Thanks, we used to make this trip once a month when she first had the surgery, but the last time we were there was over a year ago. Tell you what...the trip is a lot easier on us all now that she is in a booster seat. She hated that car seat. An iPad helps, too.

Translation

These are devices to stop strokes in people with irregular heart beats.

The traditional therapy was a drug caused warfarin which requires lots of regular blood tests and increases bleeding.

AND, here I was thinking about a rodent poison! What do I know?

Quote: Scott, it's the same thing. Warfarin is a drug that thins the blood/reduces its tendency to clot, so give enough, and you can cause something to bleed to death - which is what it does in rat baits.

On a different note...

Its 6AM and the kids are out having fun



Good Morning from the CocoBeach Kids

I carried that roller coaster over in my golf bag - a few weeks BC. It travels between Bacolod and the Beach House on the trailer every trip. The kids just love it.

That is "way cool!" You need to take them another length of track.

That track would make a cool water slide.

OZ, I think I could handle 'that' roller coaster - if I take it slow. It does look like fun.

Driving to Nashville tomorrow. Woohoo a 6 hour road trip. They found some swelling in Maddy's last scans so we have to go to Vanderbilt for more scans and a consult with Dr. Kelly, the doctor who did her surgery. Staying an extra day and taking her to the zoo.

Sending y'all prayers

I've had two heart ablations for irregular heart beat. Didn't work, and the doc says, best not go in again, may cause more problems than not. He said I have so many different ones going on.. I may be eligible for a pace maker in the future. Feel the darn heart go ballistic every day of my life. Not going back just yet..if my heart does do more fibrillation..a different type of irregular heart beat, then maybe. I only have those once in a while.
Tried the meds..can't do them, tried the ablations, didn't work. Was on Warfarin for a while, nothing now. So, I ask, if nothing is working, what happens to my heart? The dr. simply says, it will wear down faster. Alrighty then.

Praying for you Cynthia

Love this pic

Isn't warfarin what they put in rat poison?

NM I see already addressed LOL - like so many things, managing the dosage makes all the difference. Watchman sounds very promising. My father was treated for Atrial Fibrillation and my youngest brother has a pacemaker, so I guess it's possible there's a family cardiac issue ... and I worked in a coronary care unit for a while after college, so much to learn. I don't miss all the dying but I do miss the education.
