I just got a call from my mom. The cardiologist came through this morning and reviewed my dad's info from previous visits (w/ his regular cardi) and from the strips yesterday. His heart is still beating w/ an irregular pattern, but not so much that the cardiologist wants to do a pacemaker. He is putting my dad on a different medication and then they are going to continue to monitor him through out the day and possibly over night.
Thank you all so much for your good thoughts, I really appreciate it.

Great news!! Has your mom decided if she is going to come down this week? Maybe she can postpone it until next week and bring your dad if he is feeling up to it.
ETA: Sorry, I should read the other responses before responding.
Glad to hear your father is doing okay!
