Papa Update #1

Last night Papa was moved to the intensive care unit because his heart rate went up into the 200s during an xray. He was monitored through the night and is doing better this morning. His heart rate is down in the 120-130 range and his blood pressure which had been really low is still low, but more stable. He will be seen by a cardiologist today and he will determine whether or not papa can go back to the medical floor. He will probably stay in the hospital for a while until they get him rehydrated and back on his feet. He finished his round of chemo last Wednesday so hopefully he won't have to start another for a while so that he can get some strength back. We'll see I'm not sure how the chemo stuff works. I chatted with him on the phone this morning and was bitting back tears as I listened to his raspy voice. He got me to smile and even giggle a little because he is still his ornery self. I love you papa. Thanks for all of your prayers and please continue to pray. Oh, my other grandpa, Grandpa Sam is also having a hard time. He is having some heart problems. Please pray for him as well. God bless.
