Hello it's Eric's Mom again. My Eric had a really bad day yesterday. With high fever and heart racing throughout the day he feared a repeat performance of the third day. Short of actually coding again, it was that rough for him, like running a marathon non stop. With medication to try to get his heart to calm down, constant reassurance from the nursing staff that they were not worried, and very restricted visitation and a day of rest they proved to be right. By 8:00 PM a very exhausted Eric laid there trying to relax and stay focused and set his mind that tomorrow would be better. His heart rate was still high but heading down to a better level. They found his arms to be infected from all the IV's and were treating him. His fever was breaking.
Today he awoke in a much better state. Fever gone, heart beat back to normal.. He's off the oxygen and was even able to walk a bit. Positive thinking and good medical care prayers and I hope loving him got him thru. We now know how quickly things can change from bad to good over and over again.
This afternoon after my husband helped him freshen up he was ready to visit with family that was away and several beloved old friends. Nicky (his wife) played the roll of social director and regulated the visits as not to exhaust him. He is enjoying the company even as I write.
I don't know if they are implanting the debrillator tomorrow or Tuesday we will know I believe around 6:00AM Monday. I'll let you know how it all goes. God willing the worst is behind him. Its really been tough. I feel for you all.
Thank you for your kind words of support, I hope soon he will be able to write himself. Good night for now.
Warmly,
Di
