Prayers needed - Mom with heart issues
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:10 pmA 24 year old mom is struggling with several heart issues at this time. She is in heart failure and was recently released from the hospital where they also found that she has a hole between the two upper chambers of her heart.
This makes her oxygen level drop causing more stress to her already weakened heart.
She also has several points that "fire" electrical signals rather than one, and they are firing at different times causing her heart beat to be irregular.
All of these problems have weakened her heart to the point that it is only pumping out about a third of what it should be.
Currently, the family is waiting to hear from the doctor who may be able to patch her hole if it is a certain type of hole. (He is not sure, therefore the second opinion), but he is also going to refer her to a transplant center to be evaluated for a heart transplant as that is a strong possibility.
