I can hardly believe I’m posting from another hospital room. Sam felt really lousy when he got up this morning and his blood pressure was super low. We had a follow up visit with the cardiologist at 11:30 so we went. I had to put him in a wheel chair because he felt so lightheaded. They ran an EKG and announced that he was in AFib. She said she couldn’t allow him to go home with his heart rate that way and his BP so low. They agreed to do a direct admit so we could forego the ER. Long story short they have started him on Amiodarone hoping the rhythm will convert. They also started Heparin because if it doesn’t convert by morning they will do a TEE to check for clots. If no clots they will cardiovert. Please pray for it to convert before morning so he doesn’t have to have the cardioversion. I’m praying all is well in the morning and I can come and take him home. Emma needs your prayers too as this is all very upsetting to her. Tonight is just 3 weeks after surgery. She wants her Daddy back. Good night all and thanks again for your prayers and support.

We prayed at Bible Study this evening, and you know lots of prayers are coming your way, not only for Sam but for you and Emma! May you feel the Lord’s presence with you tonight!
we were distressed to hear you were back in the hospital Sam.Our prayers are for you Sam,and for Rita and Emma to.
Oh, Rita, my heart is aching for you and Emma. I’m hoping she has friends at school and church that she can confide in. Very important at her age. And also for you – I know your Fellowship at church is important to you all. I am always comforted by the phrase about Christians: “See how they love each other”….. Happy Sam was able to enjoy God’s beautiful weather lately…..do hope he hasn’t been overdoing it! Agape’…
You are a amazing strong family. Prayers for all.
