Low, Low, Low BP, Download from Scraphead

Last night just after I finished the blog the nurse came in and checked John's BP. He then checked the other arm. His blood pressure was 76/46. He called the Dr. in and they put him on a saline drip. It took all night to get it back up above 110.
This morning the Dr. ordered another unit of blood after his pressure started dropping again. But after he got the blood in his system, he got up and walked to the nurses station and back twice.

So the stress test yesterday showed he has heart disease and has had a mild heart attack. The Dr. is going to talk to a Cardiologist to see if he thinks John should have a stent put in. At any rate he has to change his diet! Woohoo! He eats way too much saturated fats and stuff when I am not there to feed him. Guess I will have to make homemade frozen dinners for him!

Dr. Thompson stopped in first and advised us of the heart attack. He said the Sarcoidosis is not causing the problems. But then the Internist said he thought the sarcoids might be causing the anemia since they do reek havoc on Bone Marrow. I don't know, John will be here at least another day. They have to get this figured out!

I am going to have to leave him here with his daughter and granddaughter tomorrow afternoon. I have a photo gig Saturday and Sunday. It will also give me a chance to work on cleaning John's room good.

Here is today's preview of Scrapheads daily download. And the link to Scraphead to get it is here.

Happy scrapping!
