My son Brian has congestive heart failure and is living in and stuck in Payson, AZ. He is all alone and very sick with something. He's also is very cold and cannot get warm. He has only one person that could help him but she works thru the day.
I remember friend I grew up with who many years ago came home from kidney dialysis, sat down in his chair and said "I'm cold" and died the next minute.
Brian's been saying he's cold for the last few weeks. He cannot get warm.
Payson is at 5000 feet and his doctor told him he should not stay at that altitude. But he has to stay there to protect his daughter.
Please pray Brian gets better now! This ordeal over his daughter has been going on for almost five years. The amount of injustice is too much.

Brian is still very sick. He has trouble breathing and is cold all the time. He's pretty much all alone in Payson.
He had an appointment last week with a heart doctor in Payson and as was on his way when they called and postponed his appointment until some time in March!
He ran out of his heart medicine some of which was high doses of potassium and magnesium oxide but he has managed with over-the-counter supplements. He figured the doctor would have given him something better at the appointment.
I panicked Wednesday night and ordered the supplements from the local Walmart Thursday but it takes them three days to deliver something unlike here in Mobile where you can get a delivery the same day.
But Walmart also lets you pickup items within hours but Brian was way too sick to drive. So I started calling anything that looked like a social service in Payson and got no-where (that type of service was not available at Uber). So I decided to call churches. The first guy I talked to at a church just hung-up on me mid-sentence. The next guy at the next church, a deacon named John got in his car and went to Walmart and picked-up the potassium and magnesium oxide which was waiting for him and delivered it to Brian. Brian said it's helped a tiny bit.
Brian's convinced all the MD's and specialist have long wait times because of COVID. He will not go to the hospital for a number of reasons one of which is hospitals get large amounts of money when a COVID patient dies.
I'm going to start calling heart specialist in Arizona a little later today when they open and then see if John can find someone at his church that will drive Brian to most likely Phoenix and wait then take him home.

FYI: I managed to get Brian an appointment next Monday. But he is very sick. Please continue to pray for him.
-
Glad you were able to get an appointment. Yes of course. Praying brother.

Glad hell be getting the help he needs prayers for you Dennis and Brain 🙏🙏 God bless you both 😇

It's been hell. Brian went to a GP and they sent him to the ER where they drained his chest of water around his heart and lungs. He had not peed in three days so they put an IV in and gave him a diuretic and he started peeing every ten minutes. He went home feeling somewhat better.
The next morning he went to the drug store and got a prescription filled and decided to take the first dose in the parking lot. He became violently ill and threw-up in the car and got bad diarrhea which went everywhere. He knew that was it and he would be dead soon but he made it back home where he had to sit in the car for a few hours.
He's still very sick and cannot talk. To say he's been depressed is a great understatement.
I found someone willing to clean his car today. It cost me $200.00 but the man had to buy something like a hazmat suit, etc. But the smell is not totally out.
The man from the church went to Walmart again this morning and delivered stuff to Brian, and his wife offered to get some church friends and clean for Brian. They also offered to bring him food.
Please continue to pray for Brian. There were a few nights I thought he could die.
Brian said he appreciates everyone's prayers.

Dennis, this is heartbreaking. I feel your pain as my own family is suffering as well
and so many others. You and Brian are in my prayers always.
Do they know what is making Brian so sick and my goodness what are those drugs he took.
That must have been so hard for him. May God help him.
My brother is in the ICU . He got a booster shot on Wednesday and Thursday night he had
a massive heart attack. I cannot say it was from the booster but there is so much controversy.
Hang tough Dennis, God will see you through ,we love you .
In Christ, Pamela

I'll be praying for your brother Pamela.
Brian says his car smells like a sewer and he cannot get in it without throwing-up again. Which means he may miss is doctors appointment Monday. We both have very sensitive stomachs.
-
Will everyone also please pray that Brian and his daughter can return to Mobile forever really soon. I can't give the details but it's driving us all crazy.
-
I’m so sorry Dennis that this trial is going on for you and Brian and your granddaughter. I will pray and pray till Brian is safe.

Just in case your daughter's milk content is restricted due to her illness it may be helpful to start the baby on sterile water or sugar water with doctors advice to get the baby accustomed to the nipple and to being without the warmth of mother's breast. It is always helpful to consider alternatives. We had four children and each was different in their needs and we need to be flexible and seeking additional ways to deal with situations.

Adding my prayers for you both Dennis, and hoping it's God's will Brian will soon be able to join you in Alabama.
Was Brian able to keep his appointment with the cardiologist?
-
Oh my Pamela, sorry to hear of your brothers situation. How is his condition now?
My thoughts, love and prayers for you all.
-
Wendy my prayers for you all. Nothing is more troubling than when one of our children is suffering. Sometimes I think of how God must feel with all the suffering of his creation.

He was but the cardiologist refused him because his insurance was not done being processed by the state.

Thankyou Wanda
So nice to hear from you, I pray you are well.
I just now got a call from Newfoundland, my brother just got out of surgery.
He had quadruple bypass. So far so good. We wait and pray and hopefully
if all goes well he will go home in six days. With COVID , no one from the family
can be with him. His son just had stints put in his heart in Ont. and his wife a pacemaker
so they are all compromised. My 53 year old nephew was diagnosed with bowel cancer
two weeks ago. He was supposed to have surgery but I haven’t heard from him.
He said he would call. He has no family or friends and told me he’s very lonely 😔
I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. So sad.
Dennis, I am so sorry for Brian. Paul said in Thessalonians that the conditions on the earth
would increase and get worse. They were under extreme hardship at the time. But we
have reassurance.
1 Thes.3:12-13 Now May the Lord cause you to increase and superabound in love for one
another and for all, even as we also for you, to establish your hearts unblameable in holiness
in front of our God and Father in the presence of Our Lord Jesus with ALL His saints.
My prayers continue for all of you.
In Christ , Pamela
