What Next?

I would rather deal with minutia. For the last few days, John's heart has been beating fast. It has been running anywhere from 118 to 140. At first they were not too concerned as it was gong in a normal rhythm and they thought once they got some of the toxins out of his system it would resolve. Yesterday evening they discovered that it is now not a normal rhythm so today they are going to stick a tube down his throat and do an ultra sound of his heart. It seems that this fun began after they put in the temporary line for his dialysis. They say that this sometimes happens due to the line being just a little too close to the heart. Hmnmmmm....nobody told us of that risk before putting the line in. I asked if this would clear up when they backed the line away. The resident said that it does not always go away and that sometimes it becomes permanent and that the problem with it is that because the heart is not going steady, sometimes clots can form so they have to then give blood thinners. I told her that this was just wonderful. On top of a renal diet we would now also have to have a diet that would have to balance his INR's. She said that they will try to not have to give them and that maybe shocking the heart would work. So, I just wonder what is next? When you think you have seen it all and have enough coming down on you, it just seems to keep on raining. I don't think we will be out of this hospital any time soon. Anyhow, it is one more thing that we would like you to pray about. We are sure hoping that this is not permanant. Thanks guys. Don't know what we would do without you.
