Hi everyone. So sorry I have not been a regualar participant on here.
I shared a concern on Facebook, and Judy B suggested I post it on here.

I have had a heart problem all my life, with it being officially diagnosed at the age of 16. Had my first (aortic) valve replacement at 22, then the next one at 37. Years later I was fitted with a defib implant/pacemaker, and am on medication to help keep my heart rate regular too.

In recent weeks I have had many, many more episodes of arrythmia than has been the norm for me.  Instead of two or 3 noticeable ones a month, I have been having 2 or 3 a day.  Years ago, before the addition of the defib implant/pacemaker, I had had the occasional blackout, sometimes lasting long enough that I would either collapse or fall to the floor.  Lately I have been experiencing very short periods of being totally unaware of sounds and or sights around me.  The easiest way to describe it is almost being asleep for those few seconds. 

I wore a holter monitor for 24 hours Thursday/Friday, and did not have any noticeable arrythmia or "zone outs" during that period. I am still hoping that the cardiologist might have some answers for me., and praying that I have been healed.
Sorry for the long note, but I felt it necessary to give you some background so you would know exactly what to pray for.

Thank you all.

Oops, forgot to sign with my real name.

Thank you for posting Bonnie.  As you know I have prayed for you through the years.  I will continue to do so.  Have you been to the cardiologist?

Love you sis.

Bonnie, I like your signature line that says "Search me oh God, and KNOW MY HEART" ... He does know all about it, and I am praying for you as I type this.           I'll be interested in what your cardiologist has to report.

Hi, Bonnie.  I just found your prayer request.  As Jane said, I like to pray immediately so I don't forget, so that's what I'll be doing.  I'll add my prayers to others who are praying, and here Judy and Jane.

Thank you so much for your prayers and caring, Judy, Jane, and Nita.

I went to the cardiologist's office to get my holter monitor on Thursday, but my appointment to see him is not till October. I'm sure if there is a concern that appointment will be rescheduled to earlier than that.

Bonnie I am praying a as I type this.

Hi Bonnie...

Please know that I'll be praying for your condition as well.

Dear Bonnie

I'm praying for you...

Bonnie will try to see you Sunday AM....Shhhh don't tell Dennis!  Continuing to pray.

Thank you to Ruth, Marilyn, Pat, and my long-lost, but recently found, friend Judy. Your prayers and concern are a wonderful comfort to me.

And Judy....you surprised me this morning too, not just Pastor Dennis and his dear wife Lois, lol!! I promise to check in here more often.   

We will keep in touch.

Father, I pray for Bonnie.  I ask You to teach ALL You want her to learn from this.  Oh bless it to her as only You can do.  And I ask You for Your mercy, Father, that You would heal her heart through the Lord of our lives, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Al, that was a beautiful prayer. Thank you sio much!!!

Thank you for calling it a "beautiful prayer," Bonnie.  But we need to remember the beautiful Savior to Whom the prayer is made.  He alone is the One Who can glorify Himself through His wonderful works.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me.  Bless His holy Name.

I understand what you are saying, Al, and to whom we are to give all glory, honor, and praise. I still felt the need to thank you for the prayer though.

Your sister in Christ.
Bonnie

Bonnie, Have you had any more black outs like Sunday?  If you do I really would like to see you get to a cardiologist...

Stay in touch.  We love you.
