Gina got the all clear for the pneumonia, she still has fluid around her lungs but it is clearing up reasonably quickly.

The plus one I contributed is for the "clearing up" part.

The latest update for those interested and following.

Mrs A has been feeling very poorly of late, she held off saying much until we saw her Cardiologist, which we did on Wednesday.

Turns out although she had had a Maze Treatment during her surgery, the scarring has not taken full effect as yet and she had been in Atrial Fibrillation for the past 4 weeks. She did not recognize the symptoms as the weird feelings are different since they did the surgery and Maze.

Today we went back to Parkview Hospital for a Transesophageal echocardiogram and if that was clear a Cardioversion to solve her A-Fib.

If you want to know what this is read the layman's version here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioversion

The GRM version is the stopped her heart and them restarted it. This is the 4th time her heart has been stopped for treatment, at this rate she will need a couple of battery terminals to restart her.

The good news is she had a successful procedure and is home resting, and really resting for the first time in weeks.

This has been quite the battle for my beautiful lady.

Keep those prayers coming and thanks for those that have had her in their prayers
