Well finally some answers. No new heart damage noted but his potassium was critically low. They are trying to get it back up but it is a very slow process with him. Doctor says that normal people when their potassium starts dropping the symptoms they show he has all the time anyway so he doesn't notice anything new until it is critical. He has been very depressed and crying today. But was better before I left. He made me come home so that I could rest a little, yeah right I have been cleaning house or on the phone since I got home. I am taking tomorrow off too and he didn't throw as big a fit as I thought he would. We did alot of talking today. Plus it is a big help with the nurses to have a family member there to take care of things. His brother is coming in Sunday to spend the day and then his dtr said that her and grandbabies will be in next weekend. Doc says if his potassium comes up to normal tomorrow he will let him come home. If not he has to stay until it does so that they can monitor his heart. |
