**fernykins** · 03-15-2009, 12:56 AM

I just got off the phone with my oldest sister and they think her husband has a stroke about 1am today, This is the stupid part. They are waiting for Monday to go to the Dr. Because the can't afford ER. His speach is slurred and the left side of his face droops and he is having a hard time walking....... I tried to get her to take him in...... I'm sorry its just a bill. What can they do take their birthdays away from them....... So I'm off to her house tomorrow.......He needs lots of prays..... Thanks alot

They really should take him to the ER whether they can pay or not. asap

If they wait until Monday the Dr. will most likely be very unhappy that he wasn't taken to the ER right away. That said, your sister needs to feel your love and hugs now. I'm glad you can be there for her.

My prayers go out to your BIL.

Your sister and her husband are lucky to have you. Prayers and love are coming for all of you. Life is so precious - take care of each other.

Good luck..and good thoughts..He needs to go to ER right away though, as some forms of damage can become irreversible after a few hours or days.

Take it from someone that has had a stroke, he needs to be seen ASAP!
No bill is worth the cost of a life, and strokes kill people.

You and your BIL are in my thoughts and prayers!
Please let us know how things are going.

I'm with everyone else on this thread. They are trying to avoid an ER bill but will end up with either a funeral bill or bills for a lifetime of extensive medical care. Strokes, if dealt with by a hospital right away, can often be treated so effectively there is a complete recovery. If left, for even a few hours, permanent brain damage or death is almost guaranteed. Please, please convince your sister to take him to the ER right away!!

My prayers are with you!

Sending a prayer for you and your family.

A life is worth much more than an ER bill. I would tell her to stop worrying about that and get him to the ER ASAP. Most ER's will take payment plans!

Also, sending good thoughts and prayers your way

I know that he needs to go to ER........ I can't force them too. I would make him go but he can say no and they have to leave........He's a nice guy. I'm dealing with my estanged husband who had a stroke and wasn't found for 8 hrs....Well I'm off to call her...... Thanks everyone for your prayers and good throughts
