Little Trickster

ugh... little trickster.. He's back into artrial flutter.. right when I posted the last post he flipped into it.. We gave him a higher dose of Sotalol  just now. They may have to zap him out of it again. His heart rate is a perfect 173, it is precise and steady and he is having no problems what so ever.  He is in an irregular rhthym again, so they will have to break it.. what a little trickster. We are not too worried about it as this will be the third time they get him out of it. The Sotalol may kick him out of it, but they are getting prepared to zap him again. Time to have a morphine ride again, which kind of sucks since he was just getting active.
They are upping his dose of Sotalol again and then giving him a second anti-arrhythmic medication. He definitely likes to keep everyone on their toes.  This is getting frustrating, there doesn't seem to be any cause. It just seems to start randomly. The rhythm specialist will be here in an hour to pace him out of it.
