Independence Day 2019
On April 11th, we shared news of Alyssa Webster’s heart surgery. (Click here to read our post with the details.) She just released an update, so we wanted to pass it on to you all.
Alyssa's doctor has scheduled the same surgery again because the first one was unsuccessful. After the first procedure, Alyssa was told that there was a 50% chance that her abnormal heartbeats would return, and they did. Her doctor informed her that her arrhythmia is one of the worst he has seen. Please continue to pray for healing for Alyssa, a successful surgery, and wisdom for the medical staff that will be treating her.

Lots and lots of prayers for you! My husband had Afib and had an ablasion just last week, which was thankfully successful. Good luck!
ReplyDelete🙏 for Alyssa
ReplyDeleteThat symbol actually is a high five symbol and not a prayer symbol.
DeleteNo it’s not a high five. It comes up whenever you type in the word ‘prayer’ People used to hold their hands like that for prayers
DeleteActually, if I type the word “praying” or “prayer” into my iPhone that symbol pops up.
DeleteReply to 10:43 High 5 comment. MO- I use it as a prayer symbol. I guess it's up to interpretation. I choose to think of it as prayer when I see it. :o)
DeleteA lot of people use it to represent prayer, it can mean whichever you want
DeleteAnd yet many people use it for a prayer symbol.
Delete10 43, but the hands are together as in prayer. It doesnt look like a hand up for high five at all to me.
DeleteIf you type in “praying” on my phone, the above symbol pops up as a suggestion. If I type in “high five” ✋ and 🙌 pop up as suggestions. You may be mistaken or perhaps different phones suggest different emoticons? I do know that “thank you” brings up the same symbol 🙏🏻 that’s suggested for “praying”.
DeletePeople all over the web use it as a prayer symbol so it serves more than one purpose.
DeleteTwo hands placed firmly together, meaning please or thank you in Japanese culture. A common alternative use for this emoji is for prayer, using the same gesture as praying hands
DeleteEmoji creators said it’s prayer
DeleteTo me it looks like someone with his head bowed, hands together, eyes closed. I say it's a prayer symbol.
DeleteIt's used for both!
DeleteLove it
DeleteThat was debunked. It is praying hands. Don't believe all memes.
DeleteReally people! Does it matter! Send prayers for Alyssa instead of spending time debating this.
DeletePrayers for you Alyssa and your family as they are beside you. I pray that God gives you comfort, peace and a successful new surgery. Remember to lean on him and know that he is with you. Thinking about you and your family, this must be scary and tough.
ReplyDeletePrayers going up for Alyssa and her family!
ReplyDeletePraying for you Alyssa hopefully it will work this time God is good!
ReplyDeleteGood vibes and wishes her way!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Love to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI had 3 failed ablations. I now have a defibrillator. That or a pacemaker may be the solution if ablation fails again. The rhythm has to show up while you're on the table so they can map it and then zap it. If that doesn't happen, they have to find another solution. It happens all the time.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family !!! Hope things go better this time !!
ReplyDeletePrayers heading your way !
ReplyDelete🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteOSU Columbus OH Dr Hummel specialist in Afib found 4 places in my husbands heart 2 years ago. Never returned!!
ReplyDeleteOf course. Prayers being lifted for Alyssa’s successful surgery and future health.
ReplyDeletePraying for this beautiful mother and her family.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteJehovah Raphe, you are the creator, you knit Alyssa together and have revealed this condition to her Doctors. You are the great physician and healer. Lord, you do miracles every day, every hour, every minute, every second. Some seen, some not seen. Father we are asking for a miracle that this condition would be healed permanently. Thank you Lord for your undeserved mercy and grace on us. Your word says where two or more are gathered, You are there. We bind our faith together and ask this in Jesus name. Amen
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful prayer, I stand in agreement with it.
DeleteHave they checked to see if you have a bicuspid aortic valve? I was born with one & it wasn't discovered until I was 28. It causes me the same symptoms.
ReplyDeletehi Alyssa you will be in my thoughts and prayers with a complete miracle with god's healing powers
ReplyDelete🙏 praying you all through.
ReplyDeleteMany prayers for y'all. God promised to look after us. So darlin you are in the hands of the all mighty. Good luck and much love to you and your family
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family!
ReplyDeletePraying for healing & complete restoration.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Alyssa ������
ReplyDeleteAlyssa I am praying for U, through this next step to gaining health, and I am sure U will be OK 100%!!!
ReplyDeletePraying that the Lord holds your daughter in his hands! I pray our God heals this little heart and gives your family love & peace during your ordeal. 👏❤️
ReplyDeleteIt’s not John & Alyssa’s daughter’s heart that has issues. It’s Alyssa’s heart.
DeletePraying for them now.🙏
ReplyDeleteMy prayer's to Alyssa and her family 🙏🙏🙏❤ May Jesus Christ in his time heal our child of god Amen
ReplyDeleteEndless prayers to you Alyssa from New York...
