Gavin hospitalization update: 7/13/2012 (11am)

July 13, 2012

I spoke with Lizze this morning and things have changed a bit for Gavin. He had another bout with chest pain last night.  Akron Children's Hospital has wisely decided to treat Gavin as a cardiac patient.  Until they can confirm that nothing is wrong,  they are going to treat him as though something is.

The cardiologist came in today and explained to Lizze that Gavin's 12 lead EKG was abnormal.

He said that it could simply be that because Gavin's heart is in the center of his chest,  it through the EKG off hut he's going to compare it to Gavin's previous EKG's to make sure.

At this point,  Gavin is resting and being monitored for seizures.

Gavin is also being worked up for something called Marfan Syndrome.  This is a rare disorder of the connective tissue. Gavin's doctors have been concerned about this for a little while now but it hasn't been as big a concern,  only because he had more immediate things to worry about.

Not very familiar with Marfan Syndrome,  but I know it's not a good thing.

Right now,  Lizze is waiting for Gastro to visit to discuss Gavin problems with swallowing his food or drinks.

That's all I know at the moment.   Right now I have 2 very hyper kids at home giving me a ride for my money.  My plan is to maybe try and take the boys to a movie later on.  I'm waiting for the mail, and hoping my paycheck shows up today.  If it doesn't,  than we aren't going anywhere.

Please continue to keep Gavin in your thoughts and prayers.  I will keep you all updated as I myself get updated.
