Andrea Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Not that we can complain b/c we are so lucky, but there is like never a dull moment. My mom was doing great with rehab, started last week. Today she got sent home before she started b/c her pulse was high. She went to her dr and got an ekg and now she has artirial fibliration. I looked it up on line and it does not seem all that serious in the scheme of things, but it does mean more dr visits before she can continue on rehab. So that is the latest I have not updated on her in awhile. Scans should be at the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy RN Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 There are some meds for that. You are right it is not as serious as say-cancer BUT it can be serious. Make sure the Dr take care of it! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy B Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Prayers coming for your Mom. You guys look like you are really close - my Mom and I are too. Love the picture. I bet you have fun together too. My Dad has had that for several years (he is 84) and manages just fine (plays tennis 3 times a week). Thanks for the up-date. How about you - how are you doing?

Tami Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Good luck with everything... never a dull moment is there with some folks!! I love the pic too! Your mom looks great! She reminds me of Paula Deen the woman that has the cooking show on the food network.. very vibrant and healthy looking. (my husband "forces" me to watch Paula's show on Sundays hoping it will inspire me to be a good cook! NEVER going to happen...though. I'm waiting around for our LCSC cookbook maybe that will do the job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Andrea, Your Father is fortunate to have two such lovely ladies in his life. Hope your Mom's current problems are handled quickly and completely. And you are right. It is high time your Mom catches a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I LOVE THAT PICTURE! it makes me so happy to 'see' people I've come to care about here. hi mom!!! a-fib: my mother had a bout of it after her pericardial window procedure, it was brought under control with cardizem in a day's time. sorry your mom needs more attention, still, but it does seem like something eminantly manageable. thanks for the update, and I wish you all an easy fast. xoxo amie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ah, geesh. You do wonder, sometimes, when our dear moms will catch a break. Glad you all have such a positive outlook on it! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks so much everyone She is seeing a new cardiologist tomorrow b/c her old one just never returns phone calls. Tami--I told my mom what you said about the cooking lady and she said that is the HUGEST compliment, she loves Paula and you made her day Nancy--I am ok, plodding along, neurotic as usual. I hate the physical ailments that come along with severe anxiety. I never used to have sympahty for that stuff when I was growing up. Now I do big time.

shineladysue Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Andrea, Both of my parents have A-fib also... controlled with meds. Actually, it can be serious and my Dad found out he had it after having a mild stroke due to the heart whipping up blood clots... Sounds like it is a blessing your mom was going for rehab and it was discovered. Prayers for you and mom always. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 She is scheduled to get shocked at the hospital on Monday. Hopefully it is no big deal, just some anastheisa and paddles It should be a day procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 ((((((((ANDREA & MOM)))))))) Gonna say several extra prayers. Hang in there! Love & Hugs, Con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Andrea, Prayers for you and Mom. As for being shocked, I remember my mom's cardiologist offering that as an option. He acted like it was routine and no big deal. The thought sounds scary, but I really think it is done all the time. Hang in there. Love and prayers, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
