Update on my Dad

Well, he had the Electrical cardioversion done this morning and it didn't work. They used the paddles on him twice. Each time it put his heart back into the right rythm and then went right back into the irregular heart beat. So, they scheduled a Nuclear Stress Test and that has also already been completed this morning. He has been and is very short of breath and they aren't sure why. The stress test came back ok and doesn't look like there are any signs of heart problems/heart attack and the lungs are fine as well. They are taking him off of two of the three medications that he is on for his heart. They are leaving him on the medicine that they just put him back on for the Atrial Fibrillation. I'm not sure what their next step is going to be, but I will post another update as soon as we hear something. Thanks for the comments you have left and for your concern and prayers.
