Hi everyone. Dad had a setback last night and had to be put back on the ventilator for a few hours. He was also moved back into ICU on the second floor of the hospital.
According to Bill, there was a blockage between Dad's heart and lung, possibly caused by a scab being lodged in there. It caused Dad's heart rate to spike and his oxygen level to drop significantly. After he was moved, they were able to remove Dad from the ventilator but his heart is still out of rhythm.
Bill is with Dad and will keep me updated. He won't leave the hospital until Dad is comfortable again. I'll post updates more frequently until Dad stabilizes.

We have been out all do so are just reading the alarming note this evening. We hope and pray that this is just a temporary setback. We will try contacting you by telephone tomorrow.

Hey Cuz.
Keep the faith, setbacks can be expected. It will take a bit for that new lung to get dialed in.
We are all burning up the channels to the big guy, so you will be OK.
Take care
