Praise God!

We wanted to get this out so everyone could rejoice with us. If you haven't read the last blog you may not know what this means, but she has been in normal sinus rhythm since 2:45 this morning. You cannot imagine how good this news is. Again, it is one of those things that we take for granted on a daily basis but when it isn't working like it should it is very concerning. Last night around 11:00 when they did night rounds the doctor chose to remove the medicine that was supposed to be helping her rhythm because they thought is was just suppressing her heart rate and not actually correcting the rhythm. During the night her nurse warmed her a little and she also had to receive blood. It is not known which of those if any helped get her into a sinus rhythm. Also, her dialysis is working great with one minor hiccup overnight where the tubing was kinked and wasn't flowing. She is taking off more fluid now than she is getting. We left for 15 minutes this morning to go get something to eat and while we were gone they did rounds on her. They removed her chest tube on the spot. It was in place since her procedure but wasn't needed any longer. Also, they took her off lasix since she his getting rid of most of her fluid by dialysis. She has a little urine output but it is minimized by the help of dialysis. They also decided to cycle her dialysis ever 45 minutes rather than hourly to increase her fluid removal. They just replaced her IV pump tree and she actually got rid of about 4 IV pumps. All of these are very encouraging signs of improvement. God is revealing his healing power and answer to all of our prayers.
