Hubby in Hospital

[Marilyn]

Gayle, they can't get his rate to stay below 120 to 130, so they are going to shock him on Monday. The first cardiologist, who is now on vacation, told us that they need him in a-fib in Houston to do the mapping. Now the cardiologists are saying that they need to get him out of a-fib, and it won't affect the mapping. Houston can still do it. Hubby very much wants a cure so he doen't have to live with the possiblility of this happening again at any time. Just think if this had happened in June right before Melissa's wedding. Do you know if bringing him out of a-fib will affect the accuracy of the mapping?

He's taking the max of the drugs and they can't give him any more. His blood pressure is dropping too low.

I'm always afraid when they shock him. A friend of our almost died. Her heart stopped and they almost didn't get it restarted. Hubby did fine when they shocked him last year. I'll be a basket case while they are doing it though. He's just got too much living left to do!! He has to be here for his grandkids. He just can't miss that!!!! And I need him, not good alone and girls are gone.
