Out of the Hospital...

Wanted to thank you all for the prayers. I was discharged yesterday and officially did NOT have a heart attack. That's good...but what is bad is that they still don't know what is wrong with me. I have been short of breath and fatigued. And I had some strange test results. Have to go see a lung doctor and an infectious disease specialist and have a exercise stress test too...could be many things...including that I possibly contracted something weird in Guatemala.

But I'm home and the baby did OK in my absence. He is quite clingy today as expected. Our first few weeks home have been hard with his surgery and my illness.

Thanks again for all your prayers! Hope all is going well with all of you and that your processes are moving along quickly!
