Day two: Today we talked to what felt like every doctor on the floor along with a bunch of hospital support people. We found out that it is Dean's left ventricle that is enlarged, which means that the blood was having problems getting to his body. They don't think that it is due to a virus, but they are not ruling it out at this point. They are more sure that it is more of the heart just being weak itself. But, at this point, we have no diagnosis, just theories while we wait for tests to come back. We were also told that when he comes home he will be on meds for quite a long time. This will probably mean that he will never be an athlete, but the limitations for him will depend on what happens, but we are remaining positive at this point. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to us.
