After approx. 15 hours or so of being in A Fib, All our Prayers worked. The Dr said if he couldn't get her into a normal Sinus Rhythm with the cardiac meds, he would have to shock her heart. She then reverted back to normal, no clots, they have increased her diet from NPO to clear liquids and now is on a full diet. She is exhausted but doing well and in better spirits. They will be doing tests on her heart to see if she has any damage due to being in A-Fib for so long, the Dr. said her heart was like being and running in a constant non-stop marathon. I honestly do not know what I would do without support groups like this one. I do not have many friends or family members that understands the ups and downs with these illnesses. Thank you for always being there!! All of you are my Angels, people that understand and are always there with words of encouragement. Darlene

Great news. The main thing with AF (Atrial fibrillation) is to be anticoaguated: I know your daughter also has APS. It is unlikely to have done any permanent damage. There is a HealthUnlocked form for AF if you want further information
