Prayer Request

Hubby awoke during the night with a racing, irregular heartbeat. Lucky for us, Mimi is staying with us and with her cardio-nursing background, shuffled us right out the door to the ER. He is having atrial fibrillations and is still at the hospital. The doctor gave him medications during the day in hopes that they would jump his heart to return to a normal rhythm. Though the medications helped slow his heart rate, his heart is still fibrillating (quivering) rather than doing full pumps. Though this is fairly common and rarely life threatening, the greatest concern at this point is blood clots. He is being given injections to prevent clotting and is scheduled for a procedure tomorrow to shock his heart back into rhythm and also to send a scope down his esophagus to look at his heart. Our prayers are that his heart will jump back into rhythm without the procedure and that there will be no clotting complications. Please pray with us.
