We had quite a Sunday morning! You might remember a few weeks ago there was a nine year old who was repeatedly passing out during the Sunday morning service, an ambulance came for him, and it made for quite a day? He’s fine, and has managed to stay awake since then … I haven’t been preaching the last few weeks, though, so that might be playing into that.
Anyway, this morning we had a similar incident. One of the older ladies began to pass out towards the end of the service. Thankfully she was sitting behind a nurse, and there were others nearby with level heads and great responses. In all honesty, quite a few people thought she was having a stroke. We had a guest speaker who was wrapping up at the time – poor guy kept going, but he knew he had lost the room at that point. It was good, though – it kept people quiet and in their seats. Well, the ambulance got their quickly and rushed her off to the emergency room while I led the room in prayer for her.
By the time I was finally able to leave and catch up with the others who had gone with her, almost an hour had passed. I spent close to an hour sitting with her and praying with her when we finally got the word from the Doctor. It wasn’t a stroke or her heart, which was a relief. It turns out, she hadn’t been feeling well, dizzyness, etc., so she had taken a couple pills – but she had taken the wrong ones. They dropped her blood pressure and caused her to pass out, leaving her sick and sore. It’s a relief that she’s okay, but it will be a little while before she’s 100%.
Sheesh, two 911 calls in the space of a few weeks? Usually we go years between calls!
