Gene has been experiencing atrial fibrillation yesterday and today. They did an EKG and found him to have a good strong heart rhythm. They changed out the leads on the monitor (one had come loose and was stuck to his gown instead of his chest), and that seemed to keep it from going quite so high, but it did keep on alarming. They have started him on some medication to get it in check. Emily has decided to spend the night at Kindred again tonight. She's stayed for several nights, and she sleeps in a recliner when she is there. It's causing her to have some level of increased back pain.
Gene's temperature is now near normal and he said today that he rested well last night and felt better. He was alert, but kept his eyes closed and rested most of the time.
They have increased both his oxygen and pressure to give him support and let his heart not have to work so hard. His pressure is at 24 and his oxygen is at 40.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene to have strength and courage. Pray for Emily to find the balance she needs between caring for Gene and nurturing herself.
