Dad is doing great, he is up walking everyday. The nurses in the ICU love him because they get to go off the floor, normally ICU patients are to sick to even get in a chair, so they welcome the change of pace..literally. He was given a new drug today to try and stimulate the internal pacemaker which is holding steady at 62%, they want it to 80% before he can go home. They are hoping the new drug will accomplish this and he can go home Monday or Tuesday.
