INSERT WITTY TITLE HERE

Ugh. For those of you who are getting our Christmas infographic, you may have to cross out 41 as the number of days that Lauren has spent in the hospital and replace it with... who knows. I would love to give this post a positive tone but I'm so tired and I don't know how much longer we will be here.

When we came in here it was for an investigation. Today Lauren had an episode and it was caught on the heart monitor. It was her scariest and longest episode yet. The heart monitor showed that her ventricle stopped contracting for between 4.5 and 10 seconds. Not good.

While this issue is obviously related to Lauren's eating, they are going to put in a pacemaker to intervene when her ventricle doesn't contract. That means another surgery.

So here is our list of prayer requests if you could join us in prayer:

1. That Lauren doesn't have any more episodes before she is able to have the pacemaker put in.

2. That she is able to have the surgery very soon (before the weekend).

3. That the surgery goes smoothly, she doesn't need any intervention for her heart, and that the pacemaker is installed perfectly.
