Need prayers

[Tim and Erin 3]

Tim is being rushed to hospital as I'm writing this, because he's having chest pains. He's 53 years old. His father died from a heart attack in his early 50's. Tim is in great shape...has a very physical job...but I know he pushes himself harder than he needs to as a way to prove himself I guess. I've chastised him so many times about it but eventually gave up. It's just his nature to work so physically hard. It makes him happy.

Tim's son Thomas first called and told me Tim had called him to say he had chest pains. Thomas called Tim's neighbor who called the local volunteer fire department. They all tried to convince Tim to go to hospital but he refused, because of his religious beliefs. I finally got to speak to Tim for a minute to ask if he'd do it for ME. He said he'd think about it, but said he was sure he'd be ok. Thomas told me he'd try to convince him. Fifteen minutes later he called back and said they had put Tim on a stretcher and he didn't object...so he's on his way to hospital now.

I've never been so scared in my life. I'm panicking...I'm shaking...I can hardly breathe! I'm so tense right now that every muscle in my body hurts. He's so far away.....I can't get there NOW when I want to be there! There's nothing I can do but pray, and ask everyone here for their prayers as well. It's the only thing that will keep me half sane until Tim's son calls back.

That's so scary but I'm sure everything will be alright. You'll be in my thoughts.

I hope everything is ok with Tim. Good to know he's in the right hands ie doctors and medicine. I can't help but wonder what kind of religious reasons one would have that would actually prevent someone from getting medical attention should they need it.

Stay positive and best wishes to you guys.

Thomas called about 20 minutes ago and said they're doing tests on Tim, and that he is talking and joking about how it's not a big deal. But it's a big deal though to everyone who loves him! And at least he's in a safe place right now and getting some care.

One thing that is kinda bothering me, but really shouldn't, is that Tim's ex wife is at the hospital as well. I guess in a way I'm glad she's there, because I know there's no animosity between them, and I certainly can't be there right now. The important thing is that people who care about him are with him right now. I just wish I was one of them.

Thanks everyone for your prayers.

Keeping the phone by the bed tonight..........

Some of us like Tim deal with serious things in a joking way.

You know by the quote off that card he sent that he really wants YOU there.

Thoughts and prayers for you both at this time...

Another phone call. They did a test where they "numb" the heart, and apparently he still had pain. So now they're suspecting "possible" indigestion, but they will continue to do other tests. He's staying in the hospital overnight, and his son will call and keep me updated.

I must say I'm more relaxed now, but of course still very worried. I mean, this could have been much more serious than it is. I hate to think of the kind of phone call I COULD have had earlier. Just too unthinkable........sighhhhh.

Thanks again to everyone for their support.
