A couple of nights ago Taylor was taken to the hospital because of some heart fibrillations. For some reason, the doctors cannot seem to get it under control for any length of time. The doctors have maxed his meds, and Martie is now asking for your prayers.

Dear Lord,

One of our friends is in need of your blessings.
Please continue Your watch over Taylor and his
wife, Martie. There are still flowers for him
to care for, and people who need his strength.

Amen.

I agree with Larry that you are being tested far too much, but you both stand as an example of strength and faith to us all through this. Here is my hand to hold in this circle of healing love.

I heard from Martie this morning.

"Taylor is still in the hospital. Doctors are not able to get his heart rate back to regular sinus rhythm yet.....so, if there is no conversion by Sunday, they are going to transfer him to the hospital where I was for my surgery and do what is called a radioablasion." She shared that procedure from this online link:
http://www.clevelandclinic.org/heartcenter/pub/guide/tests/procedures/ablation.htm

Martie tried to respond last evening to this post, to say "thank you" but she couldn't find the right words at the time.

Taylor and she are very appreciative of everyone's support, and prayers.

Thank you.

Oh, dear! I am so sorry to hear of Martie's beloved husband's health travails! I just read her latest correspondence to you, and I followed the link which provided some very useful information for me, as well.

Martie, I am whole-heartedly praying for Taylor's heart to settle back into a normal rhythm.

I am sending a calming, healing hug for him ~ and for you.

Dear Pip friends....I appreciate each one of you taking the time to offer words of healing thoughts and prayers.  I read them to Taylor just now and he was very touched.

The doctors are going to transfer him to another hospital where the radio ablasion proceedure is done, as soon as they have a bed.  That could be as early as tonight, but no one seems sure.  He is in a unit in the hospital that monitors his heart constantly and if anything goes too haywire, the bells and whistles go off.

He's in good spirits and has been getting support from farmily, via phone.  The grandgirls especially please him when they call with,  "How are you feeling, Pa".  He's also enjoying teasing the nurses.

I've been staying with him all day in a very hard and uncomfortable chair with timeouts to walk the miles of halls that Kaiser is known for.  Also, taking time to walk to the fast food places close by for my own food.  (sans frenchfries)  Did you know that Rb's makes a chicken, walnut, apple, raison salad that's great?

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!I'll write again when I have more news.

Thank you for letting us know what is happening, Martie. I sincerely hop all will go well for Taylor, and that you continue to nourish yourself daily with good food. RB's fare sounds like a great salad!
We will continue the vigil here, and await your news. Hugs to you both!

Good news! It seven this evening Taylor will be transferred to the hospital where they will do the radio ablasion. I don't know when, if tomorrow or next day, but at least it will be done and he will be better. I know this. Thank you again...keep the good thoughts coming.

Dear Friends

As some of you know, Feb 21st is the date that my daughter, Michelle, died.  I've posted my yearly poem of love and remembrance in the open forum.
/pip/Forum105/HTML/000645.html

February, and especially that date, have been seen by me for many years, as a time when "bad" things happen.  This day I am going to change that!

Today, Taylor is going to have the procedure for his heart.  At first I was dismayed concerning the date, but now I feel like the time is perfect.  Now I can let go of the places in the past that February has taken me and think only of healing.  That is what I am doing.  Please do it with me.  Thank you.

Dear Friends....The radio ablasion was sucessful and one more night on watch and he should be home tomorrow.!! Isn't it amazing what all that positive vibration can do? One new joy came to me today also...my youngest son announced that he and his wife are going to have their first child! Blessings to all of you for your support...I know that it helped him and it sure did me. Thank you.
