Last year when hubby became ill, his heart was functioning at a very low rate. (He contracted a simple viral infection that appeared to be bronchitis then it attacked his heart). We didn't know if he would make it to the new year.
Normal function is considered 55%. His was 15%. His echocardiogram last week showed an improved percentage - now it is 35%!!
We did a very happy dance and then went and renewed all of his prescriptions, vowed to continue the special diet and now can look at beginning a mild exercise program to strenghthen his heart even more.
Thanks for all of the support and encouragement!
