I am at work so this is the quick version. We had tests scheduled for Feb. 6th for neurological problems. The doctor moved the date up to Jan. 30, but we did not make it that far.
Yesterday, Zachary had a 'cardiac episode' at school. He was with his PT when they noticed the full body muscle tremors. When checked he had a heart rate of 192 and blood pressure of 145 over 85. Not good! I got him to the doctors office, doctor wanted him there. It was great luck. The doctor I had wanted him to see, but the nurse had refused Zach due to the docotr having too many patients, was the one who wanted to see Zach due to the emergency situation. He looked at Zach and promptly took him as a patient. He said Zach is very ill. Within a half an hour he knew what Zach was(mostly) suffering with. It is called Grave's Disease. Zach is fairly far along. It is serious, but TREATABLE, not curable. Zach's heart appears to have suffered no permenant damage. I'll get back with more later.
