Post op appointment

Mac did great during his appointment today. His pacemaker interrogation went ok. The machines are still double sensing so sometimes it looks like his heart rate is super fast (tachycardia) but it’s not really. But the electrophysiology doctor was concerned. Apparently Boston and Birmingham arent talking to each other yet so I have some emails and phone calls to make. 
We are still waiting on lab results but some are back - his uric acid is still on the high side so we won’t be cutting out the med that helps with that. And his BNP is back already - it was over 3000 while we were in Boston and is now 1700. Still very high - normal is 0-100- but much better than 3000.
His doctor wants him to recover for 3 more weeks before going back to school.
This is his prize/bribe for being such a good boy today - a suction cup crossbow he loved at the hospital camp.
