I would like to ask for prayers for my best friend Sandy. She is vax damaged...heart failure with persistent Afib...it is hard for me to watch her slowly dying...and hard for her...she was a happy, healthy vegetarian on little medication 2 years ago...
Tomorrow morning she will undergo a procedure to place clips in her heart to help the mitral valve work better. She is retaining a lot of fluid that is seeping through the pores on her legs. If this procdure does not help she will probably switch to hospice. I would like prayers that the clips work to give her some relief even if for a while...according to the doctor this apparently is not reversible...but you know how they go on and on experimenting...
He husband died of turbo cancer a year and a half ago. She knows this is vax related and has accepted this is what will kill her...but unfortunately she is not the type to make decisions independent of doctors/hospice to seek alternative treament.
Thank you all so much...I know most of us have friends or relatives that are suffering...and it is hard...we all share so much grief...
BTW ...tomorrow is her birthday...she will be 78....God bless you all for your kindness in praying for others...
Prayers that her procedure helps, and that someone gets a grip on the afib. That's making her tired and contributing to her poor blood flow. And prayers for her mood, as well.
She has had 2 cadioversions that didn't work...at this point they are throwing things at the wall to see what sticks IMHO...thank you for prayers...
Cardioversion is the easy treatment. There are more invasive procedures, like catheter ablation.
That's next if this doesn't work according to the doctors...I don't know how much more she can take...really...hospice was just her line in the sand if this didn't work...
Well, she is weakened by losing her husband too. It's very understandable that she would feel lousy in many ways and that at her age she's done enough in life and is ready to move on. And maybe it is. Yet I think there is still some hope.
