Celebrating Fourth of July & Update!

We have a new photo of John and Alyssa with their three little ones.

From Alyssa: Thank you for all the prayers and concern for me over the last few weeks. I have had a lot of you messaging me asking for an update on my health.
After visiting my doctor again, adjusting my medication, and wearing a 24 hour holtor monitor (to see what was going on with my heart) I have been scheduled to do the Electrophysiolo

gy Study (EP Study) surgery again. An EP Study test the electrical activity of your heart to find where an arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) is coming from. Once it’s found my doctor will be able to ablate that area by freezing or burning those spots. I had this surgery in April to fix my arrhythmia however, it has not been successful. My doctor said my arrhythmia is one of the worst he has seen.
I was diagnosed with super ventricular tachycardia (SVT) in February. There are many forms of tachycardia so I wasn’t diagnosed with AVNRT until April. I am still on a medication to try and help regulate my heart rate until the surgery.
It’s hard to explain so many details on here so I will try to get a YouTube video out with all the details.
I am very grateful and thankful for each of you, my doctor, family who has prayed for me and helped out when needed, and my husband for being my constant rock! THANK YOU! 😘
