Here's a quick update. Martha's Dad has a 20 history of heart problems, including two heart attacks and bypass surgery. His doctor strongly recommended a permanent defibulator (a/k/a defibrillator) and it was implanted this morning. He is doing fine, but his doctor wants to keep him over night just as a precaution. I presume they may do some tweaking of the defibulator as well.

Martha and I really appreciate all the prayers.

I visited my father-in-law on this evening and he's doing fine. Unless problems develop tonight, he'll be coming home tomorrow morning. Of course, the weather could change those plans. :lol:

Thanks for all of the prayers.

I'm sure they covered this at the hospital, but, no MRI's for him.
AICD's (internal defibs) can be safe, but you gotta go through a lot of stuff to make it so.

my mom got a Pacer put in 'bout a year ago, the recovery time for those is a LOT less these days, but make sure he takes it easy for a month, at least.
good health to ya.
