Joe and I went for Joe's his Appointment to see the Heart Doctor Yesterday.We waited 2 hours before the doctor could see him. Joe started not to feel well and his pulse was doing thump thump thump then stop.His heart was irregular beating so they finally got him into a room and hook him up to a machine to read his heart.The doctor then saw a need for Joe to be admitted to the ICU near by Hospital last night. Today so far he is doing better with new meds.they got his pulse down to 50. Joe will be in ICU for 2 more days. I will keep you posted

We saw the doctor at 7pm tonight he told us that Joe had FLATLINED for 3.7 seconds. The doctor did not tell us when this happened. Doctor thinks it was caused by an interaction with "Abaitapace" medication that regulates his heart rate and the other medicine "Altenol/chlor" for blood pressure. Doctor had cut back on the dose of Abaitapace, but doesn't know what is going on. If Joe continues to have these Flatlines then doctor said he would have to have a pacemaker. So For now doctor wants him to be monitored for 24 to 48 hours. Joe isn't able to come home just yet.

You're both in our prayers. May God bless you both.
