Hi guys (((((hugs))))) thank you sooooooo much for the hand holding and prayers....they have just gotten her settled in a new room in the cardiac ICU......things have settled down some now and she is resting comfortably......what happend is when they got the results from the MRI it showed a large fluid effusion (build up of fluid) in the sac around her heart....the bigger problem was that is was on the back side of her heart and surrounding the main artery into her heart cutting off blood flow and causing her blood pressure to drop.....they couldn't go in and just put a simple drain in because of where it was located so they had to open a window into her chest and cut a small window into the pericardium to allow it to drain quickly.....they actually called me in the hall and said "the fluid is building at a rate that if we don't do this now by tomorrow or the next day it will cut the blood flow off completely and cause a heart attack which she won't survive....this is the only way to save her life, but when the fluid drains out and the blood rushes back in it could cause an attack then as well".....I was never so scared in my life as when I signed that paper and in only about 30 minutes we were being rushed down the hall to the O.R, vent and all with a team of 8 ICU personnel to make sure there were no problems on the way.....but God is good and she handled it amazingly well.......and made the transfer to the new room smoothly....you are all so amazing that even when I didn't have time to fully explain....you all heard a sisters cry for help and came running with the love and prayers and hand holding .....it means more to me than I can ever express....I will update you all more tomorrow (((((group hugs)))))
