Thei doc said everything went well- it was a 5 hour operation - 3 hours in recovery - joan is still in the hospital for observation and monitering - if things go to plan she may come home tmorro
Thank you all for your prayers. You arre the best.
Well just got joan home - she is a little tired and sore. I just cooked her a pb&j samich and a cup of tea with homey.
She will remain on her a-fib meds for 3 months untill everything heals. They gave her a device to transmit a ekg every week. After the 3 month period she will have a cat scan of he hart and if that and all else is good they will take her off the a-fib meds but she will remain on a blood thinner as a cuation.
The doc said they succesfully ablated the A-fib/ a-flutter and is optomistic about the outcome.
There is a 25% chance it may reoccur and they may do what the doc calls a touch-up - time will tell..
Hoping fot the best - thank you for all the prayers and good wishs

Such good news. It's amazing what they can do now days. My ex-SIL just had the same thing done but it didn't work. A friend had it done after 3 minie strokes and his worked out perfectly.
