A little update on my dad. Overnight the medication they were giving him to try to get his heart beat evened out caused his blood pressure to bottom out so they had to quit giving it to him. They are now trying an oral med. They said he has Afib - Attrial Fibrillation. They are not sure if the pnuemonia is causing it or if he was already experiencing it before he got sick. His heart rate has been 150-200 beats a minute. They have also put a bipap on him for his breathing. What does this all mean? I'm not really sure and am waiting for another call from my brother later this afternoon. That call will decide wether I get in the car in the morning and head down there. I just came home from work early cause I didn't sleep last night and I'm exhausted so I'm going to try to get a nap.
