Trevor's trip to the ER

Trevor and I were watching a movie when all of sudden he said his chest hurt a little. I asked him to show me where. It was right in the middle of his chest. So of course I got scared and called the Heart Center right away. They told us to come in right away. Either to Children's or the ER, they would call me back with where to go. Since we are so far away from Children's I left immediately with Trevor. Scott stayed home with the girls while Trevor and I started driving to Seattle. The hospital called back and said to go to the ER as they could not squeeze us in for an appt. We got to the hospital around 2. Trevor had his moose and 3 other beanie babies with him plus his leapster :)

They were waiting for Trevor when we got in. Trev was still complaining of chest pain. They did a battery of tests including EKG, echo, chest x-ray. Trevor was a trooper during the whole experience until it came time for the x-ray. He wanted nothing to do with it. He started to freak out. There were four of us holding him down. But we eventually got what we needed. His heart looks great! The device is still where it needs to be which is great. The Doctors said the pain could be from anesthesia where the esophagus had a spasm. Or from his aspirin it could have made his tummy upset. Also, he could have anxiety from his procedure which could cause pain.

Everything turned out great and we finally got home around 7:30. We still do not know the exact cause. But we know it is not his heart or lungs, so that is great news! We are to go right back if he experiences any chest pain again as that is a sign that the device has been dislodged. Thank you everyone for your continued prayers during Trevor's recovery.
