Naomi was supposed to go into surgery for insertion of a PICC line this morning at 11am, but they discovered that she will first need a plalette blood transfusion before they can begin.
Both the transfusion and PICC line insertion went well (after some trouble - the doctors attempted to find a good vein 4 times), but the steroids in the chemo drugs have caused her heart rate to go down to a level that causes the doctors concern. Normal for a 3 year old would be over 120 BPM. During the PICC line insertion, her heart rate dropped to 48 BPM, causing the surgery to last 3 hours.
Currently her heart is stabilizing around 65 BPM, but unless her body moderates itself to a more normal heart rate, she may have to receive cardiac and high blood presure medication in addition to the chemotherapy. Naomi is already suffering side effects from the chemotherapy. She has several sores in her mouth, making it very painful to eat.
Please keep praying for Naomi

Good morning. I am a prior student of yours. I only took a few lessons. I am touched by your emails and want you to know that I am praying for you and your family members.

My prayers are with Naomi during her time of healing. Know that God is watching over her and will pull her through. My prayers also go out to her parents and the rest of the family as they find strength and comfort during this time of healing.
Peace and many blessings from one parent to another.
