Introduction

Late February of 2012 Mark was diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma Cancer. This is written for our family and friends who have so caringly expressed a desire to know of the current situation. We so appreciate the love and support that has been shown to us and we lovingly empathize with and pray for many of you that have had or are currently going through trials of your own. In love, hope and faith, Mark and Ane

My heart is in the right pace - by Mark

The procedure went great!  I was out for several hours while they stuck probes down my throat and then up through a vein in my lower abdomen.  The team found the hot spot in my right atrium and zapped it.  Last night, after the procedure, for the first time in four and a half months my heart rate was normal at about 60 BPM instead of the 90 to 100 or even 145 that it had been.  So as of today I am off of the two heart meds and on to another one for 6 weeks (Warfarin).  Modern medicine is great; all the way into four places in the heart with a little incision in the abdomen.  We went home late last night. How wonderful to sleep in my own bed after that kind of operation.

We have been blessed and are so grateful.  Thanks again for your care and support.
Warmly,
Mark
