Quick update before I head out.
The folks at Baylor didn't like some of the readings they were getting from Rachal's heart -- specifically, the intermittent pauses in beat that sometimes stretched as long as five seconds. So they're putting in a pacemaker tomorrow morning. Her folks are in town -- and I won't say Rachal's looking *forward* to having a pacemaker, but she very much likes the idea that this might put a stop to some of the random passing-out spells that plagued her last year.
It's apparently a short-recovery procedure, and they may release her in a few days.
More as it develops. She seems to be doing okay with this, and I think so am I.
