This happened to us. We lost our 17 month old daughter three years ago due to a congenital heart issue. I watched for an hour while they tried to revive her. It's a mother's worst nightmare to lose a child, and on top of that, to watch the whole thing unfold. It's only because of Christ that we can move forward with hope, trusting His will, and knowing we will see her again. But as you said, I am no longer the same and never will be. It's been a difficult three years. I miss my precious girl. I am so sorry to hear about Ben. So scary, indeed. Praise God he is okay. We will be praying for swift answers and wisdom as you navigate appointments, tests, and decisions. Blessings to you all!
Unfortunately heart issues and cancer has no age limits. I'm so sorry for your daughter and your family. Working in Healthcare I could never deal with children cause I couldn't deal with it. I'm ok with elderly and i treated each as if they was my own. I'll keep you in my prayers.
When I was 52, i misdiagnosed with my heart , After 6 hours of heart exams the doctor told me i was the healthiest 52 year old man he'd ever seen , had a heart attack 4 days later, CPR saved my life, my advice is find a female cardiologist because they listen to every word you say, you will have a feeling of doom come over your body starting at your feet moving up your body, REMEMBER i was in perfect health in every way. I now cherish every day and people that cause drama i just walk away. 🙏
I am standing with in prayer. This has been a long year with similar issues. One thing that never changes is our faith and relationship with our Heavenly Father. Knowing that he is ALWAYS THERE. He’s a MIGHTY GOD. GOD BLESS YOU AND BEN AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Praying. I went through this with my husband earlier this year. Thank God we got him to the hospital in time. We both do not take anything for granted . Each day is a gift.
❤ you drive a very good point home. You never know when your time is, are you happy with your life the way it is?, if this was your last day..my motivation for today. I am so glad Ben made it to hospital, and he is still with you! Thank you for the openness and heartfelt video.
Being thankful this morning for y'all. I KNOW about that fear. And I KNOW about rejoicing. And I KNOW about years of loving just one intensely. And I KNOW about those frantic calls to grown children. And sadly I KNOW the shock of and reality of someone knocking on my door with the worst news. BUT, I KNOW WHO holds me up. See you soon. ❤
Andrea, Thanks for this message. I lost my Dad to a heart attack when I was in college. It was rough. My wife and I are healthy ( early 70s) But I would be entirely lost if I lost her. I am going to do better after hearing you today. God Bless you. Im thankful Ben is Ok. Thanks again for this message. You are genuine.
I am so thankful God spared you such a loss Andrea. I'm so thankful Ben is still here and he still has time with the family and they with him. I will be praying for Ben, for you and for anyone helping along the way. May God bless the efforts made on all fronts to shore up Ben's health and yours. I pray your telling this will help others too. August marks 5 years since my Ben's death. I know your prayers and support helped me immensely. God bless you and Ben. Much love from Oregon ❤🙏
Andrea sweetheart I know exactly how scary it can be to watch your loved one go through tough times. Last year it was me who was fighting for my life and it has been many times my husband has also been there. One great thing is we are there for each other and have grown closer each time we share those special times. I will continue to pray for both you and Ben as you go through another milestone in your lives. Love you both as I have watched you and your family for years.
Thankful for your faith and perspective! I was told months ago that my cancer returned and I had 12 months to live. False alarm. It has changed so much of my world. I am working through my relationship with God and asking him to help me desire his presence eagerly again. I want to live my life with intentionality, live and forgiveness. I am glad you guys are also given the chance to change what you want and love your people a bit closer! Thank you for your video and words.
Andrea I’m so sorry what a horrible scare you had and like you I can’t imagine losing my husband like that and he is and has been reversing his type two diabetes and I’m so proud of him because it was his decision and I’m supporting him the best I can. God bless you and thank the Lord Ben will be there to walk his only daughter down the aisle! I hope and pray they figure out what is going on with him. 🥰❤️🍁🇨🇦🙏🏻
God tells us that he won't let us have more trouble than what we can bear but I sometimes believe it it to cause us to turn to Him for help. I feel your pain and will lift up you, Ben, and your family, and your medical team in my prayers. Hopefully they can figure out what is going on and get Ben the help he needs.
Praying for you and your family. Thank you for sharing. I got my wake up call a month ago and am taking back control of my health. Hope Ben is feeling better soon!❤
Wow! Prayers for Ben and hope they find the problem. Could even be gallbladder. Its so scary. I pray they find his problem and fix it. I thank the good lord every day. I have an immune disease took 18 months to find out what it is. I could hardly walk and pain something terrible. Too late for meds to help it. I am 81 and can cook, can, bake and make meals and take care of my hubby who has health issues. I am glad I wake up each day with 2 feet on the ground. You always have something to be thankful. God Bless you
You know Andrea, I really love y’all! This may not be it because Ben’s issue sounds so drastic, but have them check extreme acid reflux. Me and my daughter have symptoms of a heart attack when we have extreme acid reflux attack . At least you could count that out. It’s called Gerd! It’s bad. Just a thought cause I care. I too love and trust the Lord. We have all had drastic issues in our families. I pray for Ben and you and pray that God gives his Dr.’s wisdom to find out what’s going on with him. I pray life, health and healing over Ben in Jesus name. You will get it right Andrea. God is on your side. Love you girl. I’ve already had that kind of issue with my husband… heart… but God intervened and my husband was saved! That was a few years ago and we are still thanking and praising God! Love y’all and praying for you. Blessings from OKC❤
Oh My Goodness- Andrea & Ben my heart is with you both & yes I know how scarey it can be - I luckily with my Husband rang the ambulance & got him into hospital where he has just has had an Open Heart Triple Bypass- survived & now well & truly on the road to recovery. I know exactly what your message is in this wonderful heart felt video. Love Denise- Australia
Nancy and I love you and your dear husband and praying yall with get the issue corrected as medical physicians figure it out. The longer that I live the more I know that the medical establishment still does not know about our wonderfully made bodies. We appreciate your sharing with us. Your strength through life challenges helps strengthen others. I grew up under a dirt poor share cropper in SE Arkansas and left there at 17 for a great U.S. Navy career. Best wishes. We are praying for your family. Thank you for sharing Jesus.✝️
Andrea I'm so sorry you all had to go through this past year and then on top of it to think you were losing your sweet Ben. I know you must have been so scared. We are so, so grateful Ben is in the hands of a great team including you. Please let that sweet man, know that we are praying for him and his doctors, that they find a remedy and a plan of action. This was a serious wake-up call to me, and much needed. Thank you so much for this open and honest reminder to get on a serious track with this diabetes of mine. Here's to Second Chances. Sending much love your way and many prayers. Margie, Eddie and Colleen Guy From Southern Maryland "Hanging with the Guys"
God led me to your channel for me to make the changes in my life to better my health. I have several major health issues that I have not handled as a good steward of this body God has gifted me with. I must throw out the junk in my life, so thank you for sharing your big, generous, and loving heart. You were just what I needed today, you were God-sent. Praying for you, your family, and myself. Be blessed and keep on being a blessing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for The Fathers Mercy and Grace. Sometimes it takes something drastic to get our attention,slow down and enjoy the life God has given us. Praying for Ben’s and you’re continuing healing.❤
If I had gone to bed on Christmas Eve, I would be a widow right now. He had chest pain, but he's had that before and it ended up being nothing so I just brushed it off. He had gone out side and was sitting on the steps. As I was getting ready to head to bed I checked on him. He told me at that time that he was now getting pain in his back. I thought gall bladder. I said let's go, we're going to the hospital. We are 30 mins away as well. They wasted no time taking him back. Very quickly they said it was a heart attack and they wheeled him off to surgery. They put in a stent, his widow maker was 100% blocked. He eats SAD, I eat carnivore. I can't convince him to join me. He is stuck in his ways. He has lost a lot of weight and sits in his chair all day. I don't know how much longer I will have him. But he loves God.
