My mom's doctor put her in the hospital yesterday.
While we were at his office, you could see her jugular vein jumping on her neck.
Her heart is really out of rhythm.
She's been on medicines for several weeks now and it hasn't brought it back in to proper rhythm. So the only thing that they can do for her is put her under, stop her heart and shock it in the hopes that the rhythm will be corrected.
My mom's heart procedure will be this morning at approximately 8AM.
The doctor told her this morning that she needed to start considering dialysis since her kidney function was not producing enough red blood cells and she was still anemic.
So if you want to pray for her kidneys to be healed and her procedure to be successful, I would certainly appreciate it.

My husband Todd had a stress test last week and the doctor wants to do a heart catheterization to see what's going on. The doctor believes that he is having some blood leakage issues, thickening of the heart, and an enlarged artery. The doctor wanted to schedule that for tomorrow but since Todd has quite a few jobs scheduled for the next few weeks he decided to put it off since recovery would not allow him to work.

I'm about to lose what little sanity I had left over here, all prayers are appreciated.
