After waiting for almost 4 hours, we were finally admitted to the treatment rooms in the ER. Then it was hurry up and wait for a complete blood work up (including cardiac enzymes), EKG, and CT scan.
After falling asleep in the room waiting for results, we woke up and decided to call the nurse and find out what was going on. We were then able to talk to the resident and he told us that everything was looking normal. His blood work looked good, the enzymes showed no signs of heart attack, the EKG looked normal, and the CT scan was negative for any blood clots in his lungs. So, Praise the Lord that everything looked fine!
I did tease Scott that he really didn't know how to show a lady a good time. After all, the downtown ER is NOT the place to take a date on a Friday night... however, the hospital seems to be where we spend our time alone :).
Now the plan is for him to see his oncologist on Wednesday and then we'll go from there. My initial feeling is that they will want to do another cardiac and pulmonary function test to determine where he's at... but I'm just guessing. So, we will wait and see what the oncologist says and then I will let you all know.
Thank you so much for your prayers! We are so grateful that he did not need another hospital stay, or that there was anything serious going on. Please continue to pray that the shortness of breath will be something that will resolve on its own over time. Thanks again. We love you all!
