They have decided NOT to do the scope or the cardioconversion on my Dad – they are not sure it will work. Instead, they are going to try a medication that they hope will correct the problem. He will be in the hospital another 2 or 3 days so that they can monitor him, and then he will go home for a couple of weeks, while they continue to monitor him. The really good news is that he doesn’t feel bad – but that also means that it is a little more difficult for him to grasp the severity of the situation. Please keep praying for him and for my Mom.
They have put him on Coumadin – and cautioned him that he will not be able to use a regular razor, because the risk of cutting himself greater than with an electric razor. Right now, he is complaining about the electric razor, although I’m pretty sure he is resigned to it. And when I say, “grump” I do not mean that he is complaining a lot or even very loudly. He just doesn’t like using (and cleaning) an electric razor and he doesn’t want to have to buy one. We are letting him complain – and getting him a new razor anyway – and he will use it or face my Mom’s wrath. I’m pretty sure he’ll make the right choice!
Please keep them in your prayers.
