Thank you Dana,
My father has been resting for two days and hemoglobin levels are stable and hoping the bleeding is slowing. The doctor opened bandage to check for seeping and things are looking good. The hematoma is still large and it will take some time for it to disperse. The plan is not to open him back up for risk of infection and another bleed. So we wait and keep him comfortable.
My sister, my daughter , grandchildren, and myself sent a few pictures to our Mother and other sister to show our Dad our birthday wishes for him today. Miss him very much. He is a wonderful, caring, man and has been a barber for 60 plus years. He was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne and a father of six children until one of his son's died of bone cancer 2014. He and Mom have always been a great team and with a work hard, play hard, loving attitude.
I will let you know how things progress. Thank you ever so much for your concern. Have a wonderful evening Dana.

Hi. I just joined this evening and realize your post was awhile ago, but am wondering how your Dad's situation evolved? My Dad also developed a hematoma in the pacemaker pocket, but 20 years after implantation. I hope all worked out well for your Dad. 🙂
