And the Doctor's Say...

Yes, I’m out of the hospital, they released me late last Friday night. So after three days on the cardiac floor, 2 CAT examines, heart sonogram, heart stress test, 4 EKG’s, multiple blood draws, endoscopy, a 24 hour heart monitor and consultations with the neurologist, cardiologist and gastrologist they came to a conclusion.

I have esophagitis with a little hernia at the union of my stomach and esophagus which is preventing the stomach from closing all the way and allowing acid to go up into my esophagus. I have meds for 3months and a very strict diet to follow for a month. They also found that the cartilage around my ribs on the left side is inflamed, causing more discomfort. Unrelated to the pain they found out that my C2-C7 vertebrates (all the ones in my neck) are showing early beginning signs of deterioration and arthritis. The numbing, the neurologist believes is a physical response from stress. I go back to my doctor next Friday for a follow up.

Thank you to everyone for all your prayers. Thank you. The good thing also is that now I have paid my $1000 insurance deductible and so they covered 100% of the rest! Praise God! And God has provided me for me half of the deductible through a gracious donor. Praise God. He’s awesome. Thanks again for your prayers!
