Tuesday Afternoon Update: This morning the cardiologist saw Dad. He is concerned that Dad's COPD is probably what caused his heart to go out of rhythm and so has ordered breathing treatments and steroids to get the breathing improved. If this works overnight, then tomorrow at noon the cardiologist, will numb Dad's throat, put a camera down to take pictures that will show him if there are any clots present in the heart, if there are none, he will shock Dad to convert his heart rhythm back to normal rhythm. Ev and I are happy that we now have a plan of action and we also both really liked the Cardiologist. He was good about explaining in simple terms what is going on with Dad's heart and what it should be doing.
So, once we have rhythm, then we can move on from there.
Yay.
