Last nights adventure...

If you want to call it that. More like big scary night.

But, God is so good and allowed His timing to be perfect. Last night Kris met some guys for Bible study at Leo's Lodge, and I stayed home with Keegan. I got him down for the night and sat down at the computer. I kept hearing something and realized that it was my phone on vibrate in the kitchen.

I looked at my missed calls and saw my friend Christine (whose husband was with Kris) had called twice in a row and while I was looking at the calls she called again. I got nervous and asked if everything was okay, "No, not really... Kris passed out at the restaurant and is throwing up. An ambulance is coming to take him to the hospital."

I ran upstairs and grabbed Keegan and loaded him in the car. If you're not in Lansing, just know we had an awful snowstorm last night (8-10 inches)... I made it to the end of our subdivision and got stuck. I think I've only felt that helpless one other time in my life.

I called Christine's husband, Mark. Our friend, Garrett, who is a nursing student went with Kris in the ambulance, so Mark and our other friend, Tony, came and pushed me out so I could get to the hospital...

The fastest I could go was 20 miles per hour. I got to the hospital and went back into his exam room. Poor guy was hooked up to an IV and had a big gash on his face. My first reaction was panic and trying to solve it... What did you eat? What did you drink?!

This has happened before, but never like THIS. He passed out, lost his vision, his hearing was coming and going, and he was throwing up. When he passed out he smacked his face on something and sprained his ankle...

They ran a lot of tests, initially their main concern was his heart- we know it's not that because he's continued to see his cardiologist and was just told again that his heart is working perfectly... Based off of the tests in the ER, they concur. But for good measure they're sending us to get him a heart monitor to wear for another 48 hours just to rule it out completely.

We both have a feeling that he's diabetic. His mom has Type 1 diabetes, and he just remembered that, and all the symptoms seem so similar.

He's in the process of getting a primary care doctor who can begin testing for that.

So many thankfuls from last night, though:

That this happened at the restaurant while people were around rather than while he was driving home by himself in this snowstorm;

That he has so many selfless, godly friends who completely saved the night. One friend was wiping off his face and cleaning him up and feeding him water and juice, and then went with him to the hospital. One made sure his food was paid before they left. Two came and saved me from a snow bank and then drove to the hospital in a massive snowstorm to make sure he was alright.

I prayed the whole way home at 1:30AM... My prayer was: "please let us get home, Lord. Don't let us get stuck... We done even have to get in the garage, just please get us in front of our house." And He did. My car is now struck at the bottom of our driveway, but we got home safe.

Kris is obviously not working today. But I can't get him to sit down. Please pray that they will get everything figured out soon so that Kris can start getting his body under control- because I like him a lot and want him around a lot longer... So does Keegan :)
