Carol UPDATE

The cardiologist that specializes in the electricity of the heart(electrophysiologist) has seen Carol and has been watching her closely for a few days now. He has decided that enough of the medicine is out of her system now to determine that her heart is just not wired correctly. This is likely congenital as several of Carol's siblings have similar trouble with their hearts. Carol is going to require a dual chamber pacemaker. This just means that there will be two leads coming from the pacer. One will lead to her upper chambers and the other will lead to her lower chambers. They will fire when needed so that her heart will beat at a good speed as will as in the correct order. She will still need medicine to keep her heart from racing.

She will be getting this put in tomorrow at 3:30ish
Please say a prayer for her!

If you would like to send a card you may use this link to send her one electronically and they will print and post them in her room for her.
They have her as Barbara Bullard, room CCU 10.
