I got a text from my friend and neighbor Lyn a little while ago. He is back in the hospital. His potassium (K) went up to 7, which is dangerously high for anyone. That is indicative in most cases of his kidneys not filtering the potassium OUT of his body; could also be caused by meds. However, since his hospital stay from last Nov thru Jan earlier this year, his kidneys have been going downhill ever since. If someone's K gets too high in the body, it can cause very serious heart arrhythmias to the point of heart failure. High K is known as hyperkalemia. Although I am sorry he is back in the hospital, he is where he needs to be. He has already had two heart attacks over the past 10 years. He is 62 if anyone was curious.
He said his son (32 year old) is with him there.
I have been lifting him up since and ask if you all would do the same. My heart is so sad.
Thank you my dear family!
Lifting prayers now for your dear friend. May God's caring angels minister to Lyn and his family right now and place a hedge of healing and peace about him.
