235, NOT a Good Number

TJ's heart rate has increased further to 235. His approximate maximum target heart rate (the rate you want more or less while exercising) is 170. Right now he is in atrial fibrillation. They are going to administer an electric shock to convert him to a normal heart rhythm.

This is the same thing that happened to vice president Cheney earlier this year.

It ought to be a low risk procedure. (IMHO: "Low risk" is always a bad phrase when dealing with the heart...)

We have been praying for TJ since we heard today of his situation. When I heard fugal and MRSA , the fist thing I thought of was to suggest the use of wild oil of oregano . That with olive leaf extract have been used to treat difficult infections. I buy these from from BioInnovatons.net They are the best. Co-q-10 , l-carnitine and Magnesium with Di-ribose are very good for energy and healing for the heart.
May The LORD grant you his peace and calm during this trial. Isaiah 26:3 God bless you.
