I have had pulmonary hypertension all of my life because of a congential heart defect but it has always been classified as mild. In August I was hospitalized because my fingers and lips were blue and I coughed so hard I broke a rib. On Tuesday I have a follow up with the local cardiologist and pulmonologist and then in March I will see a specialist at a bigger hospital about 2 hours away.

Sorry, I pressed the wrong button. I am just asking for some prayers to help me get through this and hopefully they can control this with just medicine. I am so scared for my children. My mother died when I was just 18 and it is so hard when you are that young. Thank you for listening. It feels good just to be able to talk about it. Maureen

Maureen, I will be praying for you and keeping you in my heart. They have come so far with these things these days - don't worry so much about it - just do what they ask and keep an open mind. Be strong for your children - for if they see you worried they will be as well.

Dear Maureen, you are in my prayers; so sorry to learn of your battle with pulmonary hypertension; Shirleen is right - much progress has been made in recent years - try to relax a little and trust God to guide your specialists in the right direction for what will be best for you.

Sorry to hear about your health problems.
try and remember 2 things:
1. FROG - Forever Rely On God and
2. God never gives us something that He knows we can't cope with.... not always easy to live by but keep on, keeping on.
Will keep you in my prayers!
