burden. I am grateful that you have the gospel in your lives as a comfort and also for guidance. I hope this can be resolved soon. My heart goes out to you. I know you are on many prayer rolls in various temples but the next time I go I will put your family on the prayer roll too.
Dear Christina it is so good to hear that you did something for you! You need that charging of energy too. Way you go!
