Title: Please help
Post by: Dennis Vogel on November 29, 2025, 10:54:07 PM
I have never been in so much pain for so long as right now. I have a kidney stone and it is more than I can bear. Just a few hours sleep for two days now from the pain.

My son Brian is only 53 years old and his health is beyond awful. He has congestive heart failure and has a very hard time breathing among other things.

Please help and pray for both of us.

We are going to try and see Dr. Jimmy Steger Monday.

Yes, I've tried everything within reason on Google. I beg God to help continuously.

Thank you.

I’m so sorry you and Brian are facing so much pain. I’m holding both of you in prayer and asking God to bring comfort, strength, and healing. May His peace surround you, and may Monday bring real relief. I’m here with you in spirit.

UPDATE - Dennis asked me to let you all know he is doing a little better.  He is now in the hospital and they discovered it is not a kidney stone but a blockage in his bladder.  He will be undergoing surgery in the morning.

Thank you for all your prayers and please continue praying for him and his son.

No surgery until December 5th. I was told the urologist is backed up because it's the end of the year and people are getting in line because their insurance ends on January 1st.

I complained and told them Brian needs to get to the hospital right away but did not act.

My 13 year old granddaughter needs to be with me or her father only. She was badly abused by a narcissistic mother and has a number of issues one of which is she will only talk to her father or other young ladies on the internet. If you try to force her to talk it will set her back. It may take a few more years but she will get over it.

So Brian and I cannot both be in the hospital at the same time because there is no one to stay with my granddaughter. My daughter works from her home and cannot take care of my granddaughter, and she already has her hands full with her 15 year old autistic son.

So they removed the catheter and sent me home last night about 8PM with no surgery.

Now my problem is I cannot pee. I was awakened at 2AM this morning to go to the bathroom but no more than one thimble full of urine came out. I got the urge to pee again around 3AM and just a little more came out. And now I'm starting to get some pain in my left kidney.

It's now about 3:30AM. So please pray I can empty my bladder to some degree in the next few hours so Brian can get to the hospital today. I'll have to drive him to the hospital because he's too weak to drive himself let alone walk from the parking lot to the emergency room (my granddaughter will be okay by herself for the 40 minutes it will take me to get to the hospital and back).

3:43AM and Brian is up. He is having problems breathing. I may have to take him to the hospital sooner than later. And then what?

I may have to find someone to insert a catheter and get back home to my granddaughter ASAP. A nightmare.

9AM and went to the bathroom kind of okay. But the trend is it's getting better. Brian thinks it will be okay for him to go to the hospital in a few hours. So I just have to get thru for perhaps another 24 hours then I will bring Brian back from the hospital and go back to the hospital myself and wait for December 5th.

Thank everyone for your prayers but please continue until we are both out of the hospital when I will be cured, but I'm sure Brian will be back in the hospital many times in the coming years.

Jas 5:16 ... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

So it's my prostrate that's keeping me from going to the bathroom (BPH). It's squeezing really hard.

My left kidney was hurting this morning and right now I'm right on the edge of kidney pain. I go a few times an hour but very little comes out.

The hard part has been making Brian go to the hospital. One of us must be at home with my granddaughter.

So Brian is just now (6:00PM) going to the hospital with my daughter.

Everyone please continue your prayers.

Brian is finally in the hospital since last night and he's still waiting for a room. But at least he's safe.

I am slowing improving and I think in time I'll be back to normal more or less. I don't think I'll need to go back to the hospital.

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Brain has "AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) means your heart's upper chambers (atria) beat irregularly" (Google)  and they have not been able to help him in two days until that's taken care of.

Please pray for Brian.

9:30PM and my left kidney is hurting pretty bad and I am the only person that can stay with my granddaughter. I cannot go back to the hospital. Please ask God to  help me.
