She said that while his heart is beating on its own, it is what&#8217;s called an &#8220;escape rhythm&#8221;. While it is good to have an escape rhythm, it means he still needs a pacemaker. That said, he needs only the simplest of pacemakers, which means long battery life. He&#8217;ll be able to bike just fine, and potentially still dive to 120-140 ft. As far as I am concerned, this is still good news. <\/p>\n<p>Right now he&#8217;s going for a walk.
