Update

THIS IS A POST FROM MARCH!  JUST ADDING IT IN TODAY, SO DON'T GET CONFUSED THAT IT IS A CURRENT POSTING.


Thanks to EVERYONE who has sent love, and had us in your thoughts and prayers. We are blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!
I am still in the hospital, but hoping to go home tomorrow. I still have the pic line of Milrinone, and the heart medication Toprol, has been increased to 37.5 mg. I have 2 specialist coming today to talk to me about a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD (Same thing Dick Cheney has). I have not decided on this procedure yet, but it does sound positive. I also found out that because my of my antibodies, I am going to be very hard to find a match for a heart transplant. My Dr. said that I was certainly a challenging patient. :) (Me....challenging???) Well, I will update you more when I find out some further info. Once again, Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I GREATLY appreciate each and every one of them.
Love to all and God Bless!
