Plans are made to be changed

We have spent the past week and a half running errands, shopping, visiting and assisting around here. We also took several trips to visit Loretta's family near Lynnville and joined several family members for dinner in Columbia on Saturday evening. We attended the Sunday Service at Rays Chapel UMC down the road and had Easter Dinner at a nearby restaurant. Loretta's sister has now returned home which is a relief to everyone.

Yesterday I took Loretta to the Outpatient Pavilion at Maury Regional Hospital in Columbia, TN. There she went through the Pre-op routine for her Hip Replacement scheduled for tomorrow. After going through the complete routine, we went to a nearby Steak House for lunch. While there we received a call on the Cell Phone informing Loretta that the Hip Replacement had been put on hold. She was told that the EKG revealed a previously unknown heart problem. They also called our General Practitioner and arranged an appointment for this morning. We went to visit her nurse daughter to discuss that. She recommended a Cardiologist also.

Today we went to visit Dr. Gardner and he verified that she appears to have Atrial Fibrillation and was going to contact Dr. Justice ( the recommended Cardiologist) . As of this time we have not been notified as to the time of her appointment.

We do ask that you continue to include her in your prayers. Dr. Gardner told her that she WILL be getting the new hip, but not at this time.

GOD Bless
Andy and Loretta
