Thanks so much to all of you for the concern and the prayers. All we know for sure right now is that his Heart is enlarged. I hope they will know very soon what is wrong to it can be treated(hopefully) Hugs to all, Linda

Thank you so much. This is very scary. Children can come down with the worst diseases at a moments but you never think That things will seem to great one minute and you find out that something is wrond with his heart. The hospiyal did say the he had an enlarged heart and they ran some test and sent him home with a monitor hooked up to his heart. They want him to do things as normal as he can so they can get the proper readings from the moniter. Maybe, if we are lucky, they will know what has caused this by tall the test thay have run. When my DIL finally called me back this afternoon, she was really upset and I could tell by what she didn't say instead of what she did say that she was scared. If it had not been for the strange way that Jayden told everyone that he was hurting, no one may have even paid any attention to a 4 yr. old until it was too late.He is a tough little fellow but he knew that what he was feeling was not right! It has been a very long day today and I only slept 1 hour last night. I am about to call it quits for today. hugs, Linda

My DIL, Her youngest daughter and Jayden have an appointment today 4/20/10, to finally find out what results have been found on the monitor that Jayden had to wear for the few days (starting the day after Easter). I certainly hope it is not as serious as they first thought or he is in DEEP trouble because of the time he has had to wait just for the results from the tests! It seems like an eternity since Easter until today! I just can not believe that it would/could take this much time! If it is serious, he could be gone by now! The test results were done right here in Atlanta where we are supposed to have the best hospitals, labs and doctors in the nation. DUH.... What have they been doing all this time? As to keep my faith in the medical profession, I have to believe that is was not anything very serious.... but should know for sure by later this afternoon. Thanks for the kind words and prayers! This has been a time of worry and prayer for Jayden, his parents, brother, and his grand parents. He may be just my step great grand-son but when our families joined, he became a part of me and my son as well! He will be a part of our family also for as long as we are on this earth but even if it was not family, your hearts always go out to a child in distress or danger. That is just human nature that the Lord gives us to protect all the children. He is a very smart and caring child that has grown up so much since his baby brother came into this world. He came through the Bratty stage into his own personality with the birth of Brayden and goes out of his way to "help" look after his sibling. They are so adorable just to sit back quietly and watch. The hugs and kisses and Nana Linda are just a plus! There are so many grannies, great grannies, great-great grannies and even extra's in the family now... that it was hard to even figure out what to call all of us! One of his great grannies just passed away the 1st week in April and he is still trying to absorb that info at 4 yrs old. It was Gail's first husband's Mom so she has been in the family for a very long time. My DIL was married to her 1st hubby for 26 years. He is a peice of work not to even try to explain! She and my son are happy and they do not (any of them) make any waves when all of the family is together for special events for the daughters and their families. When all of us are together, Gail's Mom and I usually just sit back and watch and listen. Gail's Mom is 81 and in very bad health so I usually stick by her because she can not join in very much. Believe me, this has been a learning experience for me. I raised my son alone from 11 until he left home at 37. It had been just the two of us for a very long time and then he was gone, engaged, and married before I has time to get used to him being gone. He did not meet Gail or marry until he was 41 but it happened almost overnight. They did not even know each other a year before they got married. I just thank the Lord that he had the sense to hang onto her! She is the best thing that ever happened to him! Hugs to all, Linda
