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.

I have heard of great results of this procedure. My thoughts & prayers are for you & your family. We are truly blessed that science has come so far & continues to advance to help us all.

Let us know how he is doing.
