Monty update

Monty went to orientation at cardiac rehab today. He thinks that he is going to like it okay. He will go three times a week for 12 weeks. His blood pressure was a little high today at the rehab appointment. It was 166/88. His heart rate was a little low. It was 55. I am interested to see what his numbers do when he gets off of the medicine that regulates his heart rhythm. Monty does not have to go to the appointment at the infectious disease doctor tomorrow. The lab called and his blood cultures were negative so he does not have to go to the appointment. That is a definite praise! That means that the strep infection is gone! We are so grateful for that. Monty still has to get his INR level checked to see if his Coumadin level has to be adjusted this week. Please pray that Monty's heart rate and blood pressure stay in a safe range when he finishes one of his medicines this week.
