Deja Vous Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Wife's in the hospital. Congestive heart failure...no previous warning, just swelling, difficulty breathing, and chest pressure. Went to Urgent care and they plopped her right into ER and stared all kinds of tests and such. BP is down and back up, from way too low to way too high. Arythmia is still not under control. Lots of water being drained through her system. Her mom died from CHF at 93 and her brother has had it for a couple of years at age 70. She's hoping to be home for Christmas but the doc says don't count on it yet. Scared the crap out of me. Still does. Thanks for the prayers and wishes. OM gosh.. Fortys you are my friend.... and I love you guys... I will keep you both in my prayers... Please let me know what is going on and if I can help.. hugs Deja..
Blue Steel Duke Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Hang in there Pard, many times when an arrhythmia like A-Fib or such is corrected, the CHF corrects itself. The irregular rhythm makes the heart pump in an inefficient way and fluid backs up. Praying that the Physicians will find the right medicine and you'll have your bride back home! BSD

So I guess we can't say you're full of it anymore. (sorry, sorry, trying for a bit of levity) Thanks for the update. It is scary as hell when something gets dropped out of the blue like that. Especially when they start the controlled frenzy when they see a potential "OCRAP!" situation. Prayers will continue.
