Permanent Pace Maker?

Today we need wisdom. Doctors are considering placing a permanent pace maker in Milan's chest. (It goes under the skin, it wouldn't be an invasive procedure like the valve repair.) The doctors say his lower heart rate is a reponse to them reducing the size of his atrium.

Pray the doctors can use discernment and wisdom to make this decision. If Dad can pull through and bounce back without it at some point, that would be ideal. If not, perhaps the pace maker is the best solution.

Hearts are so complex...can you believe God created them? I know God can put Dad's back together.

Gods in Control, during these times I feel out of control. I will keep Milan in my thoughts and Prayers.

Thank God that we have his Word.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

Thanks again Kelly for the update.

We know lots of people with pacemakers. Thank God for pacemakers. If the doctors are recommending one, trust them --they are like car mechanics and know what's best.
UCLA rocks! Russ & Judy
