Pressure Update

Today Dad was admitted for iv treatment of his pulmonary hypertension. The heart cath showed that his pressures were still very high so then began iv treatment immediately after the procedure. The meds have to run for 48 hours, but it appears they are making a difference. Dr. Torre will be in first thing in the morning to decide what to do next. If they do let him go home, he now has a PICC line in his arm and will be able to administer the medications via the catheter. However, that decision will be made tomorrow. For now, Dad is resting comfortably and in very good hands.
