Amazing!!!

So yesterday I had a doctors appointment. They did an EKG and quickly found out I was still out of rhythm and so the decision was made to cardiovert me (shock my heart). So things quickly moved in to place and before I knew it they had an IV started within minutes.

Good news! They only cardioverted my heart once and it went into rhythm and it stayed in rhythm for another hour that I was still in the hospital. And this morning while I was listening to my heart with my stethoscope it was still in rhythm!!!

Thanks for alll the prayers! I know my doctor is good, but I know there is a higher power involved.

Please keep praying that my heart will stay in rhythm!

BYU LAW

Sarah and I will be staying in Provo for 3 more years! I got a call from the Dean of Admissions this morning offering me a place at BYU Law school!!

I look forward to having my heart broken for 3 more years by BYU football. I look forward to trying to win intramural championship T-shirts, and most of all not being away from my wife.

We will get to stay in our house. We are excited to stay in nursery and our activities committee calling. We are really excited about being around a lot of our friends and family! It looks like I'll get to be a Cougar again!

A little unexpected

So today I went in to the Doctor for a quick appointment. They told me to come fasting just in case they needed to do anything. I went expecting the worst to be another TEE with cardioversion. (and having them weigh me, I hate knowing that number)

This is how the conversation went

Doctor: "So it looks like you I won't be needing another TEE and cardioversion quite yet."
Me: "Really! That is GREAT! I was preparing myself for the worst, so this is great!"
Doctor: "Well...We will be changing up your medication to something stronger."
Me: "Perfect! What is it?"
Doctor: "Tikocyn, The bad news is, you will need to be in the hospital for 3 days so we can monitor you because the drug has some possibly dangerous side effects, and we will need to monitor you closely."
Me: "Oh"


So it looks like I'll be here for a while. Hopefully this drug treatment will be effective and my heart will cooperate. Please keep me in your prayers!

If it wasn't for Joe...

A few weekends ago we went camping with a big group of friends. I quickly realized that if it wasn't for Joe I would starve while camping. Which is weird because back at home he would starve if he didn't have me.


He does everything from chopping wood, to starting a fire, to setting up the tent.

Hospital Update

So Joe and I were finally able to leave the hospital Saturday evening. My heart was doing some crazy things and so they decided to cardiovert (shock) my heart to put it back in rhythm. That worked and I was able to leave the hospital with a heart that felt so good. Later that night my heart rate started to increase again and it has been high ever since, today it got a little higher. So the Doctor wants me to come in for some tests. The Doctor expected my heart rate to be a little high because they were agitating it for 6 hours during the procedure, but they don't really want it as high as it is.

I believe in the power of faith and prayer and would really appreciate if you could say some prayers for me. This Sunday is fast Sunday, so if you could include me in your fast I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for everyone's love and support, it has been really encouraging.
