Pards, could y'all put my wife Catherine on our prayer list please? She has not really felt well since she got sick during Thanksgiving. I took her to our regular doctor this past Monday (12-17-12). Her blood pressure was a little elevated, and they told her that her kidney function had dropped some. Well, she started feeling worse Friday afternoon, so I took her to the ER. Her blood pressure when we got there was 225/110. They kept her until 3:00 Saturday morning, giving her medication to lower her BP. They finally got it down to 165/95. But the ER doctor also said that according to the bloodwork, Catherine's kidneys are only functioning at 50% capacity. Her regular doctor is referring her to a kidney specialist, and we will find out when the appointment is on Monday, Christmas Eve. Thanks.
