More heart stuff  

Many of you read about our misadventures in Arizona—if not, read the whole story part 1, part 2, and part 3. We have since chalked Curt's condition up to low potassium levels, and have adopted the mindset that "a banana a day keeps the PVCs away," but lately that hasn't been the case. Despite a steady monkey diet, Curt has been feeling strange again, warranting more visits to the cardiologist. This has brought back unpleasant memories for me about those days in the hospital with him, but it also reminds me of the faith and fortitude with which we were able to get through them. As an artist, I tend to process my feelings through my artwork, and I would simply like to revisit a collage I did about that time and share it here.

Right now, the doctors are of the opinion that there's nothing to worry about and that the causes and results of the PVCs are completely benign. Thank you for keeping up with our marriage, and thank you in advance for your prayers.
