Update...

I was meaning to post some pics. Time is passing, it doesn't always feel like anyone actually reads this. But it's nice to have a place to sort my thoughts any how. Where to even start. I'm waiting for a few things, all medical. My lab stuff for me, Jack's MRI. Oh, he went in for his 6 month cardiology (more like 9... it was late)he had an ECHO too and did, thankfully really well sitting still for them. Watching Open Season and giggling; for the most part. He did wince and scowl at the tech a few times. When they have to press on some areas and Jack has no padding like Mom to cushion the pressing, i'm sure it hurts some. I asked the tech if they could print a hard copy of Jack's heart since they had once in the past from Jack's request. He wasn't sure how, so he got someone. They didn't have it set up to do so, they felt bad so they copied it all on to a CD. More than I asked for and very nice. I can review his whole ECHO and have, all 50+ pictures. They were meant to be just still shots, but it's the actual whole ECHO. And now that they think they may have found "SOMETHING" I've had even more insomnia. Jack's Cardiologist said it could be a blood clot. It is near the hole they purposely placed in his heart to let the O2 flow through his heart. IF it is a blood clot it could dislodge and go through his heart and up to his brain, causing a stroke. They can give him stronger RX, but would have to go in once a month to have his blood drawn, so as to monitor the levels in his blood. I don't know what else it could possibly be. But instead of speculating, they are going to have an MRI done to get a better look at it. Jacks cardiologist told me he'd asked the specialist if they could get a better look in that area. And had it confirmed. And pressed to me the urgency of it and that I would receive a phone call to set the appointment... This was Friday morning. It's now Tuesday, and they called this morning just to inform me that the specialist has to place his signature on the urgency as to when it will be scheduled and then they'll schedule it. May be within the next few days. They really know how to hurry things along and make you wait! This is rather typical... as long as he's not scheduled three months from now, or that would really stress me out.
