gardnmom Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 She was supposed to come home Mon., but had an episode with a skipped heart beat, so they have done a couple of tests, shocked her heart and got it back to sinus rythum, and transfered her to Sayre, where the "best" cardiac specialist in the world, so they tell us, is going to implant a special pacemaker and defib unit to keep it beating in a natural rythum. He says he will have her home by Fri. She seems quite comfortable with this. We hope all goes as planned this time. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Lois (edited July 24, 2002).] Quote Link to comment

logcabinmama Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Lois, I will be praying for you mom. I have a pace maker, and it works great. I am sure the two working together will do what is needed for your mom, or they wouldn't have suggested it. There may come a day that I will have to have my pace maker replaced with the combination, but I hope it is a long way off. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Goose Liver Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi Lois, I hope your mom's heart is better soon. Lots of prayers going your way. brigid Quote Link to comment
twilap Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi Lois: I will be praying for your mom too! My mother-in-law had a pacemaker/defibrilator put in two years ago. It saved her life many times. We were so grateful for it. This past March she had a heart transplant. It is amazing the recovery process and the strength she has. Modern day medicine is an amazing thing!!!!

gardnmom Posted July 27, 2002 Author Share Posted July 27, 2002 Mom sends thanks to all for the prayers, couldn't believe that folks all across the country were praying for her recovery. She is feeling stronger today, she is 78, and just has a real zest for life. She passed it on to all of us. Thanks to all of you. Maggie here are some more smilies for you, http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/ ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Lois, These icons are SO cool. Our kids (29 & 32) will never believe that I have learned how to do this. They will be SO impressed!! I don't retain things well after 10:00 pm; so I'll practice tomorrow. I should have mentioned this morning that our experiences with Sayre and Guthrie have all been good. Quote Link to comment