I see it. In passing It's looking good. im going to try and stop in soon. Since we lost the grocery in town, yes i live just down the road from you. You guys are going to do great! Gods going to bless you more than he already has.Will be praying for your family!
Oh Andrea-you and Ben have been through so much. Thankful it was not a heart attack and pursing what is going on. Keeping you two in my prayers. Sending you a hug too. God bless
God has an expiration date on each of us! We NEVER know when our time ends! I am thankful that Friday did not make you a widow but it could have. Yes, Hug and kiss your loved ones at every opportunity, and PRAY over everyone. Clean eating and prayerful lives make a difference! We should live each day as if it is our last one. I do not discount the power of prayer because as stated in the Bible, God had made decisions and prayer changed His Mind! Prayers for Ben's health and prayers for you!
Hugs Andrea, i really think about this all the time. I lost my son at 39 2 years ago and it changed my life. His cancer was not sudden but it felt like it, I am 64 and my hubby is 72 I know we are growing closer to the time , most importantly is our walk with Christ grows stronger every day. May God comfort you ❤
Oh my goodness! I am so thankful he's still alive and still with you all. I lost my husband almost 3 weeks ago to a sudden pulmonary embolism. He was 56 and we just celebrated our 30th anniversary in April. We have 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren. Your truly sincere "I'm so sorry" comment is very heartfelt to me. God bless you all. Make the most of the time we have on this earth! Nothing is guaranteed.
Oh Andrea I needed to hear this. I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. God kept Ben here for a reason. My older brother and myself are all that’s left out of us four kids. I’m 60 and he is 63. We don’t talk. He is an alcoholic/drug user and I don’t agree with his lifestyle. I’m going to call him and talk to him because tomorrow isn’t promised. Thank you so so much for sharing what’s been going on in your lives. I wouldn’t be doing this if I hadn’t of watched your video tonight.
I have been a heart patient for over 20 years and just got my forth pacemaker last Monday it changes your life but with Gods help direction I have a full life. With what you all have been through if you step back and look you will see Gods hand all over your family.
We lost our 14 yr old son to a car accident. I was with him when he took his last breath. He was a believer, so I know he's in heaven and I cannot wait to see him again. It changes you forever. Thank you for your video and I pray you can get answers for Ben.
You and Ben are such wonderful people. You are both so honest and sharing so much of your lives. I lost my first husband to suicide it was a very difficult journey but life is meant to go on and God helped me and have found a wonderful man who has given me a wonderful life. Sending healing hugs to Ben and you!
Hey Andrea, WOW, what a scary night! I cannot imagine what y'all went through and felt. I am praying y'all find the answers to this scare. When live in a world driven by negativity and fear in the news on social media and literally every where and this cause so much undue stress on us. We all need to keep our focus on the Lord and follow the path He has created for us. Depending upon this faith and our separation from the negative influences is our best course of action. I do love you and your family and will pray for y'all that no matter what happens God's will is at the center of all we are doing and praying for. You commented that you did not believe the thought of God healing this one and not healing that one. I do agree 100% When we pray for healing I do believe God will heal all of us, however some of us will be healed here on earth and some will be healed in heaven. When we die despite all the prayers for healing does not mean God did not answer prayer but He said no to healing them here on earth. Through death we are all healed and restored to the full glory of God's design for us. Please be careful to not say God did not answer our prayer but understand He will at times say No to our prayers. I am so relieved Ben is ok but I do hope he gets better than ok. I will pray for all the folks involved in his medical care will be able to find what needs to be found. God bless you all. Steven
I lost my wife of 22 years about 14 years ago to cancer, and at first I was angry because a lot of people were praying for her. When she was first diagnosed they gave her a year maybe, God gave us 7 years more than that with her.And so The Good Lord let me understand that she belongs to Him and He was taking her back to Himself and it was not up to me. Shortly after that I got a glimpse of her for an instant one night as I was going to sleep,she was standing in a doorway of a garden with roses and flowers all around,she had a gown that was down to her feet and it was pleated all around.Also she was young and looked so happy, I believe that God was showing me that she was alright.If it was a dream I wouldn’t have remembered all the details of such a short glimpse.Thank you for sharing your life,I am a new viewer and I enjoy your work.
