Setbacks.
She seems unable to cope with stimulation while awake. Her heart has fibrillated about 15 times in the last hour. They have sedated her again to prevent the fibrillations from recurring.
The hope is that with enough rest, her heart can relax and the continuous fibrillations will stop.
If not, they will consider more serious treatment. More invasive surgery.
We are hoping for her heart to recover on its own without any additional surgery. If you feel so inspired, please include that in your prayers.
We have heard of many people praying--people who love Mom and haven't seen her in years. We are so grateful for them. We are so grateful to know that we are not alone in our concern and love and adoration for her.
Thank you.

Your continued prayers
are much appreciated. As I was talking to her a few minutes ago her heart stopped, the implant defibbed her, and her heart stopped again, implant defibbed, etc. It was terrifying. I left the room. I'm afraid I was exciting her.
Thank you so much for your prayers. We can feel them.
I have this on my phone. And it's nicely distracting. And lovely. http://www.vimeo.com/18231148

Coming to.
Mom is slowly waking up. Hallelujah. And although I am relieved, there are still concerns. Her heart irregularity is continuing. That needs to stabilize. And she's not fully conscious yet. I think this was really hard on her body.
Thank you
For your prayers. They will be trying to wake her up early tomorrow morning. Or later this morning I guess. She seems able to hear us. Especially dad.

Pray.
Mom had a successful surgery this morning to implant the defibrillator. When they tried to wake her up, her heart stopped. The defib started it again, but then it stopped again. She was in a continuous state of heart stopping and starting. They attempted this 6 times.
She is now in a sedative induced coma. It is not good. We are going to see her.
Please pray. Pray with all your might. I beg you.
