Pray for my father, Fred. He is in the hospital at lawnwood. He was being placed on a new medication for his heart and being monitored during the transition. Things aren’t going well. They’ve had to stop the medication. His heart rate is staying extremely low (30’s) and he has congestion around the heart and lungs. His blood pressure is also staying low. Not sure what is gonna happen but I suspect they may have to go the pacemaker route.
I have a very strained relationship with my father so this is being very difficult for me to process.
My father was discharged home yesterday. The medication didn’t work. Initially they thought it was working but it started causing low blood pressure and low heart rate. They’ve changed him over to a simpler medication for now and have ordered an echocardiogram. For now he is relatively stable but time will tell. A pacemaker is looming in the background if medication doesn’t work.
