Hello everyone. You may know me as Mom to Idrees with congenital heart defects. Well, Idrees is doing fantastic; however my husband went through triple bypass last week so I now have 2 heart patients in the family. He did not have a heart attack, he was sent to the cath. lab by his cardiologist because of some abnormal cardiac studies. They did the cath, found the blockages and did surgery the next day. He came through it beautifully....surgery Weds. home on Saturday. Physically doing very well so far but I have seen some behavioral/emotional changes that I think are normal but wanted your input. He has periods of being very negative to everyone in the house (of course it doesn't help that it's spring break and the kids are at home all day). He keeps looking around for jobs for us to do. Yesterday he had my 15 y.o. son cleaning the cover to our hot tub and then convinced the kid that he needs a psychological evaluation because he's been forgetting to turn in his homework lately. Later he's happy, laughing,etc.... Is this fairly typical? Any suggestions?
