Our daughter, Michelle, and her husband, Howie, have been traveling all
\nsummer in the northern mid and western US hauling a 5th wheel camper
\nwith their truck. Yesterday she wrote: “Please pray. I don’t know what’s
\ngoing on but yesterday afternoon Howie started acting strange. I had a
\nhard time understanding him. He mixes words up. Sometimes more than
\nothers, but now he looks at me like I’m speaking another language and
\nhe’s not making much sense. And just now he wanted to use the crock pot
\nto cook steaks for supper. I’m scared to get in the truck with him
\ntomorrow. I don’t know if it’s going to get better or worse, but I know
\nI’m scared, and we’re 2,127 miles from home.”<\/p>\n
Howie is diabetic and doesn’t watch his diet, and he seems to have
\nmisplaced his meter so we thought of sugar level as one possibility.
\nThey had just come down the Rockies and are in Washington State so
\nMichelle was thinking that it could be high altitude sickness.<\/p>\n
Today we received this: “Howie had a stroke. We’ve been at the hospital
\nall day while they run test after test. Waiting on results from the last
\none now. The stroke is in the part of the brain that processes things
\nbut doesn’t affect physically. He thinks he’s fine and wants to drive
\nhome. His son wants to fly out and drive the camper home for us but that
\nmakes Howie mad. The Dr won’t tell him he can’t drive so I’ve got a
\nfight on my hands.”<\/p>\n
Howie has no medical insurance. He is a veteran, but the last time he
\ntried to get an appointment at a VA hospital near home so he could get
\nmore of his pills for his diabetes he was put on a 9 month waiting list!<\/p>\n
So, lots of things to pray for for them.<\/p>\n
