I came on here tonight intending to post what has been going on for the past two days and then give God glory for once again answering prayer on our behalf. Imagine my surprise when I see that there is already a thread started asking for prayers for Walt. Thank you, Tina!! This is what a real family is, folks! You all are the absolute greatest!! I know I've said it before. But I will shout it from the highest mountain and still not be able to make it known to enough people
So here's the latest : WALT IS HOME!! They did every heart test that you can think of short of a heart cath (which they want to avoid unless absolutely necessary because his aorta is still dissected the entire length). All of them came back negative.
Then they checked for blood clots in his lungs and legs. None there.
The one thing they did find is that his thyroid level is pretty far off. But all they're doing is changing the time of day that he takes his thyroid medication. (by the way, for those of you who take thyroid medication, one thing we learned tonight is that the medication MUST be taken on an empty stomach and the stomach has to remain empty for at least 1/2 hour after taking it. And NO milk or dairy within a few hours of taking thyroid meds.)
So overall, what they decided is that this was skeletal/muscular in nature. But they were emphatic with us that we did the right thing in going to the ER when he had the chest pain, even tho it didn't turn out to be anything. And they stressed to Walt that any time he feels chest pains in the future he should NEVER hesitate to come in to the ER because of his history.
So once again we are thanking God and giving HIM all honor and all glory. He is soooooooooo good!!!
