November 7, 2016 at 5:21 pmPlease be in prayer for my dad, Bryan. He and my brother went hunting Saturday near Crawford, CO and my dad had a seizure while up in the mountains. Thankfully, my brother has lots of military experience and knew what to do in an emergency like this. He was right beside Dad when he went down. Dad wasn’t breathing and was blue for about a minute, face swollen and jaw seized. My brother thought he wasn’t coming back. But he started breathing again, though he was not conscious. My brother loaded him up into the back of the vehicle and drove the 45mins-hour to the nearest hospital. (No phone service in the mountains) Dad woke up about 45 mins into the drive.
ER said he was dehydrated and ran tests and sent him home (!!!). This was more than mere passing out from dehydration, but the ER wasn’t listening to my brother’s story of what happened other than he passed out. :-/
Anyway, Dad has a doc visit today at 1:00 Mountain Time. Please, please pray for wisdom on the doctor’s part and that the cause will be found. Dad is not one to go to the doc except when he is forced, so he doesn’t have a “regular” doc.

My dad had a bunch of tests run, MRI, blood tests, heart monitor for a day, etc. All tests came back normal, so he has been given permission to go back to work.My mom says he’s felt normal, no problems. Possibly it was a mix of dehydration, lots of life stress at work and bodily overdoing it and not taking time to rest, being at high altitude, not having much to eat, and having only coffee to drink that morning. Could be this was his wake-up call to take better care of himself.
Again, thank you for your prayers! 🙂
