Hello all. Hope everyone is enjoying there summer. Seems like it was a fast summer. Mike is still trying to get himself better, so he can come home. On Wednesday while having P.T. at rehab he started with chest pain and off he went to the ER.They admitted him.So They can do a stress test today, but the nurse forgot to let the dept. that does the tests, know that Mike needed to be put on the list for todays stress tests so he had to stay another night in the hospital and Tomorrow he should have it done. He has been in rehab for a little over 60 days. I am so ready for him to come home. It has been since April. He is still not able to stand on his legs for any longer than 45 seconds. He has a very long road ahead of him. This is getting so old for me, I know it is so much worse for Mike. He was in the ER for about 2 hours and the rehab.(Envoy) called asking if he was coming back. I talked to them today to let them know he was staying another night and again they wanted to know if he was coming back. I told them he was and they said he is the nicest guy and every one was missing him. They treat him and myself so good there and they want to come work with him at my home once he is abe to come home. I still have a problem with the doctor but he is watching his blood work closely and he has not needed to be drained in a month. I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers for Mike and please continueto pray for him. The prayers have gotten him this far and him and I really apprciate it so much. Mikes best buddy Romeo has been going to see his Doctor on a regular basis. I thought it was a long time for him to be acting funny about his daddy being gone so I took him back to the vet again. I told then to do a senior blood test and would you belive that Romeo has possibly the same things wrong with him as Mike. He has elevated liver tests, possible kidney, theroid (low level) and diabetes. And they said possable cardiomyopathy (spy) I have to take him back to see a specialist to see what is going on. The vet could not belive that he has the same things wrong with him that Mike has. This is the strangest thing I have every heard of.The vet said those are some of the things that he could have with the results of the blood tests. He goes next week to get to the bottom of this.My poor baby. He seems okay but a little lazy sometimes. I will keep you posted on Romeo as well as Mike.Thank you all so much. Brenda and Mike