ReplyDeletePrayers
ReplyDeleteLots of love and prayers for you God will heal and lots of love and prayers
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for her and stays that way. She has a nice famiily and they need her present in their lives. I'm glad she seeks the medical care of qualified professionals regardless of the professionals' personal beliefs. I hope this family proceeds with caution regarding any future biological children. Seek the advice of a good obstetrician...ditch the midwives at this point.
ReplyDelete5:51, midwives aren’t idiots, and will know to send her to a specialist if that is needed.
DeleteSVT is not life threatening. My daughter had it as well. It is scary when the heart starts racing, but it won’t cause problems with a baby. I think she is probably using preventative measures to not get pregnant until they can correctly ablate the right spot. If they are able to freeze or burn the correct location, then she won’t have any further problems.
DeleteOne can usually carry a pregnancy with no problems when one has SVT but.... Due to the increased blood volume of pregnancy and work load on the heart the more severe the SVT the greater the risk of a mom developing cardiomyopathy and possibly congestive heart failure. 28 years as an OB RN here. Plus, MY daughter (who was healthy) developed severe CHF with her only pregnancy. It was bad enough the docs thought she would need a new heart to leave the hospital. Thankfully she left with her old one. It's limping along, severely damaged and enlarged, until it fails a wee bit more so she can have that transplant. She does take meds and is on her second pacemaker/defibrillator.
DeleteOne must be careful with the heart when it comes to pregnancy. Obviously my daughter never had another baby. She did foster newborns and ended up adopting two of them. But I have cared for women who chose another baby. I've seen the moms pass.
MO- Thoughts and Prayers go out to Alyssa and the family. I'm sure Alyssa has the best of care and hopefully this next surgery will correct the issue. :o)
ReplyDeletePraying for her
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are in my prayers
ReplyDeletePraying for Alyssa. May God hold her and heal her heart. God bless her and her family. They are AMAZING
ReplyDeletePraying you and your family.
ReplyDeleteGod has this in His hands and has His hands on the Doctor. 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for Alyssa! Thank you for sharing this update.
ReplyDeletePraying for you Alyssa. I have been so worried about you. I have an SVT condition as well and take medication. It can be very scary. God bless and be with you. I will be thinking about you sweet girl. You are so strong and I know you've got this.
ReplyDeletePrayers for her and the family
ReplyDeleteI'm being monitored for AFib right now. Hope my Dr can figure me out. My prayers are with you. God will watch over both of us.
ReplyDeleteMy late husband had that for years. When they did his surgery he never had any trouble again. God is great and so good to people
ReplyDeletePrayers for you Alyssa 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteSad to learn Alyssa continues to have problems. Prayers for successful procedure. May God bless this sweet family.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you guys. Isaiah 41:10 says fear thou not;for I am with thee:be not dismayed;for I am thy God:I will strengthen thee;yea,I will help thee;yea,I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
ReplyDelete🙏🙏🙏

ReplyDeletePrayers for Alyssa our family loves you dearly
ReplyDeleteBoth my parents had open heart surgery and thankfully are good now. They get tired faster and need naps, but are alive. Please pray for them too. As I understand it Alyssa has irregular heartbeats but if the other parts are in good working order it a freezing progress not cutting, so not as dangerous. Will still send up a prayer though cause heart surgery is no joke.
ReplyDeleteDear Friend, praying for your parents as well as for Alyssa! This is a praying time for all! We trust the Lord and seek His Will daily! Asking for a complete healing for your parents and Alyssa! #RemainBlessed 💕
DeletePraying for you and your successful surgery as well as recovery!
ReplyDeleteI’m praying for you Alyssa. I hope for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. 🙏🙏😌
ReplyDeleteI had to have my surgery twice. It worked the second time. Praying yours will be successful as well.
ReplyDeleteI will add Alyssa and her family to my prayer wall. 🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteDefinitely praying for God's peace to be with Alyssa and her family!
ReplyDeletePraying for you. God knows . love you all. We love your famiky and your show very much.
ReplyDeleteAny further updates?
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, take 5 grams of lypospheric vitamin c every day. Look up Dr Thomas Levy. He's a cardiologist who recommends vitamin c.
ReplyDeleteJuly 7@8:44 PM. That Lypospheric does work my cousin took that and he died.
DeleteLupospheric vitamin c is safer than water
DeleteI will pray for Alyssa successful surgery and complete recovery. It is not easy having any surgery, more difficult to recover while taking care of three little children. Thank goodness there are manuy family members to help. Be strong John, and all the best wishes for all of you.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you Alyssa. My daughter has the same issue. The doctor put her on Corlanor and its working. Its been a year now. I was with her in the hospital every night for 18 months. Thank god for this medicine.
ReplyDeletePraying for her and the family as well.
ReplyDeleteI had a failed ablation as well. I had a really high heart rate and heart palps every few min throughout the day. I had my ferritin level tested, by a sleep dr because of my restless legs, and my ferritin level was a 3. I have been taking iron supplements for the past few years and my heart rate is now at a normal level and I no longer have palpitations. It would be worth a try to have your ferritin level checked. Prayers to you and your family ❤
