I was out grabbing lunch when the cardiologist came in today. My mother-in-law reported back that J.J. was told that his blood pressure is still high (last reading was 178/104, so we can safely file this in the "no crap, really?" category) and that he needs to lose weight, but that he really didn't have much new info.
But Emilee had some different news. J.J. has congestive heart failure. The hope is that with weight loss the strain on will reduce and the issue may resolve itself. Also, it is extremely likely that J.J. will need to be admitted to a rehabilitation facility after he is discharged from the hospital. This is a ginormous bummer, since aside from the fact that I WANT MY HUSBAND HOME NOW, I'm not sure how much our insurance will cover on this. I'm supposed to talk to someone tomorrow about this.
I need to get back. The neurologist (the original Mr. Sunshine) will be in soon and I don't want to miss this consult as well.
