HMMMMM...... THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING!

Tonight we got a phone call from one of the members of our Elders Quarum Presidency. He told Aaron that since this coming Sunday is our Ward Conference, they are choosing a few famalies in the ward to visit, and they were wondering if they could come and visit us.

When they got to our house, they asked us how things were going for us. So we told them! And when we told them about how Aaron does have a job, but that his blood preasure is keeping him from being able to work, I noticed that one of them was very interested in the situation.

I soon learned that he is a doctor! (I never saw that coming!) He then talked with Aaron about what his doctor is doing , and about his medications. He then told us of something that we had vever been told before.

He told us that when people as young as Aaron have issues with high blood pressure, sometimes it because the Renal Artery is a little too narrow. He then said that when this happens it causes the Kidneys to think that the blood pressure is too low, so they raise the blood pressure to where they think it should be.

He said that the way to see if this is the case with Aaron is to see a specialist, or a cardiologist. And when I asked him if there is anything that can be done to correct the problem, he told me that there are a few things that they can do, but he didn't tell me what they were.

After we talked with them for a little while, they got up to leave. And on his way out the door, the same guy told Aaron that if he had any questions about what he can do to get his blood pressure down, that he would be happy to give him tips and advice. Hopefully this is an answer to our prayers to get Aaron's blood pressure down into a safe range!
