Mama Pitt is doing well!!

Mama Pitt is out of the Hospital. She's staying with Cheryl and Steve for a little while. Cheryl has been a saint; making phone calls all day to doctors and hospitals and such. She makes sure Mom isn't being over medicated. She is such a blessing and we are so thankful for her. For now Mom is resting and taking it easy. Thank you so much for all your prayers and love. You are all so amazing and I am so grateful for friends and family such as you.

Mama Pitt

We had a bit of a scare today.... I woke up this morning and got ready for work as usual. Loren and I had decided to drive seprately to work today since I had a dentist appointment after work. So Loren left for work while I finished feeding animals. I looked at my phone and noticed I missed a call from my brother Steve. I checked the message and it was Steve telling me that Mom was in the hospital. She had fainted in the bathroom and they took her to the emergency room at Orange County Medical Center. I frantically called Tara trying to find out what was going on. She told me where Mom was and that she had been put on heart medication last night that didn't take and they were keeping her in the hospital at least until tomorrow. I called in a sub and got in the car. I drove to work and dropped off Loren's lunch and went to the hospital. I see her and I give her this look like, just what do you think you are doing to us? She started laughing and said "Well I thought this was going to be nothing and I could just call you when everything was over and say ....'So this is what happened', but I guess I was wrong." Just like my Mom to think nothing of it.
She has a heart arrhythmia. Her heart is pumping constantly like she is exercising, but she's laying down. Today they gave her some calcium channel blockers to slow down the calcium being sent to her heart that over works it. They said they are going to put her on alpha and beta blockers to help keep her heart beats in check. She will have to be on medication for the rest of her life.
My siblings and I are so blessed to have such an amazing Mother. She is so strong, loving, caring and like we have always said LITERALLY has a BIG HEART! The Doctor told her she has an enlarged heart. He explained it like getting grey hair and wrinkles. It's inevitable with age. The doctors were impressed that she has never smoked or drank and are grateful that they are only dealing with an enlarged heart and nothing else. We are grateful for the word of wisdom.
We are praying for her. Thank you so much for all your prayers as well. We have such an amazing support system and we are so blessed to have so many wonderful family members and friends.
