Kelton Balka and Josie Balka
This week, Josie Balka ended up in the ER in the middle of the night. What began as a headache and nausea quickly worsened and resulted in her having difficulty communicating. After running tests and receiving fluids and medicine, Josie was feeling a lot better and was able to return home to her babies. She and Kelton say that the cause of the symptoms was likely food poisoning and dehydration. We know that the Bates and Balkas would appreciate prayer for Josie as she heals.

So sorry Josie and Kelton! What a scare, my sister had a similar incident a couple of months ago. We keep y’all in my prayers! 🙏🏽
ReplyDeletePraying for sweet Josie! So sad to hear that, must’ve been very scary for them. Praise the Lord that she is feeling better and is back at home!
ReplyDeletePoor Josie… just finished praying for her and her family. Last week in our state there were warnings about contaminated foods. Bagged baby carrots was one of them. Others were McCormick seasonings
ReplyDeleteand Italian and Ranch seasoning.
That seems unusual difficulty communicating being a symptom of food poisoning, that happened to me years ago when my son was a baby, my difficulty communicating was so bad I wasn't able to think or speak or understand what people were saying, I was bought to the hospital but after a few tests found nothing so sent me home I had it for a few days and was cured without medicine, when I looked up the symptoms online I found it to be stress and lack of sleep and low blood sugar as I had a newborn, anyway a few years later I was diagnosed by a Naturopath with high cortisol so that must have been the beginning of it, so I advise Josie to eat healthy and control stress and hopefully it won't become high cortisol for her too.
ReplyDeleteWhat. Is High Cortisol? I never heard of it before.
DeleteI have had issues with high cortisol too. Hopefully she will recover soon if she hasn't already.
DeleteHope she is well soon.
ReplyDeleteBon rétablissement bisous de france
ReplyDeleteSo scary! Praying she’s all better by now!
ReplyDeleteIf it was food poisoning; did anyone else ingest the same food? Dehydration can certainly cause these symptoms, too! Drink up!!!
Food poisoning is the worst! It was worse than labor and lasted longer too.
ReplyDeletePoor thing, that's scary. Hope she recovers quickly.
ReplyDeletelow potassium can do it too especially if dehydrated besides. Kiss the babies and heal quickly.
ReplyDeletePraying for a quick recovery for Josie.🙏
ReplyDeleteSo glad your feeling better Josie, I know how scary that had to be. Please get lots of rest, dehydrate.
ReplyDeleteYou probably mean hydrate
DeleteI think we all knew that's what she meant.
DeletePraying for you Josie that you will be 100% better.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless
Marilyn,Joan and Marion
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! You and your family are definitely in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I already commented and I'm not just skimming...
ReplyDeleteCould we get an update on Hazel, Charlotte, and Jayden?
Yes! Would love to have an update on the sweet babies.
DeleteSince Josie had a severe headache, could she have had a migraine. Before I grew much older, I would get bad ones that would last 3 days. My face would go numb. My vision would be affected. They were miserable. In fact I had an acquaintance whose migraine set off a stroke. .
ReplyDeleteOh my how scary. Thank goodness all is well. I will be praying for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteFeel better sweet Josie! <3
ReplyDeleteLove Love her bathing suit, super cute. Praying for her to have a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteJosies bathing suit is super cute!! Love it! Glad she’s doing better.
