3rd Day of Chemo....A turn of events

I don't even know where to begin....I guess I should back up to 3am after the doctor and nurses evaluating Eric's heart rate actually has decreased even more now he is in the 40's on his heart rate and his blood pressure went back down for part of the day but now is back up again to 149/90.

Eric's doctor is very concerned and doesn't know why his heart rate and blood pressure took this turn, he did not want to get a cardiologist involved due to possibly making him be removed from the transplant list if they felt he had a heart problem that developed now but at this point had no choice.

We meet with the cardiologist doctor and Eric was placed on a heart monitor which records and watches every beat and rhythm his heart does. The doctor said Eric might have to have a pace maker put in if he goes into the 30's on his heart rate......I can not believe this! What possibly more could happen?

Please everyone pray for Eric, pray that his blood pressure goes down and his heart rate will go up and he will not end up needing a pace maker........
