Prayer Request for SIL - Matt

[HandsOffItsMine]

Dear friends, please pray for our SIL Matt, his pace maker went off in the pool this afternoon at around 3:40 pm. He went under and it took his two male cousins to get him out. We had 911 on the phone and it took the paramedics over 15 min to get to the house. His pace maker sent shocks four more times while we had laying flat on the cement decking. By the time the medics got here, we had Matt stable, they hooked him up, ran the cardio, still took him in the hospital to have the Cardiologist check out why the pace maker went off or if he actually had a mild heart attack.

Kat went with him to the hospital, his Dad (who is in a wheelchair) was in no condition to drive was driven by one of the cousin along with his sister - Don and I are watching Penny and Ollie. We're waiting on word from them, so far he's stable and waiting on tests.

I'm kind of worried how long it took them to get here, we're in a big suburb, not in the country. We're used to 5 minutes at the most. When we're dealing with heart issues, it's scary when it takes this long to get a defip to your home.

Thank you all, Ruby, Don, Kat and family

So sorry for your troubles., Ruby! Hope he'll be back to square one very soon. You all had quite a scare!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

He's in my thoughts and prayers.

A friend of mine has a brother with a pacemaker that went off on him while he was here, in the driveway. Darn thing zapped him 4 or 5 times, taking the breath away from him. The paramedics came and took him to the hospital. Turns out the pacemaker was just having fits, there wasn't anything wrong with him at all. Boy, was he about ready to rip that thing out of his chest, he was so mad at it zapping him for no reason.

Prayers sent and will continue. This family has had enough busyness for awhile with the move....without health issues, too. Hope all is well.

Oh, Ruby - saying prayers, saying prayers, and trying to calm my own heart. I think it flew into my throat when I was reading your message. Please keep us posted. Praying hard.

Oh my goodness. Prayers definately going out for your SIL. I'm surprised it took 15 min. to get an AED there. We are in a rural area and it usually doesn't take that long. Many of our first responders carry AED's so you don't have to wait for the ambulance to get there.
