I am happy to hear that you are doing well Elizabeth.
I know the return of AF is a big set back for your father, but in some people this does happen.
I wouldn't be overly concerned until he is converted and see if that holds. In some people this has happened, but when converted they hold. In a few other cases the people have to have a touch up ablation to correct the problem.
I hope all continues good for you and improves for your father.
