I've had the ICD defibrillator/pacemaker put in about 2 yrs. ago and it has made a world of difference in me. I have so much more energy now. The recovery time is short and definitely worth the benefits. Just tell Tom to hang in there and follow the dr's instructions. I remember the day I had the procedure done, a nurse said "Happy Birthday" to me. I asked her why she did that. She said "because today is the new beginning of your life and you are going to want to remember this date. It's the day the Dr. gave you your life back." I hope things go well for Tom now. Please continue to let us know how he is doing. Hugs, Pam

It sounds like with the help of you and your 4 year old assistant doctor, he is coming along slowly. He is one tough guy. Please know that all of us over on Casinos One will be thinking of you and Tom.

He's bleeding internally and tomorrow the docs are going to try and find the leak. We went thru this about 2 years ago 21 units of blood and 12 days before the bleed stopped. This time he has some extra issues going on in addition to this, so it's tough. He won't be making it to Biloxi for sure now. Please Pray for him. Jen

Registered User Posts: 3354 09/08/2009 22:29 admin	We just got home. I put Tom to bed. He is so happy to be home. The bleeding stopped and his hematocrit went to 31. (they gave him blood) and took him off a bunch of meds. He's still weak and real nauseated and has trouble eating, but now maybe he can get better. It is so amazing how in the last 24 hours he has rallied so well. I believe in prayer, and we thank you ever so much. Tom's a gambler and when the doc said he had to make a decision and gave him two choices. 1) stop the blood thinners and risk a stroke 2) take the blood thinners and continue to bleed. He felt the best thing was to go for no blood thinners. He said having a stroke is not in his plans and took those odds. When a doctor or nurse came in with that worried look he would just tell them to chill out, it wasn't his time to go and to quit worrying. That's the same thing he told the EMT's this last time in the ambulance too. The man has an unbelievable faith, and attitude. The girls on the floor actually said they were going to miss him, but that didn't mean he had to come back (again), they would just run into him at the casinos or at Walmart. lol. I am so grateful for our friends here and so appreciative for all the prayers and well wishes. Jen

Registered User Posts: 3354 09/11/2009 22:07 admin	Today Tom went back in ICU CC. His blood pressure is extremely low. the lowest it got was 48/28. When I left they had gotten it up to 90/50 but it kept dipping down. Tonight he is having tests to see if he has a blood clot in his lungs. If that is not the cause the doctor thinks it may be his meds. This will be his 4th hospital admit since July 19th. Thanks for all the prayers. Jen

Registered User Posts: 3354 09/19/2009 10:46 admin	Thanks, I just noticed I haven't updated over here on this board. I got to bring Tom home Monday night. The nurse still comes every other day now to dress his arm. (I do it on the odd days). She keeps up with his vitals. We were in such high hopes of the defib making things easier on him. It's doing it's job but his nausea and dizziness are still with him pretty bad. The days and nights seem to run together and I really meant to post something before now. He is getting up every hour and walks around the house for 5 minutes with a cane. This is actually more than he was doing before he went in the hospital so I am happy to see that. He's still pretty chipper and full of laughs. The doctor sent a monitor which sends his heart info to the office. He had one before that did his weight and BP but this thing sits next to his bed and scans his ICD wirelessl during the night. Amazing how far medicine has come. I saw a prototype of this 15 years ago and had forgotten about it. We so appreciate all the cards, and emails. I apologize if you have called or emailed me and I haven't answered. I will. Sometimes I just can't get to the phone and my computer time is so short. We so appreciate all of you. Jen

Registered User Posts: 287 09/20/2009 20:28	Jen, just out of curiosity, do they have Tom on a medication called Coreg? They had me on it after my defib was installed and it made me so sick with nausea and dizziness. They switched the med and I was fine then. Just a thought, but talk to the dr. about the meds. That may be the problem.
