Not So Good Day
This morning I was woken up to the sound of 2 phones going off at the same time and just about fell out of bed. I don't know if I could just tell that something was wrong or what but I already started feeling sick before I saw it was the hospital. Sue and I both received phone calls around 6 saying that Jenn's heart was crashing and they needed to get it back on track fast, so praying and panicking at the same time, Sue and I managed to get dressed and get phone calls made while driving. (No people, I was not driving while texting and calling you all so be epically proud of me.) I sat around most of the morning today waiting to hear anything at around 10 we found out that she had suffered a heart attack, hopefully in her sleep, but they cant be sure because she was in bad shape when the alarms started sounding at the nurses station. Her heart was off rhythm and because her heart has a tendency to try and pump backwards and build up pressure, the pacemaker wasn't able to correct it. I cant say that we are shock since this has happened before but not even two hours after finally getting it calmed down, her heart suffered another attack and so they had to go in and relieve the pressure. We haven't been allowed in her room all day and they are still unsure about tomorrows events but the staff here is really skeptical about what is going to happen in the next few months. Things may have to slow down a bit which means a long stay and I am not sure how that is going to go over considering we are already looking at being here until March. My sister and her kids did make the long drive back here today to help sit everything out with me but what it comes down to is needed a new heart. It was stressed again today, to the epic extents that her heart cant handle any of this; however we don't have many options in our case. We really need a lot of prayers here guys. The next two weeks are expected to be some of the worst and they cant say much better for the few after either. We are praying our hearts out here tonight and hoping for better news tomorrow. We will keep everyone update.
