Bob continues to have episodes of atrial flutter. He had an MRI earlier this week. He has not been told the final results yet. Evidently these results will help his physicians to determine whether he will need a pacemaker or a defibrillator. These devices are implanted in patients in order to provide a way to restore a normal heart rhythm quickly when things like flutter are detected.

Mom is doing well. She survived a day at the funeral of my grandfather on the 12th. This was her first husband's father.

Bob is home! He will go to outpatient cardiac rehab tomorrow at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. He will be assessed as to whether he needs the more intense rehab at this cardiac rehab center or whether he is ready for a home program. If he needs to go to the cardiac rehab center he will travel there from home probably five times each week for the next several weeks.
