Update on our Father :)

We took dad to his doctor appointment with Dr. Bolouri and once again received a stellar "clean bill of health." We are very pleased that dad had remained in this "stable state." We did fine out what was causing his "fainting spells," Defecation Vasovagal episode. Apparently, vasovagal episode or vasovagal response or vasovagal attack is a unease or discomfort mediated by the vagus nerve. When it leads to fainting, it is called a vasovagal syncope, which is the most common type of fainting. Defecation syncope: The temporary loss of consciousness (syncope) upon defecating (having a bowel movement). Syncope is the temporary loss of consciousness or, in plain English, fainting. All of this is very common with people that have a weak or bad heart. In dad's case his heart is not that good. We did have one of these episodes a few days ago. Thank G-D the nurse, Jon and I were there. he went down fast. He thankfully did not fall but it took all three of us to lift him up onto the toilet. Bell well everyone that is on the list and see you all at the next meeting. G-D Bless
