Many thoughts and prayers coming your way from Indiana. My hubby has had serious heart trouble for almost three years and is going for a heart cath on the 5th. The other tests showed at least two major blockages with decreased blood flow to his heart. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.

TONS of prayers and thoughts and hugs coming your way from us!

bettyeanne · 05-17-2006, 07:08 PM

Thank you all so very much!! Just got home & fed this sad faced baby. They are not through testing to finalize and plan where to go from here. He has an itty bitty hole between two of his heart chambers [birth defect .... we found out several years ago when he had a stroke while we were in Chicago ... it was so tiny and presented no problem and had no lasting effects from the stroke]. A few years later, in Chattanooga, he appeared to be having a heart attack ... they took him in to do a heart cath and were prepared to go ahead and put in a stint [they were so certain that it was needed] ... it was not and he has been fine. Then this February it happened again here in CO ... they diagnosed it as esophageal spasm. Today, as we were getting ready to leave for a much needed little mini vacation to Denver for a few days and the Yorkie meetup on Sunday, it happened again! Since the symptoms are the same as a heart attack, we had been instructed to go straight to the ER if it happened. Thank God we went because it is his heart and their early conconclusion is that a blood clot slipped through the little hole and instead of a stroke like in Chicago, the clot went to his lung. They also think that this is what happened in February and the esophageal spasm was misdiagnosed!! I just kept thinking ... I could have lost him!! I am just praying that these new doctors are as good as they appear and that the tests they do in the morning will give them correct answers and they can fix this!! He is feeling so much better and just wants to come home!!

Please pray for these doctors ... Patrick is my best friend, I just feel so lost. I am so thankful for you all ... you feel like family and you make me so feel so much better ... thank you so much for caring! Sorry this is so long, I will update you tomorrow after I meet with the cardiologist.

Oscar's Mom · 05-17-2006, 07:16 PM

Bettyeanne, it sounds like he has the best cardiologists and God on his side! I am sure he will be fine! Thanks for keeping us posted and you be sure and take care of yourself and Toto! That little girl needs her mommy in good working order right now! I pray that God will continue to direct the Dr.'s and guide them in a proper diagnoses and treatment of Patrick! I also pray that He will grant you peace at this trying time. (((((HUGS TO YOU)))))

Bettyeanne - Thanks SO MUCH for the update - I was sure thinking of you last night and wow - you've been lucky so far....That must be very scary hearing that and ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND PATRICK ! It sounds like the doctors have a handle on him now and preventing something is the way to go now - BIG sigh of relief !
