Well, Opa got to go home yesterday afternoon from spending the day in the hospital. The doctor he seen said all that needed to happen was an adjustment to his medication. This morning Opa was unable to open his eyes or get out of bed. He couldn't squeeze your hand back if you squeezed his. So, once again the EMT's were called. Opa was taken back to Emergency where he was seen by another doctor (so far.). His heart rate was 96! That's way too high! It's taking some wild swings, yesterday it was in the low 30's.
They're bringing in a cardiologist as well as Opa's regular doctor to check on him and hopefully find a reason for these wild swings in his heart rate. I'm told he is resting comfortably and is in a good mind set today. He's calm and not asking where Oma is 24/7 (this was a big issue last time he was in the hospital).
As far as I know right now, he will be in the hospital for a couple of days. Although there is no diagnosis so far, I'm sure this is because they want to 1.) Figure out for sure what is going on. 2). Run some tests and 3.) Monitor his heart rate.
I love my Opa so, so much. He's been my idol since I was just a little girl. I remember spending so much time with him, and loving every minute of it. He was always there to comfort us (the grandkids), teach us new things, and help us anyway he could. I hate seeing him sick and suffering. It's just not fair. Now is my time to be able to comfort him and help him through this tough time. I have confidence that the doctors will be able to figure out what's wrong and do something to help him out. Patience is something I don't have when it comes to peoples health.
