Scary Moments Bring Praise To God!!

Hey Gang,

What a week this has been for my family and I. My father ended up having a 45 minute seizure early Thursday morning about 5:00am. Through waiting with my Mother and Cheryl (a friend of the family) we found out that my Father of 72 out of the blue couldn't just have a seizure without some drastic conclusion. At first they stated there has to be some bleeding on the brain but were not sure until a CT Scan was completed.

At first when I saw him I thought the worst. It was like my Father of 72 was instantly a dad of 102. His speach was very shallow and broken up, his eyes were glossy, and breathing very shallow.

I knew my sister would be praying as God has always been on her heart. As I spend a little time in prayer myself. Knowing God would assist this man I can Dad but he calls Son. I was more praying for God to allow my Dad to see how a negative situation with Gods hands place upon the situation can be glorified in God's name.

It ended up that my Fathers seizure was due to a chemical loss of Magnesium and Thyroid imbalance also with Pneumonia.

Magnesium is a mineral important for muscle contractions, a healthy nervous system, immune system and strong bones. It is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body.
Magnesium deficiency in the body can cause the following: loss of appetite; disorientation; confusion; psychotic behavior; depression; tremors; convulsions; numbness, tingling, and cramps in the muscles; vasodilation, or widening of the blood vessels; coronary spasms; abnormal heart rhythms; seizures; and irritability of the nervous system.

Reading the above information definately confirms to me that is what has happened. He lost all but 0.1% of his magnesium and several of the above results were present.

My Father was transferred from Trenton Memorial Hospital to Belleville General Hospital on the same day and they started an IV drip of Magnesium and Pottasium.

I stopped by after work on Friday night and prior to my visit was informed that my Father was being still moody and not listening to anyone. I was expecting such when I stopped in to see him. However, he was the Dad I always knew. Very content and he looked his old self. We had a great visit and I explained to him how important it is to relax and let the drip work in his favour. You cannot heal in just 24 hours it may take a few days to replace what you lost within your body.

I think God really does know what he is doing for a small part of my prayer was for my Father to accept God as his saviour. I think after a little while I will share with him my thoughts on why things happen to Good people that seem so negative.

In conclusion I pondered in my prayer to God. Please if he doesn't have the chance to live, and it is his time to leave us. Show him yourself, so he can totally accept you as his Lord and Saviour. As I would like to give the greatest gift of life to my Father, his Salvation!

Until Next Time,

This Is A Day In The Life Of Tim