You are such an awesome person you are such a beautiful woman inside out your Christian heart shows through. I know how hard it is in 2009 my husband died in august then my dad died in December. It was. So devastating God helped me through with out him I couldn’t have done it
Oh Andrea, we're so sorry to hear about Ben. Please have Ben tested for Lymes. My son, who's in his late 30's had the same symptoms just 2 weeks ago. He tested positive for Lymes and was put on some major antibiotics. He's much much better now. Lymes symptoms can mimic so many things that lead you in the wrong direction, so please have Ben tested. God bless you both. ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing with us! We all need to listen to your wise words and follow through with your example. Ben and you all will be in our prayers. You have me in tears my friend. Thank you. Love you guys.❤
Three weeks ago I almost died. My kidneys had shut down & the doctor says you can do dialysis and possibly live or if you chose not do it your going to die & even if you do it you might still die. So what do you want to do? I said well I don’t want to die so let do the dialysis. 4 days later I felt like I just died and they brought me back I was bone chilling cold. 4 days passes I’m okay kidneys are beginning to come back the heart doctor says your heart is beating way to fast your In fibula tip retention and we need to shock your hear to stop it and then restart your heart to slow it down so I go in and I come out okay but both my arms feel like I just caught the biggest fish ever and I fought him for two days doctor says that’s normal when we shock you your whole body jumps up and that why your arms feel like that. I’ve lost 100# and 90 of that was water weight. I’m feeling good now. Thank God your husband hasn’t had a heart attack I have had one at age 65. I’ll pray for him and you. And yes we love you back. ❤
I'm so thankful that you were able to share that your husband is still alive! I pray God sends your husband to the medical professionals who will help him in the flesh/who God will lead and guide to care for your husband. I pray for a complete healing over your husband. I'm happy to hear all of the positive things you have shared on here with us, as well! I hope this reaches more people than you currently have subscribers.❤ No need to apologize for crying/showing your raw emotions.💕💕
Did he have lymes test? Sounds like symptoms I had three weeks ago. I did test for lymes. I am praying for each of you and for answers for Ben's healing. Amen! Andrea! God's blessings on you and your family.
Praying for your family 🙏. Andrea you also are in Ministry on a giant platform. I Love knowing you and your family and take joy that y’all are living for GOD. I ask him to keep Ben healthy and strong and for you to stay strong. His blessings are there for you. Love you 🙏💕❤️
Thank you for your openness with the community who loves your family. We all care about your entire family. I love your videos. God loves you and is watching over all of you. I will offer up my prayers that they find out what is happening to your husband and so they can help him get better with God’s grace. ❤
Andrea, First of all sending huge hugs to you, Ben And the kids. That must have been terrifying. Praying for you all and hope the hospital can find what is wrong. Xx. ❤❤
You touched me in ways I have not been touched before. I have lost many loved ones that I was very close to over the past several years and it was difficult to navigate through to say the least. We could be here today and gone tomorrow, we just never know when the Lord gets ready for us. I want your to know I am praying earnestly for Ben asking the Lord for answers and to give the doctor the knowledge to be able to get to the root of his issues. I have been so encouraged watching your channel over the past year or so as you have gone into so much about faith, family and your journey with the Lord over the past few years. I enjoy when you share your heart with us here on RUclips.
Sweet Andrea, I want you to know I'm thinking about you, and Ben. I'm sorry this is happening, and I'm sending love, hugs, and strength your way. Along with prayers for the doctors to find out through testing what medical problem is causing all the symptoms Ben is experiencing, and provide answers, and a cure. Love y'all❤️
Sounds like with his history of migraines he possibly needs some magnesium glycenate. Low magnesium can cause arrhythmia’s. He also may have an imbalance in his sodium potassium levels.
My prayers are with you! I had something like that happen to me. I woke up one Sat morning @6am and I thought I was having a heart attack, I woke my husband up and told him about it. My blood pressure was like 280/230 or something like that. They ran all kinds of tests on me. It took them 3 days to get my blood pressure down. They finally found out it was my thyroids causing the problem. I also have high blood pressure & AFIB. I have not had any more problems since Jan. 2020. Ask the doctors to check his thyroids, that could be the problem.
3years ago my husband had a serious stroke ..And I noticed the symptoms…😢😢😢 What it was .confirmed ..so scary… I cried .. With the stroke came a lot of test and a lot of things that we discovered my husband is here today three years but the MRI from the stroke we found out he has kidney cancer and bone cancer and he’s been three years doing Chemo but I really thank God 🙏🏽🙌🏽I have him, but it has been a whole game changer the cancer medicines take a lot out of you ,but the stroke really set him back. He lost his peripheral vision in the stroke. He lost his short term memory he no longer drives. I do all the driving. He cannot handle daily activities as much physically fine, but things have to help him juggle his brain or figure it out. He’s not that great at it ,Because he has cancer and his platelets are low he used to be a sheet metal for 35 Now They don’t want him picking up a hammer, drill because of his vision or plus if he cut himself, it could be bad because he has low low platelets and, he’s here. He doesn’t like it. It’s a whole new life for him and I really freaked out because he was always the strong one and the main breadwinner and now our life has changed and their families and they don’t live here or emptynesters neither help every so often, they don’t before you that you cannot handle and so far I’ve been handling it’s been hard but I pray daily and we have a new grandbaby so that’s a big thing to see her a lot. It brings us joy. My husband loves her so it’s just life can be something you know, I pray for your husband I’m not sure if you see miss Lippy but her husband had a heart attack is in recovery. It’s a lot of new things that happen and things that you would think that you don’t want to do so make sure you listen to the cardiologist and get all those CAT scans done for him. ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜
my dad had a minor heart attack in December, and with his quick thinking, he went to the hospital because at the time, he didnt know, he didnt have alot of pain. Thankfully, he got surgery and is doing very well. You are never ready. I am sorry you went through that. Much love!
