OK, yesterday was something of a powerful day for me.
It all started at 11:30pm Thursday night. My wife suffered a sudden "cramp" in her keel muscles under her left breast. The pain lasted 20-30 seconds and then faded, she fell asleep. So did I.
At 4:30am my baby son woke up, my wife climbed out of bed and tried to get him but was very tired and dizzy so she gave him to me and I made him his bottle and put him back to bed. I didn't think anything of it because since she started Lexapro my wife has been very tired at night.
6:30am comes by and again my wife didn't feel up to handling our son so she gave him to me and I got up and played with him out in the living room. At 7:15am our bedroom alarm was going off so my wife got up, got dressed and went into the room to get our older son up. She was complaining of being dizzy but as she had just woke up that wasn't a huge shock.
Then I realized she wasn't talking. I went into the room and she was laying on her face. She had passed out before, but not for years and the doctors said then that it was caused by the pain in her shoulder injury. It had literally been 5 years since she had last fainted. I woke her up, called our upstairs tenant (my best friends) and had someone come downstairs to help me with the boys. He got down here and helped me move her to the couch and then he played with our 1 year old while I got our 4 year old ready to go to special education. By 7:50am I had the older lad on the bus and she'd passed out again. Our friend kept my son, my mom was on her way down and by 8:15am we were at the ER.
By 11am we were being informed she had an irregular heartbeat caused by a congenital heart defect and she needed an immediate pacemaker put in. My wife is only 30. By 1:30pm she was being wheeled into the O.R and by 3:30pm she was being brought into recovery with a new pacemaker. By 8am this morning she was home.
Still a bit stunned to say the least.
