Please pray for my family

[shelleyf]

Please pray for my family. Wednesday morning my husband came home from work looking awful. He said all of a sudden his left arm went numb and he was disoriented, dizzy and hardly remembers coming home. I was scared and gave him 2 aspirin in case he had a heart attack or was close to one. I prayed immediately and he started feeling better and the color came back to his body. We went to the Dr. and they said he might have had a mini heart attack or stroke or it could just be stress. We can't afford the ER again but will go if we have to and charge it with the other big bill from January. I don't want to lose my husband and will do everything to keep him safe so I am asking for tons of prayers as I know they work. We went again to the Dr. Thursday for a 2nd opinion and they recommended some tests to be done with blood work. So today we went and got blood work done. I don't have any money and had to use the bill money for this but I am thankful that we did get a huge discount because of being poor. So I am out $100 and am trying to come up with the bill money that is missing for this Tuesday. I am stressed and worried about my husband. He is my best friend. He is going to be ok I believe the Lord will heal him. Please pray the tests show no blockage or anything wrong in his heart or anything else. We don't have any money for surgery and I want him 100 % better. He is looking good and not weak anymore but he goes back to work on Monday. It is his job that is causing this stress and he can't quit. I am so scared of him working there that I am very tempted to have him quit and then find another job. He has done that in the past and it worked last time but with the economy I don't know. I just know I want him not to be stressed or anything else. On the outside I am smiling but I am nervous on the inside. I have to smile and not let him see me so upset because it makes him feel worse that I am scared. He knows I am I told him because he said he can see it but I am trying to cope without getting him even more stressed. He doesn't know we had to use some of the bill money. That would stress him even more and he doesn't deserve that. We never have much money but we never use the bill money for anything except bills but we had to this time. The Dr. said it was very important to get this done and she has no idea if there is anything wrong but we need to find out and they can help him. How do they help you if you don't have insurance and no money? So I am asking for a miracle and a better paying new job immediately. This is the worst job he has ever had but he is thankful he even has one. I need prayers that I find one. I am still looking and it is hard to concentrate with all we have been through. Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you pray please pray and if you don't please be thinking of my family.

Shelley, I will be thinking of you.

There is help at the hospital, all you have to do is ask. (and then fill out a bunch of papers) and they may be able to help with the bill :) I know you will find the way.

I am so sorry to hear this sweetie!! I'm not a prayer person, but know that I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts.

Can you apply for charity care in your area? I hate to hear stuff like this. I really do. Stay strong my dear and know that we are here for you!

Praying for you Shelly!!!

I don't know if there is charity care or not but if I have to check into it I will. They think it is probably stress. The Dr. said alot of people have heart attack symtoms but it is really stress so they want to make sure so he will be ok. He is going to be ok. I just wish we were rich so he wouldn't have to work this job that is causing this.

Here in TN the Health Dept has Dr.s on hand for low income or people with no insurance..also there are Dr offices that get funds from the state called medical grants that you should be able to find also in your area, they charge you based on your income and the people in the home..call the local Health Dept if they dont have a Dr they should be able to tell you a place such as the one I am telling you about. Just ask if they know Dr that dose the sliding scale fees based on income.

And yes ask about the one time bill forgive thing that alot of hospitals do in TN but its a one time in a life time deal...They also have other things they can offer to you that could lower waht you owe a nice pice of change..

This link could be of some help also...I got this link from my local Heath dept.....
