Update

Mum's operation is still on schedule for Friday morning, and after that, if all goes well, she's expected to be sent home on Friday evening. Talk about revolving door :-)

The results of the test to see if it was a problem with the Long QT waves of Mum's heart that cause it to fibrillate (i.e. Long QT syndrome) are still not in, but according to Dad, there was no obvious problem with the Long QT waves showing up on any of Mum's ECG's.

Dad thinks we may never know what caused Mum's attack. But once she's had her operation on Friday to have the ICD fitted, we will at least know that there's something there to bump-start her heart if it fibrillates again.

More news when it comes.
