My mother passed away July 19, 2009 of Congestive Heart Failure & Diabetes.

* Diet, especially balancing or keeping a healty diet and weight.
* How much fluid should he be drinking and what to avoid.
* What usually happens with people with CH?, How long do they usually live after
  diagnose? I believe it is 5 yrs, but some people have lived well into 80's
* What will be the medicine side effects.
