Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Tomorrow morning my wife will undergo heart sugery to get rid of a heart condition she had since she was born

read about it here:
http://www.americanheart.org/present...dentifier=4785

read about what she is having done here:
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2957.htm

I am only posting this cause I don't feel like icq'ing people close to me to tell them to pray for her, or keep her in their thoughts...this was a quick way to hit everyone at once

The reason we are worried is because this is the second time she has had this attempted, she is in the .01% of people that has the problem where normal medical equipment couldn't get to

They have to induce cardiac arythmia in order to find it, and sever it with radio frequency waves

anyway, we are very tense here tonight

i am going to bed right now, and won't wake until we drive her to the hospital...and won't be checking email, icq or this thread until tomorrow afternoon, after it is all over

just pray for my wife tomorrow morning between the hours of 9am-12pm...please..i don't want to loose my baby, and as routine as all the articles and information say it is, nothing about the heart is routine to me

i love my wife, and don't want to lose her........

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Jace, a girlfriend of mine just recently went through a similar heart surgery within the last week, shes 23 and has gone through 6 or 7 heart surgeries in her life, some more drastic than others and all have had great outcomes, i hope everything goes welll with your wife, best thing for her to do is remain positive through this very frightening stage of her life, you also have to be strong for her since she will lean on you for support and the will to come through it fine.

Best of luck
sincerest regards and well wishes to you and your wife

My best wishes.

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Will keep the two of you in my thoughts today, Jace. Please keep us informed on how it goes!!

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

It really is a very routine procedure, even though it looks scary as hell. I have a friend who's had it done. Miracles happen on the quarter hour these days.

Still and all, we'll be pulling for you guys in our neck of the woods.

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Jace, my thoughts will be with you ...

Wishing you the best,
Ryan

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

we just got back, and my wife no longer has a heart condition

She was wheeled into surgery at approx 8:15, and the doctor told us that the procedure would take approx 2-6 hours

the doctor was a very funny/cocky guy, and about 9:05am he walks out with a huge smile and says "she's cured"....and we thought he was joking...he wasn't

apparently even though my wife has had this tried twice before, each time it was attempted the procedure lasted 4+hours, and failed....this doctor is one of the top in the country, and he foudn it and ZAPPED IT!!!

it may be routine for most people, but the way it was positioned in my wifes heart made it very difficult for most docs to hit it....but not Dr. Beshai!!

anyway, we are all sitting here, my wife is drinking her first cup of coffee with a red bull chaser...haha...j/k

we are fucking happy as hell, and loving life right now!

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Fucking Awesome!!!!

Congratulations , and all the best :)

I was literally just wondering how it was going

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Outstanding news, I'm chuffed to bits for you both :okthumb:



That's a good thing by the way :D

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

man, i just can't believe how easy it was...

here is the funny part though

apparently, sammy does not like to "go under" for surgery...so when the drugs start kicking in she starts flailing around....apparently they had to pull out the wrist and ankle straps...and when she starting trying to sit up violently, they had to push her down via her chest and hold her forcibly and wait for the sedatives to kick in....

now she has this huge internal bruise from where they had to push down while waiting

and that is the only part of anything that hurts on her body...

anyway, very happy times in my house!!!

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Superb news :woohoo:

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Have you noticed they changed yr sig on GFY ??

If you don't answer this message in an hour , someone please ban her :)

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

I think it'll be a mad scramble to push the ban button in this particular case.

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

That's great news.....glad to hear she's going to recover and all is well!!!

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Very happy everything worked out!! :)

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Glad to hear everything went great Jace. Give her our regards and warm wishes from everyone at Oprano! :)

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Great news Jace! I'm so glad everything went so well!

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Great news Jace. :) :) :)

Re: Tomorrow my wife will have cardiac arrest
 

Jace... I am glad your wife is doing so well. It is very difficult when the one you love is in pain and there is nothing you can do. You have to depend on some cocky doctor to make things better.


I am glad she is ok... now don't you have a radio show to do? Let that girlie rest and recover. Take care of her.
