Things are ever changing here in Rochester. The weather is beautiful-near 60, tomorrow the wind chill will be in the teens! Chris is doing well. He was wide awake when we got here about 8:45-in fact he asked his nurse-Jody- where we were. He's high fever broke during the night, but he still has a bit of one today but not as high. He was still in atrial flutter when we got here so it was decide to see how things were at 10 am. At that time they would make the decision to do cardioversion or not (cardioversion is giving the heart a little shock to get it to convert to normal sinus rhythm) They sedated Chris and did the cardioversion a little after 10. They actually did two shocks. They have the external pacemaker pacing his heart for a little while to try and get it to stay in normal sinus. The nurse said she thought he was in normal sinus on his own without the pacemaker. He is still pretty sedated although he did open his eyes when he heard my voice. Hopefully this will do the trick and then they can start to turn down the vent. Time will tell. I'll post more when I know more. Take Care. MJ
