F/u to My Dad needs heart surgery

So, after Hunter's baptism, apparently my (step)dad had a racing heart on Sunday morning.  He went to the ER and they gave him beta blockers to bring it back down and it worked.  However, now they are changing his surgery...they are going to first put an ultrasound down his throat to check for clots around the heart.  If there's no clots, then they will try to shock it back into a normal rhythm.  So T&Ps that there's no clots and that he's shockable tomorrow - and that it works.  If that works then he'll go from there and see if he still needs the ablation.

My dad is handling it well (at least on the phone he sounds okay).  My mom is a hot mess and had to take another day off work.  Luckily she's been there forever so she gets a ton of days off but I know she's going to need to save some for her back.  Its so cute, both of them are so worried about the other and not themselves.

Re: F/u to My Dad needs heart surgery

  • Heart stuff is scary, but the technology we have these days is AMAZING!

    Sounds like the docs think its not as serious as some other heart conditions, so thats good if it just needs a little jump start to "reboot" ;)

    Ditto! And it is cute that they're concerned about the other... I'm sure I'd be a HOT MESS, too, if it were my DH...

    T&P to you and your family!

  • Heart stuff is definitely scary (my Dad's going through it too).  Lots of T&P that everything goes well!

    Thritto!  I hope it all goes well.
  • T's and P's to your Dad.
  • Hoping everything works out with no clots.  T&P coming your way!
  • Thanks ladies! Your support is the best.... Better than DH's "everything is always ok" approach!

  • Aw, how adorable that they are both  looking out for each other. T&Ps for both their well being!
  • I hope he's clot-free and shockable!! I'll be thinking of him (and you)!
  • I'll be thinking of you and your dad tomorrow! I hope he's feeling better soon.
  • I hope both your parents do well and recover quickly. Its hard to watch them neglect their own ailments to care for the other. Do what you can to encourage them to care for their own health too. You can't be a good caregiver if you aren't well either. Thoughts and prayers for both!
