They jumped on him & thumped his chest & got a bit of an irregular pulse so they hit him with the defibrillator.
That revived him so they took him back to ICU.
There was no warning & no apparent reason for it as he had been progressing fairly well.
The only complaints that they had was that he wasn’t eating enough & they wanted him up walking more.
He is VERY lucky that it happened when & where it did ‘cos otherwise he could have died or had brain damage.
Now, since this has happened, he qualifies for a special pacemaker.
It will have 2 functions, one to provide a standard pacemaker function to keep the heart in a regular rhythm & the other is defibrillator function that will give him a kick start if his heart stops again.
He will have to go to Brisbane every 3 months to have it checked.
When he gets out of hospital, hopefully later this week, he will stay in Brisbane for at least another 5 weeks.
Gina & I are flying down Wednesday morning.
Gina is coming home Thursday morning & I will come home Friday night.
Bugga. Hope they sort things out for him mate. Look after yourself while you're looking after him too.

Shyte, sounded like he was making good progress, too.
Be good to see him Wed, mate :)
Sounds like he's in good hands.
Cheers mate................Sean
Just found this Cliff. Hope everything works out ok for you and the old guy. Cheers ;)
yeah Cliff, I share Shedhands sentiments and can but hope that for you and your family that your Dad is able to join you with some modicom of a life of quality.
HOPEFULLY he'll bounce back well from this set-back and enjoy the love and care that is obviously foremost within your family.
All the best
Cheers:)
Your family is still in our thoughts and prayers mate. Glad you are going to see him.
