Sometimes, the heart grows weary. Hope the doctors can jump start Sister’s today. He’s in charge and we are hopeful that He knows we still need her with us a while longer.
Is she getting a pace-maker? My mom had one. If I live long enough, I will likely need a pacemaker myself: My heart has what they call a "regular irregular". They aren't worried about that, but it's something they watch. If someone new is listening to my heartbeat in a doctor's office or when in a hospital getting a test, I generally tell them my heart skips a beat on a regular basis so they'll know I've been told about it already. I don't feel it skipping a beat, but if I put my fingers anywhere to feel a pulse, I can count the beats between "skips".
My mother had atrial fibrillation for many years. She took pills for it, but still had spells once in awhile. I think it got better when she got her pacemaker, though.
Mt brother -in-law, Bob, had atrial fibrillation. He went to the emergency room 11 times. Finally a large gash occurred in his aorta and it was too serious to repair. That's what finally happened to him at 86 a couple of weeks ago.

Heart is ok. Sister is a breast cancer survivor. This likely means the problem is her lungs.
Well, Dr. told Sister to get moving. Heart and lungs looked good.
