Subject: More information on John.
I have now learned that the reason he is still alive is of course because of
the Lord. However, the surgeon explained to Vicki that the aneurysm was
very large and so it had kind of walled itself off to keep much leakage from
occurring. Miraculous. I have also learned that it is a left ventricular
aneurysm. The ventricle is one of the chambers in the heart. I have done
two other cases of this since I have been transcribing and those two didn't
make it.
I have also learned that John's heart began acting very erratic prior to
surgery. \he is on Coumadin which keeps the blood from coagulating. They
usually reverse this with Vitamin K. However, because his heart was so
erratic they went ahead and started the procedure without reversing the
Coumadin. This is why there is a lot of bleeding. I am asking everyone
with great diligence to please pray against this bleeding. It is very
important that they get it under control.
Sandy
