We haven’t seen any of Angie’s doctors today (well, the ones who are in charge), but we have heard a few things. One is that her net fluid is down, which is a good sign. She’s also lost a couple of pounds from yesterday, which is another good sign. The not-so-good news is that they’re suspending the Sotalol because of the EKG from last night after her last dose. Apparently her QT wave is a little extended, which is a bad thing. If it is too far delayed it can affect the polarization of the next heart beat. Or so I’ve been told. The Sotalol is the anti-arrhythmia drug they’re starting her on. Hopefully we can hear from the doctors soon about what the plan is on this development.

Thanks, as always, for your latest up-date. We are all so full of prayers and thoughts for you both, and the up-dates are wonderful for keeping us “in the loop” so to speak. So glad to hear the fluids are down! We have certainly sent up mighty prayers to that end. But, of course, the QT wave report is troubling. So many things at interplay with one another here! Angie’s body is like one of those circus performers on a tight-rope, riding a unicycle while juggling a porcelain teapot, a stuffed snake and a library book!! No easy task. Our love to both of you.