I'm a widowed Baptist Pastors wife from Georgia. I was 50 and the Pastor was 52 when God called him home. He went misdiagnosed over 9 weeks of inner ear infection and pneumonia. It was wegeners granulomatosis autoimmune disease. After 32 days 😢God took him home. It's been the hardest thing I've ever done. Laying him to rest. I had trusted God fir a healing and he was but not the way we prayed for. I'm thankful I know he is with the Lord. Then 18 months later our oldest son took his life. I'd like to ask other children of God to pray for me and our twin sons. May God bless and he is my strength ❤❤❤
Sending hugs, there's nothing scarier than coming up against our own mortality and that of the ones we hold so dear. We are in our mid 50's and becoming more concerned each year. You are right though the time to make a difference is today not tomorrow. I've been watching and following for a very long time but don't normally comment, today I just wanted to offer some support xx
Those are my exact same symptoms with severe anxiety attacks. They come out of nowhere and they're very scary. I know you said that's not it, and I hope it's not! I don't wish them on anyone. I'm just down the road, holler if you need help! Praying for yall 🙏
When God calls us home we go home. Period. He doesn’t “kill” some and not “kill” others. He gave us two givens in this life….. we will be born and we will die. The how or when isn’t relevant. What matters is how we chose to live this precious life He gave us which determines our returning to Him when it’s all said and done. That’s why none of us should take today or tomorrow for granted. We have to live in a manner that would be pleasing to Him so that when we’re called home we’re ready to meet our Savior.
Oh, Andrea! My heart goes out to you. What a scary experience. I'm glad God spared Ben's life, and you still have your sweet husband. I pray the doctors will figure out what is wrong and how to fix it! My husband died in a plane crash many years ago, and I absolutely understand exactly when you were saying "No, this can't be the way it ends." Two men came to my door in the middle of the night, one was a police officer and one was the chief pilot of the small airline my husband worked for. They told me there had been a crash and there were no survivors. That did not compute in my brain. I said, "Where is he? What hospital? Take me to him!" And they were like, "No ma'am, I'm sorry. There were NO survivors. He didn't make it." Took a long time for that to sink in. I thank God that my husband knew Jesus as his Savior, and I will see him again someday in Heaven. I'm praying for you and Ben, and your mom and your children and their spouses. God bless you all! ❤🙏🙏🙏❤
Hope they checked his thyroid function. I had the same symptoms 200/100 tho it I was having a heart attack. Turns out I have hyper thyroid was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. I never knew till I turned 50 and had a thyroid storm. Never had an issue in 50 years. . 5 years of hell dealing with complications then it all disappeared. Back to perfectly healthy again
Oh Sweetie. Dont apologize for showing us your feelings. Thank you Lord that he kept Ben in your life. He will get you where you need to be, to help with whatever is wrong with Ben. Have no doubts. Gods got you. Many prayers for Ben and for you. Love to you all ❤
I'm sure your doctors have probably ruled this out but I still feel a responsibility to share, just in case. My husband suddenly became ill (vomiting) and quickly progressed to chest and back pain. He could not even stand up straight and could barely walk. We too thought he was having a heart attack. As it turns out, he had pancreatitis and a gallbladder full of stones. One surgery removed gall stones from his pancreas and another removed his gallbladder. Strangely, he had never had any gallbladder problems or symptoms prior to that night. Blessings to you and your family.
It sounds like the devil has been hitting you pretty hard the last couple of years between the loss of your dad, drought, lack of grass, un-bred cows, losing your boar, truck problems, weddings, family health issues, tax problems, and so much more. I have been praying for you. I am so sorry about Ben getting sick. Stress is such a killer. I will be praying about this too. I can't help wondering if he has a magnesium deficiency or AFIB. When I am low in magnesium my heart skips beats. I feel like this is a warning shot across the bow. Sometimes God is just trying to get our attention. God bless you all.
Wow, On June 7th I woke up also about 4 in the morning. had some chest discomfort. Wanted to take a shower and went back to bed to see if I felt better. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 9 hurt much worst and started pain started wrapping around my armpits and sides and told my wife I need to go to the hospital. I had a 100% blockage in one. 1 stint put in.
Prayers for my husband and I we are both stressed out to the max and my husband has had 2 mild heart attacks already .we didn't know it but we're told after EKG that he had them and I am worried..my husband is a good man but very stubborn when it comes to going to Dr/er..glad your husband is ok prayers for good outcome
That thumbnail scared me. I'm glad Ben is OK and hopefully will get answers soon. Y'all have been such a blessing and testimony for God. Love y'all and will be praying ❤🙏
Always keeping you guys in prayer. I pray always for all people to have their eyes opened and be given ears to hear. Yah said, if you love Me keep my commandments. All of them. His Sabbath is a sign between Him and His people. Since the beginning there was clean and unclean animals. These are for our benefit. For us to be healthy. Please world seek His Truth and seek beyond your religious beliefs. Seek His Word daily and He will show you His truth. I say this in love with tears in my eyes. I love y'all ❤️ 🙏
This happened to us. We lost our 17 month old daughter three years ago due to a congenital heart issue. I watched for an hour while they tried to revive her. It's a mother's worst nightmare to lose a child, and on top of that, to watch the whole thing unfold. It's only because of Christ that we can move forward with hope, trusting His will, and knowing we will see her again. But as you said, I am no longer the same and never will be. It's been a difficult three years. I miss my precious girl. I am so sorry to hear about Ben. So scary, indeed. Praise God he is okay. We will be praying for swift answers and wisdom as you navigate appointments, tests, and decisions. Blessings to you all!
I am so sorry you had to endure this. May Jesus give you comfort and peace.
Prayers for you
Unfortunately heart issues and cancer has no age limits. I'm so sorry for your daughter and your family. Working in Healthcare I could never deal with children cause I couldn't deal with it. I'm ok with elderly and i treated each as if they was my own. I'll keep you in my prayers.
@@kittyrichards9915 Thank you!
@@virginiamurrell1409 Thank you!
When I was 52, i misdiagnosed with my heart , After 6 hours of heart exams the doctor told me i was the healthiest 52 year old man he'd ever seen , had a heart attack 4 days later, CPR saved my life, my advice is find a female cardiologist because they listen to every word you say, you will have a feeling of doom come over your body starting at your feet moving up your body, REMEMBER i was in perfect health in every way. I now cherish every day and people that cause drama i just walk away. 🙏
I am standing with in prayer. This has been a long year with similar issues. One thing that never changes is our faith and relationship with our Heavenly Father. Knowing that he is ALWAYS THERE.
He’s a MIGHTY GOD.
GOD BLESS YOU AND BEN AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.
🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Praying. I went through this with my husband earlier this year. Thank God we got him to the hospital in time. We both do not take anything for granted . Each day is a gift.
