Your prayers have come to fruition, Mrs. Louis is home!! No clot, no open heart surgery required, though the doctors do not wish her to drive just yet, and have assigned a nurse practitioner as her new primary care physician. The hospital staff have made five appointments with various specialists for continued monitoring and maintenance of her health; appointments I will gladly drive her to.
Following the cardiac MRI yesterday, the cardiac surgeon said today that her heart "was impressive and of a configuration he has never seen in over twenty years of his performing cardiac surgery." Mrs. Louis looked at me and said "I told you I was an alien!" I believe she was kidding, maybe.
She is sleeping on the sofa near me as she has fallen asleep watching a favorite history show.
We owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid for your loving prayer given from the heart and support for both of us in her time of need.
Thank you wonderful people of GLP, you have made this happen for us with your prayers to our heavenly Father.

I apologize for my delay in updating everyone, it was important to spend time listening to my wife and hearing about her tell about her day.
Her MRI showed NO BLOOD CLOT IN HER HEART!!!
The CT showed something------>Your numinous prayers------>MRI now finds no clot.
Thank God, Jesus, and all of you.
I was not here when the doctors spoke with her so I was unable to ask questions of them so I've no first hand knowledge of what they are leaning towards. During the nurse turn over after I arrived they said no invasive procedure is indicated yet.
------------------------------------------------------
I'm at my office ATM, and Mrs. Louis has texted she is being moved to a room in the cardiac suite as it now appears the open-heart surgery is on the table. I'll post updates as I learn more. I'll be back at the hospital in about two hours ~ 5:00 PM US EST 24 April.
------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Louis' heart surgery is delayed. They are doing a catheterization NOW, followed by an MRI which may be today or tomorrow, so her surgery is postponed possibly until Thursday.
They wish to be evaluate all avenues before beginning any cardiac surgical procedure so they will obtain better imaging of her heart to insure they are indeed seeing a clot and not a muscular thickening in one side. This will also give a better view into where any possible opening between chambers is located and will allow them to determine the best course of action to follow be it surgery or blood thinners if the Cath and MRI show surgery to not be necessary,
Please know your prayers are not wasted; indeed the doctors are being guided to seek further information before proceeding. God I'm sure is guiding them to the correct conclusions and decisions.
-------------------------------------------------------
I know that the collective will and prayer of GLP'ers can and does work tremendous good, I'm asking your prayer help for Mrs. Louis as she has been hospitalized since Monday for intestinal bleeding which they have yet to find but today she developed a blood clot in her left leg femoral artery.
She has been rushed to surgery as they need to remove the blood clot. The procedure is starting presently.
She is at one of the top hospitals in the country so she has the best medical staff treating her, but arterial clots are especially dangerous.
I ask you please take a moment to include her in prayer for health, a successful surgery, and the determination of and cure for her clot and bleeding.
Thank you all and God Bless you.
