Prayers - Lena in hospital

[Lena and Igor 5]

Not such a good Christmas this year. Lena's in the hospital. Persistent headache, loss of balance, tachycardia. Many tests including a cat scan and lumbar puncture. The good news so far is meds have decreased her tachycardia. Also, the hospital assigned her a Russian primary doctor. I'll keep all updated. Of course she fought the physicians when they proposed certain pain meds. She never takes medicine other than homeopathic mixtures from the FSU.

Пусть Леночка выздоравливает скорее! Огромного здоровья и счастья!

Thank you! Its now narrowed down to a pre-hyperthyroid storm. The good docs are now controlling her blood pressure, nausea and high pulse rate. Thank God this is fixable.

I'm on it! Haven't left her side. She only has me here. Her son in Kharkov made an interesting comment. He said that he would send money to me to help to pay for all of the "analysis". He was surprised when I told him that this hospitalization is covered @ 100% minus a $500 deductable. Not like Ukraine he said! The hospitals there provide good care but basic care for free. Cat scans, MRIs and high-tech cardiac care costs are additional and prohibitive for families there. I am thankful for our cuurrent healthcare system. Thanks Gary!

Very glad to hear it is treatable. Wonderful news. Do not let her see the statement from the hospital before explaining it is all covered...could bring back the tachycardia!

Seriously, one thing I will never forget is that Alla never left me alone in the hospital when I was there for my bypass surgery, I had to tell her in no uncertain terms to accept the hospitals offer of letting her us a shower room! I assured her I would be OK if she just went to take a shower and came back.

Best to Lena!
