WELL WHERE DO I START? THIS IS A BIRTHDAY ILL NEVER FORGET. HAD A GREAT LUNCH WITH MY FRIEND DIANNA. THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. TOOK MARK TO HEART DR., SO THEY COULD CHECK OUT HIS INCISION BECAUSE IT WAS SO RED AND SWOLLEN,WE KNEW THERE WAS INFECTION IN THERE. I GUESS 1 OR 2% OF PEOPLE GET INFECTION WHEN THEY START CUTTING THROUGH THE LAYERS OF SKIN. THEN AIR BORN OR WHO KNOWS HOW,BUT ONCE THEY GET TO THE BLOOD,THERES A CHANCE OF INFECTION. SO WE WERE THERE 2 1/2 HOURS GETTING INFECTION PUSHED OUT OF HIS INCISION. AUGUST 7TH & 5:30 A.M. HE GOES BACK INTO SURGERY. THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT THE DEFIB/PACEMAKER AND THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE LEAD AND TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE INFECTION. THE HARD PART WILL BE TO GET TO THE LEAD THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE SCAR TISSUE,AND THERES A 1 TO 2 % THAT THEY COULD TARE THE WALL OF THE ARTERY. IF THIS HAPPENS WE GO FROM A 2 HOUR SURGERY TO HOURS OF SURGERY. A DIFFERENT SURGEON WOULD DO THAT PART. THEN HE WILL BE WITHOUT THE DEVICE FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS,BUT THEYLL HAVE THE SHOCK PADS ON HIM IN CASE HE NEEDS SHOCKED. THEN ON MONDAY (PROBABLY) THEYLL TAKE HIM BACK INTO SURGERY AND PLACE THE NEW DEVICE ON HIS RIGHT SIDE WITH A NEW LEAD. PLEASE PRAY FOR US AS THIS COULD GO WELL,BUT THERES ALWAYS A SMALL CHANCE THAT HE WOULD NOT MAKE IT OFF THE TABLE. WE ARE THINKING POSITIVE AND PUTTING IT ALL IN GODS HANDS. ONE DAY AT A TIME. I KEEP POSTING AS I KNOW MORE. lOVE TO ALL
