OT-More Prayers needed for DD (long)

Jul 24, 2008 9 Replies

I'm once again asking for all of you to keep my Dad in your prayers. As many of you know, my Father had a heart attack on May 14th. He recovered nicely from that but 4 weeks ago, 24 hours before they were going to leave to return to South Carolina, he had what we thought was a stroke, but after 10 days, the doctors determined that he has Myastenia Gravis and was in a crisis. He was unable to swallow and had trouble breathing. Forutanely, they have several good treatments for MG. They started him on the pills and he improved quickly until last weekend. He became very weak and started having a few problems with swallowing again, so they moved him to the ICU, so they can do another treatment called Plasmapheresis, where they filter antibodies out of his blood. They will do this everyday for 5 to 7 days. Hopefully, he will notice a huge chance in his energy level and he may be able to start getting around again and moved to a Renab center. Thanks for listening and your prayers!
