Glad for the update; thanks Cynay.
I'm glad your news was encouraging,Mike. Better behave yourself...I'd hate to think of the comotion all of us codies here might have if you didn't!
haha
Really....hope you take advantage of this chance to rest and recuperate! Hope you will be feeling lots better very soon!

unfortunally this is not going to be the last time he has a "cardiac events"
And what we have today is Mikey resting comfortably in his bed, recovering nicely, and surrounded by plenty of folks who love him.

Hey Mike! Just spoke with Cynay on her cell phone but lost her on the 202 - bad cell zone. I'm praying for you. I believe in miracles. I wouldn't believe it unless I had seen it with my own eyes. I love you and I know your higher power loves you. I'm going to keep praying that God's will be done, but I'm tossing in a HUGE request that we have you with us for a LONG time.

Good Morning....
Well Last night was a good night for Mike, well as far as I could tell. He only had to take 1/4 of the pill to get to sleep last night and before the pill he sounded really good. Tired of course but alot more alert and alot less pain.
He has an appointment this Morning with another Doctor and I guess there is a panal of 7 of them that will meet and discuss his condition and what further tests/medicines should be adjusted so I will know more about that later this morning and will let you all know. So far so good..
Thanks for all the posts and prayers... he really enjoys when I read them to him and personality I think it lifts his spirits.... I know it helps that he knows how loved he is.

Well just heard from our favorite veggi.......
It looks like our Mike will have to go in on Monday for some more tests... They are pretty sure from the tests so far that he has Mital Valve Prolapse...
The Doctors want to do a Eco Cardiogram which is more tests to look at the valve.... what that means is they will have to raise his heart rate to see how it performs when its working hard, then they can look at the valve and make a decision about how bad it is. Apparently this was not there last year when he had the test so it is a new developement over the last year. Also they found that there is Mechanical damage to the heart... last year they found a patch of dead muscel in the heart and they would also like to see if that has grown at all.
Unfortunally because his heart is already weak this could mean some hospital time for him after the tests... They have him on his normal Meds for now and he will just be resting for the tests on Monday.
Today he is just tired from his adventures at the doctors and is resting right now... he is very use to these tests so he does not seem too concerned... and seems to be in a good spirits.

(((Mike))) sounds as if you are in good hands! My son has heart problems/surgery and it is amazing the new procedures,equipment,etc. that keep coming along (at least to my mind). Sounds like your team of doctors is on top of things. Glad you are in an area that you have that.
Hope you are feeling better and obeying orders and getting some rest! I know forced rest when you have concerns like this isn't as easy and relaxing as it sounds....BTDT.
Know that there is a lot of love out here for you and many,many people are keeping you in their prayers...I am one of them.
Cynay: what a great friend you are. Thanks for keeping us all up to speed. (Hope you are getting some rest,yourself!)
