Testing to the Limit

All this week Rhino has some kind of medical testing to go thru. 

To begin with, he’s been having some minor complications with his heart.  At our annual EKG and Echo everything looked the same and we continue to say how blessed we are compared to other heart families, so maybe this is why it’s scarier, because we have been so blessed! (Now I’m not trying to take away from anyone else and I’m not trying to say that our situation is worse etc, etc so please don’t take it like that.)  The cardiologist feels that there might be some underlying problems that aren’t showing up on the “normal” testing so off we go for some extensive testing BUT then again this just might be “growing pains”.

Secondly, as previously mentioned, we head off at the end of the week to see the sub specialists for Rhino’s ankle.  She will be the one that will definitely tell us if/when surgery will ensue.  Rhino and I had a nice long talk about impending surgery, what he would like, what I would like and technically what is.  I’m thinking praying we are as prepared as can be.  I even went to the high school the other day to speak with them as to what mayhems would incur there…..oh this could be a long winter.  But as long as Christian remains as healthy as possible that’s what matters in the long run!! (and may I have a bottle of wine to get me through the long winter, lol!)
