Health

So just as I was going to get dressed to go to the gym last night my brother called and wanted me to go to the hospital with him. He has a huge phobia of hospitals, doctors, surgery etc. Seriously he can't even walk into a hospital without getting anxiety. Well he has been having issues with his heart just racing so a month ago he went to emerg and got checked out. They gave him a prescription for this heart monitor he would have to wear for 24 hours. Well he went and asked for it twice and they kept telling him they would call him when one was available. No one called him. On Jan 3rd he called the place that was giving out the monitors and they told him to come right in. It was a month later. So ridiculous. Anyways he wore it for 24 hours and returned it. Then the day after he returned it (yesterday) they called him and told him to come into the hospital ASAP and if he felt ok he could drive himself, if not, then he should call an ambulance. Well he felt fine but he called me so I packed up G and we went and picked him up. I was slightly scared cuz they made it sound super serious. We went in to emerg and they admitted him and then we sat in the waiting room and waited.......and waited........and waited. J came and picked up G on his way home from work. At 8:15 I called my mom and told her she would have to come so I could go home and sleep. My brother finally got called in at 8:37 after we had been there for 4 hours. If this had been serious like they made it seem, he shouldn't have waited that long to get in.
Anyways to make a long story short, he had to stay overnight. They did an ultrasound on his heart, a stress test and some blood tests. The doctor wanted to keep him for another 5 days but my brother didn't want to stay so he signed himself out and he will see that cardiologist as an outpatient. On the stress test they found a blockage but it didn't show up on any other tests, so they are going to do some more tests. My brother has been told to take it easy and not do anything stressful. Hopefully he follows that.

Tonight I will be going to the gym to do night two of the couch to 5k. I hope it goes ok!!!

Another exciting thing is G has a tooth starting to come through!! I am so excited about this!

I also signed up to take baby & me water workout with my friend M and her little boy S. We are going to take G swimming tomorrow so hopefully he likes it!! Otherwise I am out a hundred bucks!! I am also meeting with a pastor this weekend to get G's baptism planned. We are going to do it on the long weekend in Feb. My cousin B is going to be his godmother and J's brother M is going to be his godfather.

Thats about all that is going on in my life now. Going to go have dinner now!!
