Jess asked me to post a few details about the day, which has not been very good. Between a upsetting visit from ENT, and a fever of 105, John's heart went back into a- fib and he is back in the cardiac ICU. They have been trying to get his heart back to a normal rhythm since 4:00 p.m. or so with drugs. It has not worked so far. Jess was called back to the clinic when they were passing the 615 exit on Rt. 90.
They are exploring the option of trying to shock his heart back into rhythm. There are risks in doing this because of his platelet counts, but at this point it is felt the benefits outweigh the risks.
Jess is going to try and call me later tonight with any updates and I will forward them on the blog to you...please keep him in your prayers tonight. This is one of those critical points in his recovery.
