As some of you know my husband was given a year or so to live.
We had a doctor's visit today and great news!
Last November my husbands ejection rate ( this gauges how much blood iskept and pumped out of the ventricle) was 8 %. As of today itis 53%. A normal healthy heart's rate is 55%. TheDoctor is at a loss as to why this is happening, as the heart does notregenerate. He has never had a case like this before andtherefore has nothing to gauge Michael by.He will have tocontinue on with his meds and keep the defibrulator for the rest of hislife. A very small sacrifice!
We have been told, that this could change down the road. But for now, it is the miracle we had been hoping for!
