Dad was coded again at 11:58pm Tuesday night. He went into V-Tach again.
He did not have to be intubated this time and was back in his normal abnormal A-Fib rhythm fairly quickly. They did have to shock him once, but no adrenaline this time, only some lidocain and a few chest compressions. It took a little time to rouse Mom but we both went in and sat with him until about 3:00am. He is resting comfortably and the procedure is still on for tomorrow at 10:30am unless he has another episode tonight in which case they may take him to the cath lab and insert a defib to keep him from having another V-Tach.
I am going to try and get a few hours of sleep. I will update when I can.
God is good!

Rusty, we so appreciate your call and having access to the blog. We will check it often for updates.
ReplyDeletePlease give Jamie and Beverly our love; we will keep all of you in our prayers.
When you called, I thought about the float trip you and Jamie and I took down the Buffalo River many years ago. Mainly I remember carrying the canoe more that we floated, but it was a beautiful experience nevertheless and one of many blessings Jamie shared.
We also greatly enjoyed the photos on the blog, though Kay said she didn't recognize Jamie when he had hair. And she has known him a long time!
Our love to all,
Jesse & Kay
