Country: | Sorry for the delay and I appreciate the concern. As of 1/21/08, his heart is still out of rhythm and they are considering shocking it again. We will learn more about their plan of attack this week. However, there is more good news than bad.
He is off of all IV's, kidney levels are good, liver levels are getting back to normal, fever is gone, and the pneumonia is beginning to clear up. The doctor's hope is to get the heart back in rhythm, then control it with medicine.
I showed this link to my sister and it brought her to tears as she was so moved that people all over the world were thinking of him and praying for him. You guys are top notch in my book.

| Very important to rule out any clot formation in the heart before they Cardiovert (shock the heart) The idea is to 'reboot' it into a normal rhythm (sinus rhythm) Quote: |
Things are looking better than yesterday when his blood pressure dropped to 65 over 45, but he isn't out of the woods yet.

| Excellent!
Also sounds like he's in good hands. And don't be afraid to ask the Doctors any questions or concerns you may have.
All the best to you, your family and your father. | |

Country: | Sounds like your familiar with this stuff Graeme.
My dad's doing the same as a couple days ago. We believe he is getting to go home tomorrow!!! yeah! Then do stuff on an outpatient basis. I believe the doctors still want to shock his heart again in a couple weeks.

| I feel with you Thorlifter, nothing is worse than losing a family member. Best of wishes from me, I hope he gets well soon.
