John was released from the hospital today. The echo cardiogram was fine. The cardiologist wants to bring him in to do a nuclear stress test as soon as they can schedule it. They were thinking of doing a heart catherization but so far that is on hold since the echo was good. His family doctor is saying that as far as she knows, when John gets hot or stressed normally his ventricle (sp) vessels are suppose to open and release more blood flow to maintain or cool you down but with the medication John is taking the vessels aren't working they way they are suppose to. She said there isn't much he can do about it except when he starts feeling that way to sit down and try to relax for awhile until he starts feeling better.
They did tell him to start taking an aspirin a day and a cholesterol pill I think he said it was zocor. that puts him up to 6 pills a day now. So I guess in the next two weeks he will have a few more doctor visits and follow ups, then maybe he will know what the score is.

Is it ever going to end??
I'm beginning to think not.
John is back at the hospital today. He went in last night because his chest was hurting and he kept getting dizzy, they admitted him last night and are checking to see if he has a blockage. So now we are waiting for the cardiologist and being a holiday weekend who knows how long that will take to figure anything out. I am about ready to pull my hair out.
He went to the hospital almost 2 weeks ago for the same symptoms and they did nothing, he went to his family doctor the next day and all she did was give him a cat scan of his head. What that had to do with his heart I do not know. But every time John had went there in the last year and complained about anything they would act like it was all in his head because of the heart surgery. Even wanted him to go to a therapist. Well he said that he know he did feel right and has been worried about it for awhile now. Well I guess the doctors can finally say oh my must not be all in his head after all. UGH!!! just makes me so mad!
When we get more information I'll post it.

mothers day
I hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day.
Mine was ok. Bridey wrote a poem for me. John fixed breakfast for me then had to go off to work and didn't get home until 9pm. But it was okay I so didn't feel like doing anything. I stayed home with a major toothache all day. I have actually had the toothache for a week now but it is feeling a little better today. I am trying my best to put off going to the dentist.
I do feel bad about not going to my mom's though. I just didn't feel like even getting out of bed let alone going anywhere so all I did was watch the kids and Lifetime Movie network all day.
Considering how bad my whole head was hurting....it wasn't a bad day.

A little worried
Well Last Monday night John was coming home from work, 15 after 11pm is the time he is normally home by. At 25 after he still wasn't home, I didn't think much of it, thought maybe he got hung up or was talking to the other custodians or something. Well 11:30 the phone rings.
It is the police........He tells me John got sick on the way home and and pulled over to get some air and to compose himself, he was having trouble breathing. He passed out and a passerby flagged down the police. Who called 911 and got the EMT's out there to look at him. Well they took him to the hospital and ran all sorts of tests. His blood pressure was to high, his white blood count was high and he had an irregular EKG.
He went to see his doctor the next day and she sent him for a cat scan, which turned out fine, but says something isn't right so they did lots of blood tests which we are waiting to hear about. So we have been sitting here this last week wondering what the heck is going on with John and his health.

WHOO HOOO
I am so excited! John got the contract for the rest of the year at mineral wells school. He went this morning to sign the contract. yippey!!
The lady he has been filling in for isn't coming back this year so he will be there until the middle of the summer and depending on if she decides to come back next year or not maybe all summer. They can't post it permanently since she hasn't made up her mind yet but at least he now knows he doesn't have to wonder every day if he will be working there or somewhere else until the end of the contract year. If she decides so not come back they will post it and he will be there until someone with more seniority wants it or until they decide to let him have it. The ladder would be best but not likely since he had only been with the school board for a few months. AH but we can hope. lol

It was worse
It was even worse than I thought the track meet was going to be last Monday. So cold and rainy!! UGH! Thank goodness nobody seems to have gotten sick from it! Bridey is on the relay team and they did pretty good.... well at least 3 of the 4 girls did.
The first leg girl was great, she is the fastest on the team and had them at a pretty good lead by the time she handed off to the second leg, which was Bridey. She kept them in the lead until she handed off to the 3rd leg, who was so slow that by the time she handed off to the 4Th leg they were in last place! The 4Th leg girl tried her best and finished in 5Th place. I was very proud of Bridey. She was very good and so happy that she did good that she talked non-stop about it all the way home......called her dad at work and told him and was still talking about it the next day. lol
They had a second meet on Thursday of this last week and did good the relay team still didn't place but was okay. The weather was like night and day from Monday to Thursday. John took the evening off work to watch the meet on Thursday since he has hardly seen Bridey since he works from 3pm till 11pm and she was so excited about the first meet that he just had to see it.
I am upset about not getting to take any pictures. I didn't have enough hands the first time trying to hold Jake and an umbrella. The second meet Jake had fallen asleep on me before Bridey ran so I couldn't get up and take any then either.
