After a harrowing Easter weekend, I\u2019m home tonight and doing well.
\nWe believe I had a \u201cRebound\u201d\u2013when one moves from one type of blood pressure medicine to another, the body may freak out and the BP goes throught the roof. This is very dangerous, especially for someone like myself with an aorta that is trying to heal\u2026
\nSo the prognosis is this:
\nI\u2019m home on a new set of blood pressure medications, monitoring the BP daily. In 3 months, I go back to the Cleveland Clinic for another echocardiogram to see how I\u2019m doing. In six months they will do a heart catheterization and CT Scan and other tests to see if at that time they will want to replace my aortic valve and perhaps even re-do the aorta replacement (eeeks!).
\nPray that the Lord would heal my heart in such a way that I will not have to have my chest opened up again.
\nResurrection Weekend is all about Jesus Christ\u2013but as one of his followers, I feel that I had yet another mini-resurrection!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
