Yakov Update 2 Sept 2009

Last Friday, Yakov suffered another episode of extreme dysrythmia. The ER recorded his heart over the course of four hours ranging from a low of 38 beats per minute to a high of 221 beats per minute. He experience a series of ministokes again and has been greatly weakened by them. He was placed in cardiac ICU for observation over the weekend where his heart returned to a normal pattern.

We were able to bring him home today. The cardiologist and neurologist are in agreement that he needs surgery to "burn out" misbehaving nerves, probably needs a pace-maker, and definitely needs valve replacement surgery. In the same breath that they said this, they also said it was a sad state of affairs since he will likely get none of the three because he has no insurance and no means to pay for anything.

On happier news, we stopped by the courthouse on the way home and Yakov took his citizenship oath with Judge O'Hanlon, so Yakov's citizenship is now official and we no longer have to worry about deportation or some other bureaucratic madness.

We ask you to keep Yakov in your thoughts and prayers and thank you for your continued emotional support through all of this.

Yakov Update 4 - VIII - 09

Yakov ssuffered another episode of dysrythmia and ministroke this past weekend. He had some numb spots form on his face and hands, but these resolved themselves rapidly. The trip to the hospital was frustrating since the EKG that recorded the episode in the ambulance was not kept by the hospital so yet another opportunity to establish the exact nature and possible remedy of the underlying problem was lost.

They made him wait from about 8 PM until 3 AM before performing a CT Scan, so they dropped the ball again on getting a clear record of the region of the brain that was affected by the ministroke.

It was infuriating in the extreme because even though I am not a doctor, I knew they should have at least kept him and ran more tests, but they summarily discharged him within 15 minutes of doing the CT scan.

Thank you to all of you who have donated. It has been very helpful in setting up some physical therapy appointments. Sadly, like everything else that is done via "cash money", the system doesn't know how to deal with it any more, so it takes longer.

If anyone has magic medical insurance pills, please send them ASAP

Yakov home from Hospital

Unsurprisingly, the so-called doctors at the hospital ran a lot of expensive tests and sent Yakov home to us with the recommendations that he have valve-replacement surgery and maybe a pacemaker. Something we've known for a considerable time, but aren't able to afford.

At least he's alive and at home. We appreciate all the emails and comments. I've printed them out and shown them to him, so he sends his thanks to you each.

Yakov still has some problems with speech and memory. In his own words "it's better than being dead... or being at that do-nothing hospital, which is worse by far than being dead; at least people sometimes talk to the dead, unlike the staff at that place."

The photo of the dashing fellow in desert garb is Vincent Price as the deliciously abominable Dr. Anton Phibes in "Dr. Phibes Rises Again" - which Yakov has just finished watching (again).

Yakov's health

Yakov suffered a series of transient ischemic attacks or "mini-strokes" this past week. He is doing better than could otherwise be expected under these circumstances, but he is very weak and disoriented. As it was explained to us, these occured because his pulse went above 180 beats per minute. If the medical system in this country were worth a damn, they'd already have outfitted him with valve replacements and a pacemaker. So much for the much hoped for great health reform Mr. Obama promised. We hope you will continue to remember him in your prayers.
