Repost from Oct 2007

Steve was at Beaumont working and was sent to the ER for a rapid and irregular heart beat. He was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. They started him on medication to control and prevent the problem, and ran a few tests. His heart looks good and strong and he will live a long and normal life. He spent the night and was discharged today. He will need to take medication daily or he can elect to have a procedure called Ablation therapy. This is a decision he will make along with his doctor and Jennifer. Please pray for him and his family.

After taking medication for 16 months Steve has decided to have the Ablation therapy. He will be having it Monday morning at Beaumont Hospital. He goes into the hospital at 6:50am. Please keep him in your prayers.
