They told him Friday that heapos;d probably be able to go home Sunday. Saturday morning, they told him that, since heapos;d been disconnected from all of his IVs, monitors, etc, heapos;d be able to take a shower in the afternoon. Then, around lunch time, his heart decided to act up. His pulse wasnapos;t in a dangerous range, but it wouldnapos;t stay put - it kept going up and down. They decided they needed to give him an IV. This is a problem with Dad - heapos;s always had trouble with needles, partially because his veins move (for the surgery Wednesday, all but one of his IVs were done AFTER we was under.) The first nurse couldnapos;t get the IV in. Neither could the second. Or the third. It took 4 nurses.
The medicine they gave him is called Amiodarone. They pumped the first bag in in about 10 minutes, then set a second bag on a slow drip. Mom was pretty worried during this, so Karen I found someone to watch the kids, and went down there. He had settled down some by the time we got there, but they went ahead hooked up an external pacemaker. Everything settled down, and we came on home eventually. I talked to Mom late this afternoon, and she said they had taken him off the IV because his heart rate had briefly dropped below 40. Heapos;s doing pretty good again, though. Heapos;s disappointed, though, because he didnapos;t get his shower he has to stay until at least Monday now.
