A midnight call for help

I have heard it before. Margie calling desperately for my help because she can't breathe. Wheezing and gasping for the next breath of air she awakened me and I rushed to the medicine cabinet to get an Alka Seltzer Gold packet, put the two tablets in a small amount of water and she painstakingly attempted to get that liquid down through all the gasps. It works. You probably never heard of Alka Seltzer GOLD. Neither had we until years ago an allergist explained it sometimes helped parents with children suffering from asthma attacks and similar allergy related situations as they were en-route to the hospital. But we don't know why, after 10 years of freedom from this "plague",it returned last night at midnight. MSG was the culprit THEN. Maybe it has resurfaced. We just don't know. But you can rejoice with us that Margie, after that episode, slept well and she's in great spirits this morning. We just step from one health issue to the next, with God's help in each situation. We are grateful for His leading and your prayers.
