Here's an update from Cathy, and she gives the name of the hospital:

"Hi Sunil,

Just a short update...they were going to try to shock Rex's heart back into a normal rythmn this morning. While they were prepping him, he started coughing up what they were giving him & he threw his heart back into a normal rythmn. Heart doc said he hadn't seen that before & they didn't need to do the procedure! So now we wait to see if he stays in a normal rythmn.

Bob Lusk called last night and we were both comforted by his kind words. Rex did look at some of the posts on the forum last night & got a good laugh at the post saying he was needed for any future PVC muskrat problems! Seeing him laugh was truly uplifting....thank you all.

In case anyone wants the info, he's in SSM DePaul Health Center in Bridgeton, MO. He has his cell phone, but I don't know if he has it on right now. He's pretty worn out & talking is a bit rough (dry throat, general exhaustion, etc.) I'm hoping he has turned the corner on this...needless to say he won't be taking Batrim (not Biacin like I mistyped earlier) again!

Cathy"

Later tonight, I'll try to find the actual address for those who want to send things unless someone cares to do it first.
