Yes, he has had a pacemaker installed and can do more than before. He still gets out of breath when he overdoes it.

Hi Coleen, yes, our cardiologist read the report and told us to come back in 2 weeks to make a plan(?) Later that same day, Will was not feeling good and we had to go the ER again. The doctor on call read the same report and told us Will should be on blood thinners and he could get a doctor that night to insert a pacemaker. He said Will had Afib all the time and without a blood thinner, he could have a stroke. We would have had the surgery that night except Will had to be off a certain medication for 5 days before having surgery. In the meantime, he sent us to a cardiologist who referred us to a surgeon. Within a few days, Will had the surgery. He still loses his breath but he was given an inhaler that helps him to breath normally. He does have heart failure, and the shortness of breath and coughing are the symptoms.
I don’t know what the next step would be, but for now, he can function at a slower pace. Needless to say, we switched cardiologists and wouldn’t refer him to anyone. We are very appreciative and grateful to the doctor on call that night who saw Wills problem right away or he may not be here or in a comotose condition.
