Miracles and blessings!

Sometimes in every life there is a chance to look toward Heaven and thank our Father for the miracle of life, love and happiness. Yesterday was one of those days for me. My dear husband has a heart problem. One that can be taken care of with medications but we don't have insurance and he doesn't like the side effects so we haven't been buying it. He called me yesterday at 5pm. and asked me to come to the shop because he was having some heart problems. I drove over there immediately and then had to drop Katie off at the house before I could take him to the hospital. I drove through 5 o'clock traffic worried about him but not hysterical, this had happened before and he looked okay so in my mind I was telling myself he was just be hypochondriacal. I didn't want it to be anything major. I dropped him off and parked the car and then went in to see how things were going. The nurses had put him in a wheel chair and then they took him back. I still hadn't fully come to the understanding that this was serious. When I went back after getting the paperwork I found him in a room with about 6 doctors and nurses and they had him taped up to all sorts of machines. The scary one was the one that was monitoring his heart rate. It was up over 200!!!!!! They asked him to bare down like a bowl movement because this sometimes makes the heart rate go back to normal but it wasn't working it only made his heart rate go up I saw it at 250 and the nurse said that it had gone up to 270. I was panicking and not doing so great. What can I say I kept thinking he better not die in front of me I don't think I can handle that. I kept a small prayer of HELP!! running through my mind and the doctors gave him some kind of meds to bring his heart rate down, the first dose didn't help and then they gave him a second with two shot at the same time. Heavenly Father answered my prayers and finally David heart rate came back down and was normal. I don't think I have ever been so worried in my life. This is not the first time this has happened to him but it is the first time that I have seen it and been witness to just how scary this can get. He has super ventricular tacnacardia with a microvalve prolapse, lots of big words to mean that his heart has a short circuit and can start beating really fast and doesn't stop itself. I will have to make sure he goes to see a cardiologist which is hard since we do not have insurance but I am not willing to loose him to this when there is a pill that he can take daily to keep it from happening.

I soooo love my dear sweet husband and I am thankful that it was not his time to go. I don't even want to imagine life without his love and companionship with me everyday. So go home and kiss your sweetie and let them know that they are the world to you because you never know what can happen and say a prayer or two for them. May God bless you all as I have been blessed.
