Thanks for all your support, guys! It means so much to me.

Gary and I spent the day in the cardiologist's office - only to find no cause for the difficulty in breathing episodes he had last Thurs and Sat. He had blood work, EKG, echocardiogram, and they looked at his pacemaker readout (he has a computer in his pacemaker that shows every heart beat, so they can see if he has an irregular beats, which he did not).

We did find out that he is a bit dehydrated, which is why he is feeling so dizzy and tired right now. That is good that we know what is causing him to feel that way, and that we can fix it. But he is frustrated that they can't tell him exactly what happened to cause him to suddenly feel like he coudn't breathe. Being in health care, I know that sometimes you just don't know why something happens in the human body, there is no explanation. This seems to be one of those times.

The doctor thinks he will feel much better once we get him re-hydrated! I think so too!
