TRIAL PERIOD

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45 

Jesus came to serve mankind; He gave His life for our sin,
He never meant to be served, but He came to bring the lost in.
When He died upon the cross, the shed blood paid my way,
And receiving Him as my own, I then pray to Him and obey. (RP)

Yesterday the heart specialist started the low dosage of TICOSYN medication. It has to be monitored for 3 days. She took her first pill at around 9:30 and I suppose the second last night after nine.  They do EKG's periodically to determine if the heart rhythm is correct with the new medication. If it works, it will eliminate the need for a pacemaker.  We pray she had a good night last night.  During the day we walked around the triangle shaped configuration of the cardiac unit on the 4th floor. She wanted to walk, and they are delighted she does. We made 5 laps around the area during the day. The nurse was pleased. I plan to leave shortly to be with her at the hospital. I need to be there to help her with getting to the bathroom, walking, etc. I also want to be there to try to understand all the many details the doctors give in explaining what they are doing. Thanks for praying.