Oh my this made me cry for the both of you. Sending many prayers for healing and comfort. Stay Blessed 🙏🏻
❤ you drive a very good point home. You never know when your time is, are you happy with your life the way it is?, if this was your last day..my motivation for today. I am so glad Ben made it to hospital, and he is still with you! Thank you for the openness and heartfelt video.
thank you Andrea for sharing your heart!!! I’ll be praying for Ben and your family❤ I love you and your tender, God loving, heart!🤗💞🥲
Being thankful this morning for y'all.
I KNOW about that fear. And I KNOW about rejoicing. And I KNOW about years of loving just one intensely. And I KNOW about those frantic calls to grown children. And sadly I KNOW the shock of and reality of someone knocking on my door with the worst news. BUT, I KNOW WHO holds me up. See you soon. ❤
Andrea, Thanks for this message. I lost my Dad to a heart attack when I was in college. It was rough. My wife and I are healthy ( early 70s) But I would be entirely lost if I lost her. I am going to do better after hearing you today. God Bless you. Im thankful Ben is Ok. Thanks again for this message. You are genuine.
I am so thankful God spared you such a loss Andrea. I'm so thankful Ben is still here and he still has time with the family and they with him. I will be praying for Ben, for you and for anyone helping along the way. May God bless the efforts made on all fronts to shore up Ben's health and yours. I pray your telling this will help others too.
August marks 5 years since my Ben's death. I know your prayers and support helped me immensely. God bless you and Ben. Much love from Oregon ❤🙏
Andrea sweetheart I know exactly how scary it can be to watch your loved one go through tough times. Last year it was me who was fighting for my life and it has been many times my husband has also been there. One great thing is we are there for each other and have grown closer each time we share those special times. I will continue to pray for both you and Ben as you go through another milestone in your lives. Love you both as I have watched you and your family for years.
Thankful for your faith and perspective! I was told months ago that my cancer returned and I had 12 months to live. False alarm. It has changed so much of my world. I am working through my relationship with God and asking him to help me desire his presence eagerly again. I want to live my life with intentionality, live and forgiveness. I am glad you guys are also given the chance to change what you want and love your people a bit closer!
Thank you for your video and words.
Andrea YOU ARE REAL God Bless You For Message of LIFE"s REALITY
God Bless you and Ben! Thank you God for the wake up call.
Andrea I’m so sorry what a horrible scare you had and like you I can’t imagine losing my husband like that and he is and has been reversing his type two diabetes and I’m so proud of him because it was his decision and I’m supporting him the best I can. God bless you and thank the Lord Ben will be there to walk his only daughter down the aisle! I hope and pray they figure out what is going on with him. 🥰❤️🍁🇨🇦🙏🏻
💚 I went through a similar experience last Thursday with my husband. I’m so sorry.
Thank the Lord that Ben is ok 🙏🙏🙏
Keeping you, Ben and the family in my prayers. 🙏
Thank you Lord for Ben and Andrea. 🙌
God tells us that he won't let us have more trouble than what we can bear but I sometimes believe it it to cause us to turn to Him for help. I feel your pain and will lift up you, Ben, and your family, and your medical team in my prayers. Hopefully they can figure out what is going on and get Ben the help he needs.
Could you tell me where in the bible that is? I have not read it in the bible, but I have heard it said.
Praying for you and your family. Thank you for sharing. I got my wake up call a month ago and am taking back control of my health. Hope Ben is feeling better soon!❤
I pray we will all be ready...... enjoy the present it is really a great gift! 💕🙏🏼
Wow! Prayers for Ben and hope they find the problem. Could even be gallbladder. Its so scary. I pray they find his problem and fix it. I thank the good lord every day. I have an immune disease took 18 months to find out what it is. I could hardly walk and pain something terrible. Too late for meds to help it. I am 81 and can cook, can, bake and make meals and take care of my hubby who has health issues. I am glad I wake up each day with 2 feet on the ground. You always have something to be thankful. God Bless you
You know Andrea, I really love y’all! This may not be it because Ben’s issue sounds so drastic, but have them check extreme acid reflux. Me and my daughter have symptoms of a heart attack when we have extreme acid reflux attack . At least you could count that out. It’s called Gerd! It’s bad. Just a thought cause I care. I too love and trust the Lord. We have all had drastic issues in our families. I pray for Ben and you and pray that God gives his Dr.’s wisdom to find out what’s going on with him. I pray life, health and healing over Ben in Jesus name. You will get it right Andrea. God is on your side. Love you girl. I’ve already had that kind of issue with my husband… heart… but God intervened and my husband was saved! That was a few years ago and we are still thanking and praising God! Love y’all and praying for you. Blessings from OKC❤
Prayers for Ben and the family. God Bless you🙏🙏
Oh My Goodness- Andrea & Ben my heart is with you both & yes I know how scarey it can be - I luckily with my Husband rang the ambulance & got him into hospital where he has just has had an Open Heart Triple Bypass- survived & now well & truly on the road to recovery. I know exactly what your message is in this wonderful heart felt video. Love Denise- Australia
Nancy and I love you and your dear husband and praying yall with get the issue corrected as medical physicians figure it out. The longer that I live the more I know that the medical establishment still does not know about our wonderfully made bodies. We appreciate your sharing with us. Your strength through life challenges helps strengthen others. I grew up under a dirt poor share cropper in SE Arkansas and left there at 17 for a great U.S. Navy career. Best wishes. We are praying for your family. Thank you for sharing Jesus.✝️
I’m thankful I found your channel just today!!!! I love your Christian views. God bless you and your farm.
Andrea I'm so sorry you all had to go through this past year and then on top of it to think you were losing your sweet Ben. I know you must have been so scared. We are so, so grateful Ben is in the hands of a great team including you.
Please let that sweet man, know that we are praying for him and his doctors, that they find a remedy and a plan of action.
This was a serious wake-up call to me, and much needed. Thank you so much for this open and honest reminder to get on a serious track with this diabetes of mine. Here's to Second Chances.
Sending much love your way and many prayers.

God led me to your channel for me to make the changes in my life to better my health. I have several major health issues that I have not handled as a good steward of this body God has gifted me with. I must throw out the junk in my life, so thank you for sharing your big, generous, and loving heart. You were just what I needed today, you were God-sent. Praying for you, your family, and myself. Be blessed and keep on being a blessing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for The Fathers Mercy and Grace. Sometimes it takes something drastic to get our attention,slow down and enjoy the life God has given us. Praying for Ben’s and you’re continuing healing.❤
If I had gone to bed on Christmas Eve, I would be a widow right now.
