5 months ago my heart was getting really week and my left side not working to well the doctors were telling me my left side was week very week . 32%:( the doctors I have are wonderful they are very smart and he knows all my med's by heart and how much i take .
he also has three offices at Colorado University hospital and he also works at Children's with kids who have heart patients.
Lately I have been feeling dizzy and drowsy i just wanted to sleep and sleep and even if I get up slowly I still felt that dizziness.
I was was not motivated to do anything and i just couldn't bring back any atheism what so ever! so i just wanted to sleep. So I rarely drank liquids and ate . Sometimes when your that sick u just can't.
Nov 7 I was in the bathroom one minute I just fell hit my head on the bath tub and corner of the wall and the dustpan that was lying there yes the dust pan broke my fall lol. Mom heard me scream and came rushing in! We were both scared!
So I fell hit my head on the wall so I'm so great full there was nothing more./ blacked out it took me a few minutes to wake up.
Mom called my nurse and rushed me into Er and since I'm a heart patient they got me in so fast!!!
I had to do EKG, ex ray , blood test
and two hours they brought me to my own room.! i had such a beautiful view! it was awesome. That part of it all. lol

- I didn't want to head to the Er knowing i was going to stay for a few days & i was right
- 4 days & 3 Nights.
The First results came back saying it was leading to kidneys i was having kidney failure! I didn't even realize or new any of the signs, the set me up with 4 bags of Selene fluids my kidneys were shriveling up so bad the meds i had were drying them out and that's were my dizzy spells and blacked out came from!
I was relived it wasn't my heart Dr Kay says we are still checking in on that area.
I had many people praying for me I was so blessed by that i was so nervous it was about my heart that the doctors would say ok miss Carrie we need to rush you into surgery!
that never did happen what happen was my doctor Kay said your heart is imaproving but we wont know by how much until later! but now all these Medicines all were too much for my body and that's why it was making me have kidney failure ! but 5 months ago my heart needed all those Medications! so that was a hint to me that my heart is improving from 32% and what ever the results may be now! by the way still waiting i will now after thanksgiving. :)
so all it was my kidneys got hydrated and i was able to leave the hospital after 3 days! i was so relived so was mom! :)
mom was there for me every morning till evening and she read to me of the book were reading together.
My last night there at the Hospital my father in law surprised me came to visit me! and stayed for a few hours and it was so good to see him come into my room.
he got us laughing and talking and my nurse came into to check on me, and my nurse over heard our talk how God took away my father in laws cancer after all his radiations he had went through my nurse said out loud "I'm a believer in Christ too I am also a Cancer survivor ! "
So while she was helping me get out of the bed /bathroom she told me she is a Christian also and her family and her few months ago went to Israel and walked were Jesus walked and it was so amazing when they heard sermons of Jesus teaching were they were standing on those grounds it was incredible!
I told her what happened to me 2009 when I had my pacemaker defibulater surgery. i was in pain and my arms were st raped together as i woke in my room i was in so much pain i had to reach the nurse button but i couldn't because my arms were together so i couldn't break any of the stitches.
so I lade there crying frustration built in me and pain and i had to use the bathroom well i prayed to God with all my heart and in a very quit room I heard Jesus voice loud in clear in my heart....
I said to my Nurse Megan what He had told
me! "my child i am hear by your side and holding your hands i will never leave you i am hear by your side. my child don't look away'
I told Meg my Nurse and those were the song that the Christian band just came out with anat that time 2009 and those are the words Jesus told me and then ten minutes later my blood presure went really down fast, then one of the nurses happen to see it and came rushing in to help me to get comfy and pain reliefe and bathroom time!
my nurse says wow that gives me chills and awesome testomy ! i said " i know i feel Gods peace since ive been back in hear in the hospital i never had one single panic attack.
i felt comfort when people say there praying God uses prayer to reach the one there praying for!!!!
always remember that never give up praying.
I knew that was the Lord making my blood presure go down so i can get pain relief !!!
i will never for get the words i heard in my heart that day!! that was in 2009!
So my friends & familiy came to be with mr at all times it was such a blessing!l

To my surprise all of them showed up!!! The ones who could! And the oncevwhobdidjtvcalledvon mevavfew times and these close friends wanted to bring the game night to me at the hospital !!!? I was just getting tired and then I heard them all comming from down the hall into my room !
The leaders of game night brought a few games and we all went to the guest area were we had chairs and tables to sit and a wonderful view ! that is me in the wheel chair holding on to my bear that my fiance' surprised me with our first christmas"
These men in the group are my brothers in Christ all of them we pray together and laugh / cry in our group it's a joy to have this group!
It's been a week and two days since I've been home from the hospital and feeling much better this was all out of my hands am now that my heart improved I won't know how my much until the Monday before thanksgiving!
I had went in there for them to draw lab work and last tues my kidneys are back to good and the lower dosage on meds does me wonders!
I can get so much done without feeling dizzy / drowsy ! I'm praising God with all my heart that he really is taking care of the insides of me hat no one Ell's sees!
Jesus will do the same for you as well.
