Just to let you all know, especially the FedEx family of operators. My co driver/ brother was just admitted into the hospital this morning. severe reaction to BP meds, causing the kidneys to shut down. Keep him James in your prayers.

I will be praying for your brother's recovery.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.[/color]


PS. Atacand is an excellent BP medication with very few side effects.

8/7/06 As of last night Dr's said he will be released on tuesday. Thier doing kidney biopsy today, so that will be the final keey to release.
looks like the meds not only shut down kidneys, but also slowed down the bowels. after being off the meds all this time things are begining to work correctly again. AND... BP is back down to normal range too!
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.

ps. truck is in shop needing transmission, oh well here we go again!! :)

Hope all goes well for James. I have taken atenolol for the last 4 or 5 yrs. Hope the Dr finds a medicine that his body can accept.
