Allysonne is here doing another pacer check with Angie.\u00a0 We don’t get a turtle or blue bird now that we’re on the “adult” side, but that’s okay.\u00a0 I showed Allysonne the picture I took yesterday and she loved it.\u00a0 The device check is unfortunately rather uncomfortable.\u00a0 They look at the history stored on the device, but then they also test some thresholds.\u00a0 This is the uncomfortable part.\u00a0 The only way to test the limits is to literally stop her heart.\u00a0 They test the rate and the capture voltage by lower it until it stops.\u00a0 It usually makes Angie a little queasy, but it is a necessity.\u00a0 It was during a pacemaker interrogation on Monday that they discovered that she needed a new lead and this whole surgery happened.<\/p>\n
The latest news is that we’ll go home today.\u00a0 So far no one has said that we won’t, but they always use the word, “might”.\u00a0 I imagine they are quite cautious in what they say, so if they are saying, “you might<\/em> go home today,” they really mean, “you will probably<\/em> go home today.”\u00a0 How awful it would be to hear, “you might go home” all day and then say, “well, you’re not ready, so you’re staying here.”\u00a0 I’m sure they avoid doing that.\u00a0 Anyway, thanks for all your prayers and support!\u00a0 Hopefully my next post will be from home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Allysonne is here doing another pacer check with Angie.\u00a0 We don’t get a turtle or blue bird now that we’re on the “adult” side, but that’s okay.\u00a0 I showed Allysonne the picture I took yesterday and she loved it.\u00a0 The device check is unfortunately rather uncomfortable.\u00a0 They look at the history stored on the device, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[21,8,13],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8WrW-hc","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1066"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1066"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1067,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1066\/revisions\/1067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
