University of Michigan bone marrow transplant services are located on 7th floor of Mott Hospital...connected to University Hospital. 7th floor is where Ron comes to the BMT Clinic; it's directly next to the inpatient area where Ron is now.
The condition that is new is a cardiac problem. PVC premature ventricular contractions. He has these extra heart beats occasionally at rest, but they occur frequently with any exertion-- even standing to use a urinal or taking a few steps into the bathroom. He has electronic monitoring, so his monitor beeps as his heart rate looks like it varies quite a bit. There will be a lot of data for the cardiologist, and I know enough to know that I really don't understand how to interpret the monitor. So he is on a new med for this condition, and the dreaded belly Lovenox shots have resumed so he doesn't have a blood clot problem. Not sure what to expect in the next few days. This hospital stay will probably be about 5 days, so things planned for this week will be changed.
