My dad has been very weak since Friday and unable to sleep due to being short of breath. So....took him to his family doc today who promptly sent him to the ER. From there they transferred him to Aultman Hospital in Canton, since that is where his cardiologist has privileges. He has an abnormal heart rhythm (atrial flutter) and congestive heart failure (which he has known about for a long time). As of tonight they are trying to decide how they are going to treat him, if at all. Otherwise, he looks pretty good and is not having any pain. Hopefully after more Lasix to get rid of fluid, he will be feeling better. The not so great part is that his cardiologist (whom we love) is on vacation! So it will take them a little longer to get things figured out. Hopefully we will know something by tomorrow.
My fear is that they will just send him home, and I am not sure that he will be able to take care of himself. So please pray that he will be strong enough...as he lives alone.
Carli looked good on Sunday...just saw her for a short time...intercession is harder than she thought...or at least is taking more time than she thought. She has her final exam on Saturday morning, and then is coming home and will take Kelsie back with her on Sunday. Let the empty nest begin.....
