Ritzy, of course praying fervently that you and Loren will have some answers tomorrow. I know it can feel discouraging, but also know that the strength of faith is one of the best tools to bring to the meeting.
I also know several women on my WomenHeart site, have had very encouraging recovery from ejection fraction numbers lower than Loren's! Congestive Heart Failure can be improved immensely IF we are willing to do what's required. I can't remember Loren's other issues (except that awful infection several years ago!)
Yes, to think positive and consider some of the ways other than surgery, such as salt management and exercise (as tolerated, of course).........of course if the Dr. feels a pacemaker is warranted, that too of course. Pacemakers today are marvels of modern technology!
I just know a low ejection fraction is not the end of the story, so have hope.........HOPE in caps! In prayers for tomorrow!
