Prayers for the Captain’s First Mate

Prayers for the Captain’s First Mate June 6, 2006

This sounds pretty scary:

After six hours in the ER, however, the FM insisted that she was OK and wanted to go home. Neither I nor the doctors could talk her into getting admitted, so home we went, with oxygen and a wheelchair, and an oxygenator when we arrived home. Once we got home, she once again collapsed when getting out of the car in the garage. I hosted her into a folding chair and called our son. The two of us carried her up the stairs to the bedroom and got oxygen on her fast, and she came around almost immediately. Later, when she tried to use the restroom, the same thing happened, and our son and I and our roommate heaved her back into bed and increased the oxygen.

Ed Morrissey and his family are going through a rough patch with the First Mate – she must be so frustrated and tired of hospitals – and they can really use your prayers, right now.
