Lindsey had a pretty uneventful day yesterday. Her appetite is slowly coming back and she seems well enough to wear the battery out on her phone. Her good friend Quinton and his family came by for a visit yesterday, which she enjoyed. Thank you Collins' for taking time out of your vacation to hang out with us. Lindsey slept well last night and went down to the cath lab at 7:30 this morning to get the pacer wire removed. All went well and she has continued to stay in sinus rhythm. They will most likely watch her for another 24 hours and then release us (fingers crossed). However, she will be able to be monitored on the step down unit. What we knew as 3 West but is now called PCU 200. I asked the doctor how likely is this to happen again or happen suddenly while we're out hiking in the mountains? She said that she could easily go into it again, but it wouldn't be suddenly it would slowly come on. Lindsey and all transplant patients' conduction system in their hearts are fragile due to the amount of biopsies they receive. She does not foresee this happening in the next year or so, however, if she were to have coronary artery disease it would most likely return. Just a little something to put our minds at ease (eeek).
Summary, she is doing great and we will most likely get released tomorrow. Happy 18th birthday to Megan. She was really excited that we were all going to be home and together for her birthday. Looks like we will just have to post pone for a day or 2. Sorry.
