11/16/2006: "Update..."

Long week...
Linda's sister did not respond to the medication. They have halted the next step because her blood work indicated trouble with her kidneys and diabetes. They will work to stabalize these issues and we will see what will happen after that. Ralph is hanging in there, he spends most of the day at the hospital and I bring him home around 8:30- he is in bed by 9. Linda is exhausted- both work and this situation are taking a toll- I know she will be excited when it is over.
Thanks for all the prayers- keep them coming.

Edited: They will be adjusting medication this weekend (she will stay in the hospital) they hope they can "zap" the heart at the beginning of the week. She was suppose to be out today but could be in all of next week (yuck for the holidays). Though it is taking awhile- we have had no adverse effects which is good- just stabalizing everything (caution is good). I hope this makes Linda's look like a piece of cake. Thanks for all the prayers.

Edit #2: They "zapped" the heart this am- went into rhythm on the first try. Will be released tomorrow and stay with us till Friday. One down-one to go!
