Pericarditis

Well...we are on other adventure. On Thursday morning Michael called and let me know that he was having some chest pains and I told him to get an appointment...long story short, he went to the doctor, got an EKG and chest x-ray, spent 5 hours in the ER and then finally admitted to the hospital around 6pm on Thursday night. We got out Friday around 4:30pm. WHEW! After so many tests we found out that he has Pericarditis, which is an inflammation or viral infection of the sac of the heart. So we have been taking it easy and trying to keep Michael from doing to much. There shouldn't be any long term affects from this so that is a positive but still really scary when you are told there is something wrong around your heart. Most cases last about three weeks. Since Michael has been having chest pains since Sunday (and didn't tell me!!!) he is about a week in. Hopefully he recovers fast. Again we are completely lucky to have such amazing people around us to make sure that Finnean was taken care of! Thank you Marcia and the Murphys!!

Yesterday I took him out for a drive. He said he felt like a really old person and I was his volunteer that was getting him out of the house :) The good thing is on our drive we found some buffalo.

Finnean loved the buffalo but hated leaving them. He cried and cried!!
