thanks to a very nice nurse who got that from the employee break room
rather than the soup that the hospital brought). As it turned out
they did not do the ablation at all.
She has 4 spots where the Tachycardia is happening. One of the
locations is at the dyaphramatic nerve and would require 7-8 hours of
surgery to correct and the outcome is unknown. Doing the ablation on
that part of her heart could cause damage to that nerve and mess with
her lung (not good). The prefered course of treatment for her
situation is a medication called Flecanide (Patrick, you can get me
the details on that. :-) )
She'll be on that medication for many years to come in hopes that it
will stop the Tachycardia and potentially fix the problem all
together. She's resting now and we hope to be discharged at about
4:00 pm today.
Thank you all for your prayers and I'll post more later tonight when
we get home.
