Then treated as an outpatient with Keflex a month ago for the same thing   will start with broad coverage with IV cefazolin and vanc  blood cx pending   given reoccurrence and recent hx of bacteremia, will obtain imaging to r/o osteo.

E/o unknown   pressures are low as 82 systolic.  Improved with IVF. will hold off on IVF for now given pressures are currently stable and he has a hx of fluid overload with CHF.   will monitor in PCU and if needed will add IVF.    will hold lisinopril and lasix for now.  Will hold sotalol as well but will monitor HR and will need to consider restarting if HR becomes uncontrolled as he has a hx of afib/afluter  3.
