    Lymph Nodes Shrunk and Blood Work Normal!

    That is the best news I have heard in 9 months!

    Thank God!

    He still has the dark circles under his eyes, but I am starting to think they may due to the heart stuff.

    They took the catheter out of his heart on Monday and then took the port out of his arm yesterday. The guy that put the port in originally happened to be at the hospital and stopped by and said hi to my husband. He also mentioned he had warned my husband with all the muscle in his arm it could very easily pop off. Guess my husband should have opted for the one in his chest. Oh well! Live and learn.

    He still feels like he is having the A-Fib. The people working on his catheter and his port never saw him have an episode of A-Fib, but they did see him having lots of Pre-Mature Atrial Beats, which can lead to A-Fib at times.

    So it will be interesting to see where all of that ends up, but at least we are only working on one problem at a time!
