Misa ~ sorry to hear about your dad; I understand your concern for him and his well-being.

Just wanted to let you know there are other methods to resolving AFib that work. My husband had a quad bypass and then developed AFib a few days later and shocked him out of it. 6 months later he went into it again and had another shock and this time was also given meds including the blood thinner Coumadin. 2 months later it was back and they did an ablation ... basically killed an ultra small area of the inside of his heart that was sending out the screwed up signal for his heart to beat. He felt so much better after that and was happy to throw away the pills and stop the blood thinner!

He hasn't had another episode in 3 years. Hope the shock works for him ... it looks like he has so many more quilts to make!
