Ken Really Needs Our Prayers

I came home to get some rest and pick up a few things we need. Jeffrey is with Ken. He had a great morning yesterday and went to church with Jeff and I. He had a little bit of a stiff neck when he woke up in the morning and his jaw was hurting a little, but he walked several steps to get in Jeff's truck and went on to church and had a great time. We came home and took a short nap and when he sat up his left leg wouldn't hardly move and was very sore in the muscles. He was determined to go back to church where we were having a fellowship meeting call and inside picnic. We got there at 6:00 p.m. and he was having trouble with his arms and shoulders being sore. He was sitting at the table in his wheel chair. I fixed him a plate of food and he had a hard time eating anything as both his jaws were locking up. He said he wanted me to call the nurse and she said to get him to the ER. Mark, Jeff, and another guy had to lift him and put him in the car seat. We got to the ER in Muskogee about 7:30 and the paramedic had to lift him and drag him out of the car into the wheel chair. After running a cat scan of his head and doing bloodwork they said all they could see wrong was that he was a little bit dehydrated. They put him on an IV and admitted him to the hospital. He was in excruciating pain in all of his muscles except his right leg. He still is and cannot lift his leg and arms or open his mouth without pain. They have run tests all day long and we have not heard the results. They are giving him morphine shots every hour and lortab in between if he needs them. We have to feed him as he cannot feed himself and only liquids at that. He is terribly thirsty and his throat is sore. Please pray for him and no one seems to know what the problem is. His hemoglobin count was 12.9 which is better than it has been for weeks and all the other blood profiles were good. His only problem was the dehydration which wasn't severe.

I'm on my way back up to the hospital as I cannot sleep. I am so concerned about him, but I know God is able to raise him up. I called the Poly-MVA nurse and she said this could not be from the Poly as it is only vitamins and minerals. If anything it should be giving him more energy which it has been for several days. I think he has a virus but I'm only guessing. We should know something tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your prayers. We are not defeated!! God's Word says that He heals all diseases and that is what I am standing on.
