Prayer Request - About my brother...
Phone call from my mom | Right now | Me

Posted on 02/20/2007 11:24:02 PM PST by PureSolace

Hi all,

My brother Lucas, (Age 25) had a seizure today while just sitting and talking with my mom and grandmother. He's never had a case of seizures before, his blood sugar was normal, the bloodwork test came out normal, the cat scan showed nothing wrong with his brain. tomorrow he goes in for an EEG. None of this makes sense.

He has been under a lot of preasure lately with studying at school and his job. and he has complained about feeling a bit light headed lately and had a couple of fainting spells last week.

I'm asking for prayer. Because he had a seizure out of the blue today, the government won't allow him to operate a vehicle for the next 6 months, and he still has work and school to attend.

I got to talk to him today, and he says he rememebrs sitting in the room, and then feeling light headed, then he doesn't rememebr anything. Then he says he came to and had an oxygen mask on, and remembers seeing familiar faces in the room, then he blacks out again, then he says he remembers waking up in the ambulance, and I think he remembers everythign that happened after that.

My mom and grandmother were freaked out adn called 9-1-1 and followed their instructions while the fire dept. and ambulance arrived. All my family is Christian, and my mom said she did some tall praying when he went stiff adn started shaking and drooling everywhere.

Please pray that God heal him and this type of thing never happens again. There's no history of this sort of thing in our family, and this has taken everyone by surprise. Please PRay Gods protection on my family through this time as well.

It makes no sense to me, but all I know to do in both good times and bad is to trust in God.

If you guys could pray, and get anyone else or church or community group or family or anyone else to pray, pelase get them to pray. The more the better! I know prayer works. God has healed me many tiems as well. Praise God!

Thank you all! and God bless!

-Josh

Prayers for your brother.
Prayers for peace, healing and courage.

It might not have been a seizure. With the stress he's under it might be a panic attack?

Prayers, and remember about a third of adults who have one seizure never have another.

Perhaps your brother has not been paying enough attention to proper nutrition, Josh ... in this interim period of seeking an answer, impress upon him to fortify his body with the healthiest of lifestyle, including proper rest.

Heavenly Father, we pray that Your healing hand would rest mightily upon Lucas, that through the upcoming maze of looking for answers, You would guide his medical team to the conclusion that all is well. So order his days that they would become ones of peace and calm, with things accomplished that are needed, while those that are not are set aside. Comfort and encourage him and his family as they look to You, for it is You, O Lord, who holds the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10. To You, O God, be the Glory, for Great things You have done, and continue to do. Blessed be Your Name, now and forevermore, Amen ...

Prayers up!

It wasn't a seizure, but I had my first anxiety attack in college, sitting in a chair studying. Out of the blue I got light headed, heart started pounding and it was the strangest feeling I'd ever experienced. It scared the hell out of me.

I hope your brother's tests are all OK. God bless.
