Prayers Needed!
Hey everyone, I had been so worried about not see Marilyn on here so I PM'd her a few times. I thought maybe she was busy with the home tour and she has, that and work and everything else, but also her husband is in the hospital. His heart rate is very high and even with the meds is having trouble getting it lower.
So if you could all join me keeping Marilyn, her husband and daughters (Lissa is one) in our prayers I know she would appreciate it. Maybe send a PM or something letting her know we have them all in our hearts.

Ladies, thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts and prayers. We are doing okay. Hubby is out of the woods as far as his condition being life threatening. They have his heartrate down to a safer level, but not low enough to go home. They keep increasing his meds, but he's still running between 104 and 165 beats per minute. When he went into the hospital he was at 240 bpm. He has to get below 110 to go home. Then he will continue on the meds and if he does not convert to a normal rhythm in a couple of weeks has to go back in for a stronger drug and if that does not work, they will shock his heart to try to get it to convert. What he has is called atrial fibrillation. I Googled it, and 2.2 million Americans have this condition. Some of them never convert to a normal rhythm, their rates are just controlled at a near normal level. The doctor says with the right treatment he can live a long, normal life with just a slight inconvenience. He's very healthy. His blood pressure, cholesterol and other factors all look good.
I was pretty freaked out at first, and am still very concerned since he's kinda hit a plateau and they are having trouble getting it to go lower. The doctors say there are still lots of options left, but he's getting so tired of being stuck in the hospital. Again, thank you all so much for your concern. It means a lot that you all care!! Lissa will be home from school on Saturday, so we will all be together. We can really use her. The Parade of Homes tour begins Saturday.

I've been on here since it happened, I just kinda figured it was Mum's news to tell. Plus I've been busy with finals so I didn't really have enough time to dedicate to an entire post, sorry I didn't tell you gals sooner!!
I'll be home and my beau is coming for the weekend so he can help too, if Pops gets to go home before this weekend he'll have an EMT right there to help. This next week I won't be around too terribly much, but after that they're gonna get so much of me being around they'll get sick of me. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers!! I'll make sure either Mum or me keeps everyone posted!!!
