Health Update
As you all know I have been on roller coaster of emotions with all this health stuff. I went to see a specialist at the Heart Institute and here is what they have found so far. I have a Mildly enlarged right ventricle, Mildly elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure. So they want more tests I will be having a cardiac MRI and more blood tests to rule out RV Dysplasia. They also want to do and EP study with 3-D Cardiac Mapping of the Right Ventricle Valve to access my heart completely. I hope that the MRI shows them whatever they need to know so that I wont have to have the Mapping procedure done. Mapping is done by "fishing" electrodes into my femoral artery (the one in the leg) to my heart and electronically stimulating it to see what it does (fibrillate, beat fast, etc.) I would be semi-under local anesthesia but I don't want that procedure done. Well family and friends keep praying for me and I will keep you updated as to what is going on.

You are always in our thoughts and prayer!! Take it easy and do what needs to be done to get you healthy.
I don't like the sound of any of those tests, but at least they are trying something. Of course we are praying for you. Let me know if you need anything!
