Please read this, you don't have to do what I ask, but please consider it.

Yikes, I hope she makes it to the top of the organ recipient list in time!

Would that help? I think my teacher said the obstruction was in one of her arteries.

It wouldn't help unless they were able to clear the blockage in her artery. Without fixing that, a new heart wouldn't do much good.

Then it won't... the obstruction is the artery itself - one of the symptoms of this condition is the artery being instructed, whoch is what resulted in the higher blood pressure: her heart has to work harder to get the blood and oxygen through the artery. Plus, they can't open it up, because there's something (I forget what it's called) that's hardening around the artery, hence where the 'terminal' Designation comes from - it's deadly because they can't clear the obstruction.

i'm very sorry for your teacher Demias...

Hmmm, I'm unfamiliar with that condition. Seems like they'd just be able to cut out and replace all the offending structures and put her on anti-rejection drugs, but if that was the case they'd have done it before her heart got all enlarged. That's a serious bummer. Not much for it but to wish her the best and work on accepting the unfortunate powerlessness. 😟

I really hope *something* good happens. That's why I took a risk in asking for prayer: because Christianity says that nothing is impossible for God. If He doesn't do anything, He has a good reason not to... but the Bible also says that He'll do something if you ask Him to. I just really hope He does help her...

I can't stand people suffering. If she doesn't get better I just hope it isn't too drawn-out and painful. One way or the other, a release from suffering is a huge mercy.

If the heart ruptures, it'll be instant. But if the lungs are compressed too much, and she can't breathe... suffocation will take much longer.

Dying of protracted crush asphixia is one of the worst ways to go I can think of. Couldn't they at least saw her sternum in half so her chest cage has room to expand? It's inhumane to allow her to suffer like she is.

I don't think that's what the problem is. I don't remember what it's called, but that's not it. There's a whole mess of problems with doing that anyways, and even if they did/could, that still wouldn't eliminate the possibility of the heart rupturing. Plus, unless they were to physically cut a hole in her chest, the heart would still run out of room eventually.

This life is so sad... Let's hope the best...

good mowning :D

Poor woman... I feel really bad for her...

ah you meant your teacher's wife, sorry i thought it was your teacher suffering! i didn't understood at first. i will pray for your teacher's wife... i'm very sorry for her...

My science teacher's wife has a medical condition, which, according to him, is terminal. I don't remember what it's called, but I do know that it has something to do with extremely high blood pressure.

The biggest thing (in my opinion, at least), is that her blood pressure is incredibly high, which has resulted in an obstruction, thus her heart has to work harder to get the blood and oxygen where it needs to be. When the heart works harder, it gets bigger. The thing is, her heart is working so hard (again, due to the obstruction) and is getting so big that it's compressing her lungs. According to my teacher, she can't walk more than ten feet without running out of oxygen.

Apparently, the biggest fear the doctors have is that her heart will rupture. If that happens, she dies instantly...

If you know me well, you know that I hate feeling powerless, especially when it comes to helping others. If I understand what my teacher said, death is inevitable, be it from lack of oxygen or the heart rupturing. I hate this feeling of powerlessness, especially since it has caused visible changes to my science teacher. At the beginning of the year, he was bright and happy, even considering his wife's condition (at the time). Now... I just feel so... useless.

My main point: Please pray for my teacher's wife. Scientifically speaking, this condition is terminal. I barely ever ask people to pray for others, because I don't know where they stand on religion... but I'm asking you not as the owner of a stream or a partner in a roleplay. I'm asking as a friend - one who's incredibly concerned for someone else. I know I can't help... but I believe that God can. Please, just consider praying, even if you're not religious.

TL;DR: My teacher's wife is dying, and I'm asking you to pray for her.

Yessir! One prayer commin right up!

I'll pray day and night. I claim Psalms 91:10: No evil shall befall you, nor will any plague come near your dwelling.

Thanks. I hate feeling powerless to help others, but I'm confident that God can help.

He will, and if he doesn't, it's for a good reason. Have faith in Christ Jesus, and he will have faith in you. He loves us all, and as a result: Loves you.

Sixty-two views, one upvote, and eight comments in less than an hour... thank you for just reading it, even if you don't want to do what I ask. I'm not mad at you if you don't want to pray - I understand and won't hold it against those who choose not to. But for those who did decide to do so: Thank you. That's all I have to say, really. Just... thank you.
