Praise the Lord! Jason Michael came home this evening around 6 p.m....
The did a cath and took a good look at his heart. The new valve and stem are working wonderfully and there were no clots. So they went ahead and shocked his heart and it is back in rhythm. He came home with more meds this time. He is so much better but he could still use prayers. Thank you everyone. I pray that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are spending it with those you love.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Love, Charlie & Barbee

Jason Update
Jason is scheduled for a heart cath at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday). If there are no clots of any kind, they plan to shock him then. One medication they tried on him today worked for a little while, then they heart beats went out of control again. They needed to make sure there were not clots before they do the shock. Plus, they want to take a good look around. I feel better knowing that. Will update more tomorrow after the heart cath.
Jason Update
I just got off the phone with an update on Jason Michael. His heart is not responding to any of the medications. So some time today they are going to have to shock his heart to try and get it to calm down to a normal rhythm.
He is frightened to death, of the unknown. He is afraid to sleep. They did give him something to help him to sleep last night. They can not do much in that sense because his Blood Pressure is so low. His dad and sister are on their way to the hospital, so they will be there when they shock his heart. The whole family is in a panic. Jason's mom Doreen, is in such a state of fear. Please pray for her too.
I will update later today, when I get news of how the shock of his heart goes.

Jason Michael Update
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give you and update on Jason Michael. He is home and doing well. Praise the Lord! The home nurse came by the house yesterday and said his incision is looking really good and he seems to be right on track. They will be back next week to remove the stitches from where the tubes were. He is still to take it very easy for the next two weeks. He is still very sore and is complaining about his back a lot. The doctors told Jeff and Doreen that he is very lucky to be alive. There was more damage than thought. In order to get to all that needed to be repaired, his heart was nearly cut in half. The panic attacks have stopped. They were very bad. Was causing him problems enough that they had to give him medication to calm him down. When he would wake from sleeping he went into a very bad panic and was moving around too much.
Jason is no longer a greenish gray color either, his normal coloring is back.
Well, our family sure has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We count our blessing daily and hope you do too.
We are having some beautiful weather here. Temps in the lower 70's. Fabulous for taking a drive. Charlie and I plan to take another one tomorrow, with the top open and our hair blowing in the wind............
Love ya, Barbee
