Latest on my dad: He's been doing better. They have plans to do a procedure tomorrow that I doubt I could adequately explain, but basically it involves mapping the electrical activity in the heart and zapping the areas that aren't working right (terrible explanation I realize). It is an option other than a pace-maker. So, that's the plan I think. However, I just tried to call Dad, and my sister answered. He had just gotten up to go to the restroom, and all of the sudden everyone came running because the monitors showed his heart rate had gone up to 177. They gave him a med to bring it down, and that's kind of how our call ended. So . . . not sure where that leaves things at this point. Mom had gone home for the evening, but I suspect her plans of a restful evening away from the hospital just ended.
