We had an exciting/scary night last night...about 9 we were at Wal-mart and Paul said "you wouldn't hurt right here on your shoulder (left) if you were having a heart attack would you?"...um yes you would! Then he was having a pain like he had never had before and his left arm & hand were tingly. So I immediately told him that we were going to the hospital and asked him which one he wanted to go to. We were at Wal-Mart in 2 cars so we all loaded in mine and headed to the hospital that is only 5 mins from the house. A friend came and picked up the girls for me around 10. They did an EKG and bloodwork to check for cardiac enzymes. THANKFULLY they were both OK and the doc said that this did not appear to be a cardiac event then. He said that there are a lot of things that can cause chest pain but also that the bloodwork is not 100% accurate. So he wants him to follow up with his regular doc. Then I told him that we were going to Disney in less than 2 weeks and he told him to follow up with his regular doc on Monday. So he is probably in for a stress test and other things before we go.
I'm sure if someone was listening to us they would have thought we were crazy...here he was in the ER for chest pain, hooked up to a bp cuff, an oxygen saturation monitor and all those contacts on his chest for constant monitoring and we were talking about him riding Rock N Rollecoaster, Test Track, Splash, Big Thunder, Space...etc.
For all of you that pray please pray for him...it really scared both of us and our girls!
Yikes! I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Sounds like a tough night. Please let us know what his doctor says. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
