This morning, when we first arrived, the nurse told us that Dad had a streak of 7 of his own heartbeats last night. This is great news, and means he may not need to have a permanent pacemaker. He’s currently being assisted by a temporary pacemaker, which they pause occasionally to see what his heart can on its own. This is the first time he has had any heartbeats on his own. Progress of this sort is often followed by more progress, so we are very hopeful.
The bad news, in comparison, seems minor. While he had the catheter out yesterday, he needed to have a new one put in today. This development is unfortunate, but not terribly surprising.
Fantastic!! That is great news! I’m learning all about the heart in A&P so what you said actually makes sense. Keep up the good work…
Affairs of the heart seem never to make sense. I’m glad that Mike is making sense of things himself. He has great assistance too, the good vibes are rolling.
Heeey great to hear the beats. Rudy and I would like to come by on Tuesday if that is possible.We will bring your bike if you are ready.
That’s super!
To Bruce: “I know you’re just kidding, but it’ll be 11.5 weeks until I’m on my bike. If you do come, please come in the morning, or the evening. If the pacemaker goes in tomorrow, it will be in the afternoon.”
To Bob: “Come again, if you’re on town.”
