11/12/2006: "Stressful times..."

Well these two are both going in for procedures.
Joann has an Atrial Fibrillation and will go into the hospital on Tuesday for Antiarrhythmic medications. She will stay for 3 days to see if it adjusts her rhythm. Many complications can happen- stroke, heart will stop and the may have to place in a pacemaker. This is serious and her sister has not been in good health. Her husband Ralph will be staying with us while she is in the hospital.Linda is very worried- to add to that...
Linda has the same problem but they will do a Catheter Ablation- they thread a catheter through the blood vessel into the heart. They set the heart into an irregular beat and map where the "problem" is. They then send a radio frequency energy to the area and it destroys the problem cells so they can now longer send signals that cause irregular rhythms. Lower risks but still risk of heart attack. She goes in for her procedure December 1. I will take the day off and spend the night at the hospital with her. Please keep the family in your prayers.
