Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), provided a health update concerning his son, Andrew, and his fight against a mysterious illness that has left doctor’s puzzled. Andrew has been hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic located in Rochester, Minnesota, while a team of top-notch medical experts attempt to find the cause of the illness.
Mullin himself has experienced health issues, having undergone surgery for his eyes. He announced that his son is scheduled to have two procedures done. In the video post, Andrew himself says that he wanted to be fully sedated for them, but doctors have denied that request.
The pro-Trump senator shared on social media that Andrew isn’t the only person in the family who is having health difficulties. Mullin’s wife, Christie, had to have “major knee reconstruction surgery.” On the day of the Oklahoma Republican’s eye surgery, his mother suffered a stroke.
Man, that sounds like a run of really bad luck. Can’t imagine all of the stress Mullin is under trying to serve the country and take care of ill family members simultaneously.
Andrew’s health issues have been extremely hard to bounce back from.
Here’s more from Trending Politics News:
“Andrew has been dealing with something a little different since January,” the senator went on to say while standing next to Andrew in a video posted on Tuesday. “He was at practice at OU and um —”
“[I] had a severe side pain and had to go to the E.R. and get checked out,” Andrew chimed in. He then explained that he had fluid in his lungs and some “growth spots that kept getting worse over time.”
“Since the video on Tuesday, Mullin has shared updates on his social media almost daily, if not more often. The day after sharing the health statuses of himself, his wife, his mother and his son, Mullin shared that the Mayo Clinic had ruled out cancer as a possible reason for the growth spots in Andrew’s lungs,” Fox News reported in April.
“Senator Mullin is at the Mayo Clinic this week supporting his son, Andrew, as he undergoes rigorous testing. The senator’s priorities are clear: God, Family, and everybody else,” a spokesperson for Mullin went on to say in a statement given to Fox News Digital.
Mullin then thanked all of his supporters for their prayers during this difficult time of trial for him and his family.
Back in 2020, Mullin’s other son, Jim, suffered a near-fatal blow to the head while wrestling. His pulse was faint as he was airlifted to a local hospital in Tulsa. When President Trump found out what happened, he called Mullin.
True to his character, Trump kept calling Mullin to check on him and his family.
“He was at rehab for 18 months,” Mullin stated during an interview at the time with Bloomberg Government on Capitol Hill. “The president called every week. He flew to Bakersfield, California, to see him. He offered to help us financially, which we didn’t need, but he offered to help us financially with it. He still asks about him. Every time we talk, he still asks how my boy is doing.”
