Dear Radar...
Thanks for putting out the word. I just got home this evening and he is much better. Yesterday they put a naso gastric tube in because he was throwing up very precocious amounts. This morning they took it out and he seems much better. He actually ate all of his liquid lunch and drank nearly 2 cans of diet sprite pop. His electrolytes are still low, but they are trying to get a handle on it using IV fluids. His Heart Rate is still quite high, 119 to
165 and everything in between. That could be due to the electrolyte imbalance. They stopped the Cardizem which lowers your blood pressure, and HR, but his blood pressure was 88/52 when I got there this morning...that's toooo low. They started him on digoxin and will evaluate him further. He is so looking forward to coming home. He does enjoy talking to everyone, and thanks to all of you who have called him.
He seems to be in good spirits for the most part. They also lowered his Oxygen to 3 liters from 4 liters and the 02 sats are good.
That's about all I can report at this time. Thanks again for your prayers and also your phone calls. We both send our love to all our brothers and sisters.
God Bless you all and stay safe.
