Well, this past Tuesday I went back to Dr. Rivera and found out the results of my tests. It seems that I do have blockage. Now when I say blockage, I don't mean cholesterol blockage. What is happening is my heart is beating too fast for my valves to open and shut properly so the blood flow to my heart is not getting to the necessary areas. If it continues any longer, I could be looking a some BIG problems. I have been put on Metatoporol which is a beta blocker. I will try this dosage for 6 weeks and then go back in and see if there is any progress. If in 6 weeks there is no change, he will up my dosage and we'll do another round of 6 weeks. Due to all of the medicines I already take, Dr. Rivera will only up the medication that one time, after that a heart calve will take place (that if there is no change). Please continue to pray. I had to get a blood pressure cuff because the medication also lowers the blood pressure so I have to monitor it to make sure it doesn't get too low. Again, both Chris and I know that God will supply our needs but this time seems to be the hardest. Especially with the expenses of doctors and medications and new equipment. Chris and I are praying that our thoughts will be eased and regardless of the surrounding issues, we will have a wonderful Christmas. How exciting is this, we get to celebrate the birth of Christ!!! Ugh...just so amazing. Chris has been so supportive, even though we don't see him as much anymore. He's been working hard...this past week he has been working at Mail Source all day and then working at Applebess until about 11:00 p.m. and then pulling double shifts on the weekend. He's so tired but continues to have a great attitude. I've been trying to rest but it seems that my list of things to do just keeps growing and growing. I've been getting in one to two naps during the weekend and one nap during the week days (usually right after I get home from work) and yet I don't have a problem falling asleep at night. That's just some of the symptoms of my heart stuff...tired, weakness, etc...
Anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up. I hope everyone remembers what we're really celebrating this Holiday.

Hey, it sounds like ya'll are really having a tough time. I am so sorry, please know that our prayers continue to be with your family.
Where are ya'll going to church? We go to Trinity Fellowship, and LOVE it! The reason I am bringing this up is this...Our church has a ministry that meets on Monday ( maybe every-other Monday) nights at a house near the church. They have people there that pray for healing, it's called the Healing Ministry. There have been some AMAZING miracles happen there. It is a very anointed ministry. It's not crazy like you see on TV, just the power of God unleashed to move in the lives of the people. If you feel comfortable, I think you should go. Let me know if you want more information.
