ICD
Kev goes in this morning to have his ICD put into his chest. This internal cardiac defibrillator functions like a pacemaker and will provide an internal shock straight to his heart if he should need that in the future. It should be a simple procedure, but is not without risk. They will need to thread a wire down a vein and screw it into his heart. Then his EP team will have to put his heart into V-Fib (the same life threatening situation that caused him to flat line) and allow the device to shock him out of it. So although the team says that compared with what he has been through this should be a "walk in the park", I remain a bit nervous and am praying. Would you please join me?
