11/19/06: Update on David's status

Dr. Kelly, the cardiologist came by dad's room this morning. He said the result of the MUGA scan is that David's heart squeezes 33% of blood with each beat (normal is 55%). When the heart squeezes 35%, a defibrallator implant is usually not recommeded. Since dad's is so close to 35%, he is recommending medication and watching his condition. So, no implant is needed at this time.

Dad will be transferred to a room on the third floor today. But, the best news is that tomorrow, Monday, he may go home!!!
