Quick Update

Our little warrior started having chest pains yesterday at school. He's been complaining of bad head aches and stomach, plus some pain in his left arm. Don't need to remind everyone that those can be symptomatic of something more severe.

We immediately contacted physicians here and in Denver. As of now, he's had since, three blood draws, a battery of tests and visits to two doctors including Children's today. While we are seeing some things that raise our eyebrows, we're cautiously optimistic. We have to wait a few days for the complete results of all the blood tests, but so far everything seems to be within reasonable boundaries.

At very least, he will have to undergo a stress test next week. They may for ego that design and just head straight to a quick cath lab biopsy to be sure about possible rejection issues. We won't know until Thursday or Friday.

Overall, Garrett's been feeling good. He's been playing basketball and even helped take his team to playoffs. But he had to sit out part of the second game with a severe headache again. So for now, we'll just be grateful for our blessings and pray for healing. This is definitely not panic time, but it's never a bad time to keep praying that we don't get there again.

God bless to all,

JD
