Evidently the sensitivity of the defibrillator is not set properly, so that it began sending shocks through Sam's heart for no reason. This went on for nearly half an hour, while Bill and Teesa looked on, helpless. When the doctor arrived he turned off the part of the device that sends the shocks and they will be monitoring his heart overnight. In the morning they will assess what needs to be done. They do not expect to have to open him up again, but there is a possibility of that if they cannot correct the problem by remote.
Please pray for this problem to be resolved and for Bill and Teesa as they cope with this new complication.

Hope and pray you ALL have a restful night! Sorry to hear about the complication but will pray for wisdom for the doctors as they consider their next step with Sam. Keep us posted and we'll keep praying!!!