He had chest pain, but he's had that before and it ended up being nothing so I just brushed it off. He had gone out side and was sitting on the steps. As I was getting ready to head to bed I checked on him. He told me at that time that he was now getting pain in his back. I thought gall bladder. I said let's go, we're going to the hospital. We are 30 mins away as well. They wasted no time taking him back. Very quickly they said it was a heart attack and they wheeled him off to surgery. They put in a stent, his widow maker was 100% blocked. He eats SAD, I eat carnivore. I can't convince him to join me. He is stuck in his ways. He has lost a lot of weight and sits in his chair all day. I don't know how much longer I will have him. But he loves God.
I see it. In passing It's looking good. im going to try and stop in soon. Since we lost the grocery in town, yes i live just down the road from you. You guys are going to do great! Gods going to bless you more than he already has.Will be praying for your family!
Hearing that he wanted to call Layne just chokes me up. I know how scared y'all must have been. All my love guys❤
Oh Andrea-you and Ben have been through so much. Thankful it was not a heart attack and pursing what is going on. Keeping you two in my prayers. Sending you a hug too. God bless
Prayers going up for good results.
Oh Andrea, I am so so thankful he was not having a heart attack! I am praying for answers and renewed health. ❤❤❤❤❤
God has an expiration date on each of us! We NEVER know when our time ends! I am thankful that Friday did not make you a widow but it could have. Yes, Hug and kiss your loved ones at every opportunity, and PRAY over everyone. Clean eating and prayerful lives make a difference! We should live each day as if it is our last one. I do not discount the power of prayer because as stated in the Bible, God had made decisions and prayer changed His Mind! Prayers for Ben's health and prayers for you!
I am sorry you had to go through this. And I am grateful that God spared Ben's life! Praying for his continued recovery! 💖🙏💖
Hugs Andrea, i really think about this all the time. I lost my son at 39 2 years ago and it changed my life. His cancer was not sudden but it felt like it, I am 64 and my hubby is 72 I know we are growing closer to the time , most importantly is our walk with Christ grows stronger every day. May God comfort you ❤
Prayers for Ben and you. Father God, give them your wisdom. ❤
Oh my goodness! I am so thankful he's still alive and still with you all. I lost my husband almost 3 weeks ago to a sudden pulmonary embolism. He was 56 and we just celebrated our 30th anniversary in April. We have 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren. Your truly sincere "I'm so sorry" comment is very heartfelt to me. God bless you all. Make the most of the time we have on this earth! Nothing is guaranteed.
My condolences to you. May the Lord comfort you in your loss, as you let God take your hand and lead you. I lift you in prayer to the Father.
Oh Andrea I needed to hear this. I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. God kept Ben here for a reason. My older brother and myself are all that’s left out of us four kids. I’m 60 and he is 63. We don’t talk. He is an alcoholic/drug user and I don’t agree with his lifestyle. I’m going to call him and talk to him because tomorrow isn’t promised.
Thank you so so much for sharing what’s been going on in your lives. I wouldn’t be doing this if I hadn’t of watched your video tonight.
I have been a heart patient for over 20 years and just got my forth pacemaker last Monday it changes your life but with Gods help direction I have a full life.
With what you all have been through if you step back and look you will see Gods hand all over your family.
I wish you all the best. I hate seeing anyone suffer and struggle especially to good people like you.
We lost our 14 yr old son to a car accident. I was with him when he took his last breath. He was a believer, so I know he's in heaven and I cannot wait to see him again. It changes you forever. Thank you for your video and I pray you can get answers for Ben.
Prayers
Lost our elderly neighbor this past Sunday. Praying for Ben !
You and Ben are such wonderful people. You are both so honest and sharing so much of your lives. I lost my first husband to suicide it was a very difficult journey but life is meant to go on and God helped me and have found a wonderful man who has given me a wonderful life. Sending healing hugs to Ben and you!
Hey Andrea, WOW, what a scary night! I cannot imagine what y'all went through and felt. I am praying y'all find the answers to this scare. When live in a world driven by negativity and fear in the news on social media and literally every where and this cause so much undue stress on us. We all need to keep our focus on the Lord and follow the path He has created for us. Depending upon this faith and our separation from the negative influences is our best course of action.
I do love you and your family and will pray for y'all that no matter what happens God's will is at the center of all we are doing and praying for.
You commented that you did not believe the thought of God healing this one and not healing that one. I do agree 100% When we pray for healing I do believe God will heal all of us, however some of us will be healed here on earth and some will be healed in heaven. When we die despite all the prayers for healing does not mean God did not answer prayer but He said no to healing them here on earth. Through death we are all healed and restored to the full glory of God's design for us. Please be careful to not say God did not answer our prayer but understand He will at times say No to our prayers.
I am so relieved Ben is ok but I do hope he gets better than ok. I will pray for all the folks involved in his medical care will be able to find what needs to be found. God bless you all. Steven
I lost my wife of 22 years about 14 years ago to cancer, and at first I was angry because a lot of people were praying for her. When she was first diagnosed they gave her a year maybe, God gave us 7 years more than that with her.And so The Good Lord let me understand that she belongs to Him and He was taking her back to Himself and it was not up to me. Shortly after that I got a glimpse of her for an instant one night as I was going to sleep,she was standing in a doorway of a garden with roses and flowers all around,she had a gown that was down to her feet and it was pleated all around.Also she was young and looked so happy, I believe that God was showing me that she was alright.If it was a dream I wouldn’t have remembered all the details of such a short glimpse.Thank you for sharing your life,I am a new viewer and I enjoy your work.
You are such an awesome person you are such a beautiful woman inside out your Christian heart shows through. I know how hard it is in 2009 my husband died in august then my dad died in December. It was. So devastating God helped me through with out him I couldn’t have done it
Oh Andrea, we're so sorry to hear about Ben. Please have Ben tested for Lymes. My son, who's in his late 30's had the same symptoms just 2 weeks ago. He tested positive for Lymes and was put on some major antibiotics. He's much much better now. Lymes symptoms can mimic so many things that lead you in the wrong direction, so please have Ben tested. God bless you both. ❤🙏
Praying for the whole family Andrea! God bless you all!
