At least that's what they've said in the past. Today they are checking his heart for strange rhythms. His blood pressure is back up some, but not where it should be after lying still for hours and pumping in 2-1/2 bags of fluids.
He has passed out in Orlando, Maui, my brother's church in St. Louis, various and sundry restaurants, my guest bathroom, his own bathroom, and several other places I can't think of right off the bat. He has only hurt himself once when he fell, and that was minor. But it's getting kind of scary; he could keel over anywhere. Also pray for my mom; this is hard on her; she's afraid to leave him alone.

Just read this Sherri. I will pray.
