Dialysis this morning (cont.)

Have a little more information, but first thanks for your prayers. They are being answered in the affirmative right now. This was another A-Fibrillation episode. He had one a couple of days ago, and they got it under control with medication and then his heart maintained a normal rythem for two days until this morning's episode. His heart rate has been normal to high (70 -100 beats per minute). During this morning's A-fib episode it spiked into the 180s. When I do the math on that it just astounds me. 180/60 = 3 beats a second. I see something like that and think the human heart just can't take much more than that. It just sounds impossible. While everything else going on with dad certainly makes it very serious, one website I checked this morning said that A-fib patients can exhibit heart rates as high as 300-600 times a minute. Even at the low end; 300/60 = 5 beats a second. I can't twitch my fingers that fast. It boggles my mind the device God made when He made the human heart that can survive stress like that. Thankful this morning that dad's A-fib was not worse and that it is in fact coming down (at last check he was in the 140s). Love you all. Thanks for your prayers. Thanks Jesus for listening.
