PRAISE REPORT
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers over the last couple of weeks! I greatly appreciate them!
I want to give praise, glory and honor to Jesus Christ for He is God, the faithful God! (Deuteronomy 7:9)
For several months I've had chest pain and intense shortness of breath that worsened. December 18th I met with a cardiologist and a Heart Cath was scheduled for December 22nd. The Heart Cath was performed showing that my heart and vessels were in excellent shape. In recovery, the doctor informed me that he was going to do a cat scan of my lungs. This procedure showed blood clots in both lungs. They immediately put me on bed rest, seemed like they immediately started draining all the blood out of me they could get (multiple blood test), and monitored me closely under camera surveillance as well as EKG's and everything else they could hook me up to.
In his words, the doctor told me later, he was lead to request the cat scan. This is a procedure not normally ordered with the symptoms I had. I have been told by the Cardiologist, as well as several others, over and over that in their words I am fortunate and blessed.
Visiting with the Cardiologist PA yesterday, it was stressed to me how dangerous a situation I had been in. Though I didn't feel at the time (I guess ignorance is bliss) as if I were at death's door or even in a critical moment, I am now impacted with the knowledge that this situation flirted with many life long possibilities of permanent impairment and even death.
In a Christmas season message I've made the statement, "the greatest gift you can receive during this Christmas season, is for God to speak a word into your circumstances", I indeed feel that He spoke a Word in this situation and I am grateful and thankful and I give Him praise, glory and honor!
Again, thanks for your prayers! God is still in the prayer answering business! He reigns!
God Bless,
Keith Fletcher
