Ray's hospital stay

I just want to clarify what happened this weekend. I was out of town visiting Ray & Brandie and taking Ryan to dental appt on Monday in Redlands I had Cam & Faith with me (we all had a 4 day weekend).Ray worked in the yard and around the house all day Sat. During the night Sat., he felt "weird" and said he was hot all night. When he got up Sunday to get ready for church, he felt extremely dizzy and weak. When he called me he said he he felt dizzy and that his legs felt heavy. Amy had just left for work, so he took himself to the ER. They hooked him up to the EKG and saw some peaks in the line, which meant there has definitely been some heart activity. They said they thought he had a mild heart attack but could not determine if it was just that morning or before that. (I mentioned in a previous post about one of these dizzy spells a few weeks ago) They determined that he should be admitted and monitored for at least 24 hours. He felt fine after that and the monitor showed normal activity. His regular doctor (Lucero) visited him yesterday afternoon and his determination is that it was not his heart but possibly his ear (middle ear infection?) He did not give him any medication and just told him to check back in 5 days. So, your guess is as good as ours as to what really happened. But Ray has decided to find another doctor out of town and go for a full physical. I will keep you posted with any news.
