Good news about my dad

[randy_byers]

Mom tells us that they performed an ablation on Dad yesterday. I thought it was going to be done on Thursday, so how oblivious am I? In an ablation, they send a catheter up through the artery in your thigh and up into your heart, and they dissolve/cauterize damaged nerve or scar tissue on the heart muscle that causes atrial fibrillation. Mom says they found a spot and cauterized it, and Dad reported that the surgical staff cheered when his heart went into sinus rhythm. The cardiologist is saying there's a 97% chance that his heart will remain in sinus rhythm now.

So that's pretty much all I need for Xmas this year. Hallelujah! Bring on the solstice!
