Brother in law being transferred back to heart center

[Michie]

Same one I discussed in the last thread. Just got a call from my sister in law because we do not hear anything from anyone in his family. I guess he got up the morning and could not breathe again. He just had that defib/pacemaker in. I can't imagine what the issue is. Again, prayers appreciated.

Pulmonary edema. His lungs are full liquid. He is sedated and on a ventilator. I'm kind of confused though. Maybe that defib/pacemaker needs adjustment?

Prayers for him.

Best wishes and prayers. Not sure why that device would cause his lungs to fill with fluid, but I'm no doctor. Let us know.

I thought the devise was supposed to prevent it.

A pacemaker ensures one's heartbeat stays "regular." But again, I'm no doctor, can't say if it acting up might cause such a thing, just seems odd to my unmedically-educated self.

Well it's a defib/pacemaker. I know they often need adjustment for a patient's needs to keep the heart funtional. He has not even had it in three weeks. So I question if it is working as it should.

Well best to him regardless. It's so easy to forget how fragile life really is.

He is in pretty bad shape. On top of that it brings everything else to the surface. We will know more tomorrow.
