Heartbeats

Brian's heart ablation was scheduled for June 18th. After a month of waiting, we met with the doctor the week before. He went over everything about the procedure in detail and answered our questions.

 

The day of the operation we arrived bright and early at Texas Children's. Pastor Dave came up and prayed over Brian before he went back. Brian was wheeled away around 8:30.

I received a phone call updating me on Brian and the procedure every hour. That phone call was wonderful because it kept the mind for wondering what might be going on. Around 12 o'clock the nurse called and said "it was slow going". Mel and I went to the food court to eat lunch and thought for sure the procedure would take even longer than the projected 5 hours. However, the next phone call surprised us. They were done and everything went great! Praise the Lord!

The doctor came and talked to us and let us know that he got rid of all of the extra PVC's and was unable to get his heart into Afib or any other life threatening rhythms. Brian was discharged around 8 o'clock that same night and is doing well. He will follow up with his cardiologists in a month or two.

 

We are so thankful for the many prayers for Brian and our family, the phone calls, and texts.

We give God all the glory!
