Because we've gone a few days without any excitement, dad decided to add a new trick to his show by having a bout this morning with a rapid/irregular heartbeat. Fortunately, the doctors were on hand to witness and in talking to them afterwards they indicated that what happened is very common in patients that are fighting pneumonia. They gave him a new med to keep his heart in check and he didn't have any episodes the rest of the day. His lung xrays continue to come back with improvements but he did need two units of blood today. His hemoglobin had got just low enough that they felt it would be good time for an infusion. Maybe a fresh supply will do him some good.
He continues to be stable and is fighting hard to get over this. Please keep him in your prayers until we are out of the woods with this.
Peace,
