First ER visit

Chi's heart rate has been all over the place since about 10am this
morning. His pulse oximeter has read as high as 230 and as low as 56.
After speaking with cardiology throughout the day, we finally came in
to the ER. His rate is still all over, just not as wide of a scope.
100 to 180 is still irregular to me. His port was accessed, labs were
drawn, chest xray taken, and 12-lead EKG complete. We should get lab
results back soon and THEN cardiology will be consulted. Why they are
the last to get involved, no clue. Update to come later.
