Dad getting biventricular pacemaker tomorrow 6AM

Thank you all for posting your experiences with heart disease. You are some very brave souls here - especially the young single moms and strong, young men who never thought they'd be dealing with heart problems so early in life.

My father has had a PM for 8 years and he is getting the 3rd wire biventricular pacemaker put in in the morning. I am so worried for him. He has lost 50 pounds in the last 3 months. He has CHF. He has no energy and can barely speak. The Dr. says this is his only chance, but he is so frail.

He had a massive heart attack 20 years ago and everyday since then has been a miracle and I thank God for letting me have another day with him. So I have so much to be thankful for. If any of you are the praying type please think of my sweet dad tomorrow morning. God Bless you all.

Let us know how he is doing.