Sorry for the pain and thankful lessons learned and time granted. We love you and sending lots of love and hugs! Bless you.🙏💕
I am glad that he is seeking help, You are a strong Mom,wife, and friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing with us! We all need to listen to your wise words and follow through with your example. Ben and you all will be in our prayers. You have me in tears my friend. Thank you. Love you guys.❤
Thanks for sharing your testimony. God bless yall.
Three weeks ago I almost died. My kidneys had shut down & the doctor says you can do dialysis and possibly live or if you chose not do it your going to die & even if you do it you might still die. So what do you want to do? I said well I don’t want to die so let do the dialysis. 4 days later I felt like I just died and they brought me back I was bone chilling cold. 4 days passes I’m okay kidneys are beginning to come back the heart doctor says your heart is beating way to fast your In fibula tip retention and we need to shock your hear to stop it and then restart your heart to slow it down so I go in and I come out okay but both my arms feel like I just caught the biggest fish ever and I fought him for two days doctor says that’s normal when we shock you your whole body jumps up and that why your arms feel like that. I’ve lost 100# and 90 of that was water weight. I’m feeling good now. Thank God your husband hasn’t had a heart attack I have had one at age 65. I’ll pray for him and you. And yes we love you back. ❤
I'm so thankful that you were able to share that your husband is still alive! I pray God sends your husband to the medical professionals who will help him in the flesh/who God will lead and guide to care for your husband. I pray for a complete healing over your husband. I'm happy to hear all of the positive things you have shared on here with us, as well! I hope this reaches more people than you currently have subscribers.❤ No need to apologize for crying/showing your raw emotions.💕💕
Did he have lymes test? Sounds like symptoms I had three weeks ago. I did test for lymes. I am praying for each of you and for answers for Ben's healing.
Amen! Andrea! God's blessings on you and your family.
Praying for your family 🙏. Andrea you also are in Ministry on a giant platform. I Love knowing you and your family and take joy that y’all are living for GOD. I ask him to keep Ben healthy and strong and for you to stay strong. His blessings are there for you. Love you 🙏💕❤️
Thank you for your openness with the community who loves your family. We all care about your entire family. I love your videos. God loves you and is watching over all of you. I will offer up my prayers that they find out what is happening to your husband and so they can help him get better with God’s grace. ❤
Will keep Ben in my prayers, hugs to you and your family!
Andria, praying for Ben and you🙏 Praying for answers and complete healing for Ben 🙏
Praying Ben and Andrea! praying for God hand on all of you and that you feel the presences of God all around you.
Andrea, First of all sending huge hugs to you, Ben And the kids. That must have been terrifying. Praying for you all and hope the hospital can find what is wrong. Xx. ❤❤
You touched me in ways I have not been touched before. I have lost many loved ones that I was very close to over the past several years and it was difficult to navigate through to say the least. We could be here today and gone tomorrow, we just never know when the Lord gets ready for us. I want your to know I am praying earnestly for Ben asking the Lord for answers and to give the doctor the knowledge to be able to get to the root of his issues. I have been so encouraged watching your channel over the past year or so as you have gone into so much about faith, family and your journey with the Lord over the past few years. I enjoy when you share your heart with us here on RUclips.
Sweet Andrea, I want you to know I'm thinking about you, and Ben. I'm sorry this is happening, and I'm sending love, hugs, and strength your way. Along with prayers for the doctors to find out through testing what medical problem is causing all the symptoms Ben is experiencing, and provide answers, and a cure. Love y'all❤️
Sounds like with his history of migraines he possibly needs some magnesium glycenate. Low magnesium can cause arrhythmia’s.
He also may have an imbalance in his sodium potassium levels.
My prayers are with you! I had something like that happen to me. I woke up one Sat morning @6am and I thought I was having a heart attack, I woke my husband up and told him about it. My blood pressure was like 280/230 or something like that. They ran all kinds of tests on me. It took them 3 days to get my blood pressure down. They finally found out it was my thyroids causing the problem. I also have high blood pressure & AFIB. I have not had any more problems since Jan. 2020. Ask the doctors to check his thyroids, that could be the problem.
3years ago my husband had a serious stroke ..And I noticed the symptoms…😢😢😢
What it was .confirmed ..so scary…
I cried ..
With the stroke came a lot of test and a lot of things that we discovered my husband is here today three years but the MRI from the stroke we found out he has kidney cancer and bone cancer and he’s been three years doing Chemo but I really thank God 🙏🏽🙌🏽I have him, but it has been a whole game changer the cancer medicines take a lot out of you ,but the stroke really set him back. He lost his peripheral vision in the stroke. He lost his short term memory he no longer drives. I do all the driving. He cannot handle daily activities as much physically fine, but things have to help him juggle his brain or figure it out. He’s not that great at it ,Because he has cancer and his platelets are low he used to be a sheet metal for 35 Now They don’t want him picking up a hammer, drill because of his vision or plus if he cut himself, it could be bad because he has low low platelets and, he’s here. He doesn’t like it. It’s a whole new life for him and I really freaked out because he was always the strong one and the main breadwinner and now our life has changed and their families and they don’t live here or emptynesters neither help every so often, they don’t before you that you cannot handle and so far I’ve been handling it’s been hard but I pray daily and we have a new grandbaby so that’s a big thing to see her a lot. It brings us joy. My husband loves her so it’s just life can be something you know, I pray for your husband I’m not sure if you see miss Lippy but her husband had a heart attack is in recovery. It’s a lot of new things that happen and things that you would think that you don’t want to do so make sure you listen to the cardiologist and get all those CAT scans done for him.
✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜
my dad had a minor heart attack in December, and with his quick thinking, he went to the hospital because at the time, he didnt know, he didnt have alot of pain. Thankfully, he got surgery and is doing very well. You are never ready. I am sorry you went through that. Much love!
