Dad had some sort of blood infection a few years ago, and this apparently did some damage to his heart, which is affecting him now. From what they say, he has two bad valves, and they can't replace them due to his advanced age.
In December he had a bad spell of shortness of breath, and I took him to the ER, where they determined that he had had congestive heart failure, which is a heart attack due to accumulated fluid in the body. This is when the two bad valves were diagnosed. He did a stay in a care center, where he did physical therapy to get some strength back.
