Need Your Prayers

[MarkLawson]

While writing this, I find myself in the hospital for the fifth time since Monday of last week, having a heart issue called atrial fibrillation. This causes my heart rate to go up to around 150 bpm. They successfully convert me to normal rhythm & then I go back into A-fib within a day or two. Please pray for my wife especially. She has lost a husband before, and while I know she is strong, I'm certain this is especially hard on her.

Thanks

You and your wife have my prayers. Hope they can get things under control. God bless and may you enjoy the holidays.

Mark,
I have a family member with the same condition. His onset was when he was in his teens. This is a very treatable thing. It would suck to have to take the meds everyday but it is better than the alternative. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Not a good diagnosis, and not a good time of year to be hospitalized, but they do wonders with controlling A-fib these days. I know your faith in the Lord will sustain you during this rough spot in the road. Keep the faith, do what your doctor says, and we will take care of the prayers.

You and your wife will be in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope the doctors get this figured out. I believe worst case is they hook you up with an internal defibrilator. But, there are medications too. Sure hope you don't have to spend Christmas in the hospital.

Doc's need to find the right long term treatment plan after the conversion. Be strong and Merry Christmas to you and your wife.

Mark,
I went through the same thing this past year. My heart was beating up to 200bpm. I now wear a pace maker and had an ablation procedure in early August. Since the heart surgery I have had no A fib. Having it scares the hell out of you. You revisit a lot of things in your life, family, your belief and faith in God, things you've done, and things you haven't done. Hang in there. Lots of people including my brother live normal lives after treatment. Take care, and pm me if you want to talk about it. My Spyder was on my bucket list and because of Afib, I bought mine this fall.

You got our prayer Bro.

[Sarge707]

My Prayers are with you.

[MarkLawson]

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I've had A-fib for years & have been on meds for it. I had an ablation the end of October. Will likely need a second. Something has changed a couple of weeks. Now it is much more frequent and persistent. I've been on meds for years.

[CyncySpyder]

You know Teddy & I will have you, your wife, family & doctors in our prayers

[SteveMac]

Take care of yourself Mark. We haven't met, but you are part of the family.
My bro-in-law had A-Fib and he is doing well now. I guess it is meds?
Regardless Prayers for you bro.

MY BROTHER-- Bobbie and I just paused and asked the Great Physician to guide the Drs and to give your bride comfort. And for YOU to be relaxed. Rest in the comfort of His presence my friend! TXT me if you want to talk.
