Medical Update

Easter Sunday:
I want to start by saying God is amazing and wonderful! We were able to celebrate Easter with Tracy and her family. She is doing well and she is as precious as ever.  Tracy has always been such a servant on Easter, helping in the kitchen and serving everyone the drink of their choice. That is quite the task because we have a LARGE family! It was sooooo great to have her there. She looked great and felt great but she did have to leave a little earlier than usual. She tires easily!  We are so thankful for her healing and for God's mercy and power in her life. Thank you Jesus!!!!

Now for the medical update:
Tracy visited with her doctor and he said that her ejection fraction was 30 to 35 percent. He would like it to be closer to 50 percent but he was pleased that she had improved. She was only 17 percent right after surgery. Praise God for some improvement.  We are sad to say that  she has a lot of scar tissue and will need to have a defibrillator and pacemaker placed on May 31st. That is the first available date for surgery, but there is a possibility that it will be moved up if there is an opening.  The defibrillator is important for her to have in case of another heart attack. It would shock her  heart ( feels like you are being hit in the chest with a baseball bat) which would help her heart keep pumping until EMS could arrive.  We are still believing that God has BIG plans for Tracy and that he is working on her heart daily. We are believing in a full restoration of her body. Believe and pray with us! Thank you for all of your love and prayers!!
