Tim's Dad is out of MICU and has been moved to The Carl H. & Edyth Lindner Heart Failure Treatment Center at Christ Hospital. They have determined he did not, in fact, have another heart attack OR pneumonia. He merely had a large amount of fluid on his lungs for an unknown reason. His blood pressure is extraordinarily low and he will be in for awhile until it comes back up. He is too weak for any additional procedures to help bring it back around. Like the doctor said, "He's come out of this low blood pressure situation before." I just want him to be healthy and comfortable - if you have one, send a shout out to your God on his behalf.
Fortunately, there isn't a much better place he could be for this type of care:
"The Christ Hospital is consistently recognized as one of the best hospitals in the United States and is Greater Cincinnati's top choice for adult health care. For the past 12 years, Christ has been awarded Cincinnati's Most Preferred hospital (NRC). In 2007, it was listed by U.S.News & World Report as one of America's Best Hospitals in five key specialties: Heart and Heart Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Geriatrics, Orthopedics and Respiratory Disorders."