I'm a widowed Baptist Pastors wife from Georgia. I was 50 and the Pastor was 52 when God called him home. He went misdiagnosed over 9 weeks of inner ear infection and pneumonia. It was wegeners granulomatosis autoimmune disease. After 32 days 😢God took him home. It's been the hardest thing I've ever done. Laying him to rest. I had trusted God fir a healing and he was but not the way we prayed for. I'm thankful I know he is with the Lord. Then 18 months later our oldest son took his life. I'd like to ask other children of God to pray for me and our twin sons. May God bless and he is my strength ❤❤❤
Definitely pray for and boys, that's really tough, sorry for your loss, too much of it today. BLESSINGS GALORE XOXO
So sorry to hear your losses.
Praying for you.
Stay with the Lord.
Prayers for you, Ben and your family. Hug each other close.
Sending hugs, there's nothing scarier than coming up against our own mortality and that of the ones we hold so dear. We are in our mid 50's and becoming more concerned each year. You are right though the time to make a difference is today not tomorrow. I've been watching and following for a very long time but don't normally comment, today I just wanted to offer some support xx
Hope they find out what’s going wrong with Ben and that they can sort it out quick, fast and in a hurry.
Prayers, hope he is ok, will keep him in my prayers ❤
Those are my exact same symptoms with severe anxiety attacks. They come out of nowhere and they're very scary. I know you said that's not it, and I hope it's not! I don't wish them on anyone. I'm just down the road, holler if you need help! Praying for yall 🙏
When God calls us home we go home. Period. He doesn’t “kill” some and not “kill” others. He gave us two givens in this life….. we will be born and we will die. The how or when isn’t relevant. What matters is how we chose to live this precious life He gave us which determines our returning to Him when it’s all said and done. That’s why none of us should take today or tomorrow for granted. We have to live in a manner that would be pleasing to Him so that when we’re called home we’re ready to meet our Savior.
Oh, Andrea! My heart goes out to you. What a scary experience. I'm glad God spared Ben's life, and you still have your sweet husband. I pray the doctors will figure out what is wrong and how to fix it! My husband died in a plane crash many years ago, and I absolutely understand exactly when you were saying "No, this can't be the way it ends." Two men came to my door in the middle of the night, one was a police officer and one was the chief pilot of the small airline my husband worked for. They told me there had been a crash and there were no survivors. That did not compute in my brain. I said, "Where is he? What hospital? Take me to him!" And they were like, "No ma'am, I'm sorry. There were NO survivors. He didn't make it." Took a long time for that to sink in. I thank God that my husband knew Jesus as his Savior, and I will see him again someday in Heaven. I'm praying for you and Ben, and your mom and your children and their spouses. God bless you all! ❤🙏🙏🙏❤
Hope they checked his thyroid function. I had the same symptoms 200/100 tho it I was having a heart attack. Turns out I have hyper thyroid was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. I never knew till I turned 50 and had a thyroid storm. Never had an issue in 50 years. . 5 years of hell dealing with complications then it all disappeared. Back to perfectly healthy again
Prayers for been and you all. Love your beautiful family
Oh Sweetie. Dont apologize for showing us your feelings. Thank you Lord that he kept Ben in your life. He will get you where you need to be, to help with whatever is wrong with Ben. Have no doubts. Gods got you. Many prayers for Ben and for you. Love to you all ❤
I'm sure your doctors have probably ruled this out but I still feel a responsibility to share, just in case. My husband suddenly became ill (vomiting) and quickly progressed to chest and back pain. He could not even stand up straight and could barely walk. We too thought he was having a heart attack. As it turns out, he had pancreatitis and a gallbladder full of stones. One surgery removed gall stones from his pancreas and another removed his gallbladder. Strangely, he had never had any gallbladder problems or symptoms prior to that night. Blessings to you and your family.
On the mark. Blessings!!!
Prayers going up for Ben and you!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am ready, so ready for eternity with my lord and savior Jesus. My husband passed away in 2017.
It sounds like the devil has been hitting you pretty hard the last couple of years between the loss of your dad, drought, lack of grass, un-bred cows, losing your boar, truck problems, weddings, family health issues, tax problems, and so much more. I have been praying for you. I am so sorry about Ben getting sick. Stress is such a killer. I will be praying about this too. I can't help wondering if he has a magnesium deficiency or AFIB. When I am low in magnesium my heart skips beats. I feel like this is a warning shot across the bow. Sometimes God is just trying to get our attention. God bless you all.
Please remember Jesus gave us His power and authority to RESIST the enemy, the he is REQUIRED to GET OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!! James 4;7
Praying for Ben and you all.
Also, a lot of times women have horrific jaw pain and no pain in the chest or arms. Just so everyone knows that.
Wow, On June 7th I woke up also about 4 in the morning. had some chest discomfort. Wanted to take a shower and went back to bed to see if I felt better. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 9 hurt much worst and started pain started wrapping around my armpits and sides and told my wife I need to go to the hospital. I had a 100% blockage in one. 1 stint put in.
Prayers for my husband and I we are both stressed out to the max and my husband has had 2 mild heart attacks already .we didn't know it but we're told after EKG that he had them and I am worried..my husband is a good man but very stubborn when it comes to going to Dr/er..glad your husband is ok prayers for good outcome
Your story brought tears to my eyes! Prayers that he’s better soon.🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m so glad your market is doing well.❤️
That’s probably why you came up in my thoughts, You all are truly blessed with Gods hands around you and your family. ❤
Keeping Ben and the family in my prayers. 🙏❤️
Praying for your Sweet Family!! ❤🙏🦋
Praying for Ben’s health and also for you!
I hope Ben is going to be OK godspeed his recovery 🙏 😢❤
That thumbnail scared me. I'm glad Ben is OK and hopefully will get answers soon. Y'all have been such a blessing and testimony for God. Love y'all and will be praying ❤🙏
Always keeping you guys in prayer. I pray always for all people to have their eyes opened and be given ears to hear. Yah said, if you love Me keep my commandments. All of them. His Sabbath is a sign between Him and His people. Since the beginning there was clean and unclean animals. These are for our benefit. For us to be healthy. Please world seek His Truth and seek beyond your religious beliefs. Seek His Word daily and He will show you His truth. I say this in love with tears in my eyes. I love y'all ❤️ 🙏
Amen Sister,I’m there and y’all are in my prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for Ben and your whole family. Thank you for sharing and letting all of us know whats happening in your lives.
