I went and visited dad today, he was doing well. His mixed venous numbers were low this morning but they came back up after he was given more Dibuterine (diuretic) His blood pressure was very low today but they say that is because he was on Nitro for the past 3 days. The ectomy he has had in his heart has all but gone away, meaning he was throwing PVC’s (bad rhythm) He is more stable now, than he has been since going into the hospital, which is great news for everyone. The heart failure team was in this morning and said they had gotten nibbles on donor hearts all week but none of them proved to be the right heart for dad, so we wait until the right one comes along. Thankfully the weekend is here and weekends are always good for hearts, or so the doctors say.
Dad was excited to see the picture I brought him of Titan, we put it on the wall at his feet so he can see him, he loves him already. Dad can’t wait to meet him.
