Pedersen To Get Another Pacemaker
737, 04 Feb 2013
Spoke with Dick Pedersen today.
He and Sally are doing fine
However, in his on-going battle with cardiac issues, Dick will be going in tomorrow to replace his pacemaker for the third time - an upgrade to provide more wires of coverage.
Per his note, below, Dick has even more procedures awaiting him:
1/23 - Wed - I started with Cardiac Catherization at Saxony Hospital, Indianapolis. The Dr. revealed problems with aortic valve . Then I had heart failure on Thurday (24th). Pacemaker ICD shocked heart back to sinus rhythm.
Then I was send to Methodist Hospital Indianapolis.on 1/25. I received 2 Cardiac Catherizations. One evaluate cath balloon aortic valve and second evaluate cath found leaking all 4 valves.
On Tuesday, February 5th, I will have Pacemaker/ICD replacement with a third lead for the pace ventricles.
Repair and replacement valves procedures later.
Please keep him and Sally in your thoughts and prayers.
