The Drs. have told us that these spells that she is having are a bit different than the first set of spells, these they believe are related to her congestive heart failure. She does still stop breathing during some of the spell, but seems to breathe more this time during the spells than she did a week ago. Her spells tend to last anywhere from 10-17 minutes. Her heart rate dips to 30ish beats per minute & her respirations range from none all the way up to 50+.
Many of you have asked how Mark & I are. I can tell you that we are hanging in there the best that we possibly can. We make sure to eat two meals a day & try to get as much rest as we can (sometimes that isn't much). We have ventured home a couple of times & spent the night with Owen & we have also went out to eat a couple of times up here in Sioux City to just get away from the hospital walls.
Thank you to everyone for all your love, support & most of all your prayers that you have extended to our family during this time. We will be forever greatful to everyone for all that you have done!
Enjoy the attached photo! ;)
