Chris had a chemically induced stress test yesterday and had an adverse 
reaction to the meds they used. 

Crushing headache and vomitting that did not improve. 

He has been in the er for 6 hours now. They feared a brain anuerism so 
they did a CAT scan and spinal tap. 

They found minor hemmoraging in the back of his brain. 

To make things worse they hit a nerve during the tap and now he will have 
much pain and paralisis in his left leg for a week. 

Please pray because they are placing him on oxicontin and he is a 
recoering addict of nearly 25 years. 

Also the added stress exaserbates his PTSD so he has had minor episodes 
and flashbacks today. 

He is in good Spirit though and says he keeps reminding himself that one 
of God's greatest gifts is pain because it tells you something is wrong. 

Please pass this along to other lists as I do not know how to get there. 

Love, 
Lori
