Well folks, today’s been an interesting day at MD Anderson. Dad was schedule to:
- Get a feeding tube put in his stomach
- Removed the small, temporary drainage tube for his right lung
- Insert a bigger drainage tube in the right lung, just like his left lung
- Remove the left lung drainage tube
Dad has been off his heart meds the last couple days for all these procedures that was schedule for today. His blood pressure was fine, but his heart rate was too fast for the doctors comfort level since dad would be put under. So, MD Anderson actually did an EKG. Naturally, Dad was in a-fib which I think he is in a-fib 24/7.
The final decision was made… all procedures was cancel except removing the small, temporary drainage tube for his right lung. Supposedly he will have the procedures done next week.
MD Anderson discharge dad and he is now home.
