Lee is okay; just some bumps in his road.

This is a pic I got of Lee with Bryce last Saturday when we were visiting.  Lee had to take off his glasses to keep from tempting Bryce.  He can see pretty well without them; he just wears them so they'll be there when he needs to read.  Anyway, this picture is just another sample of the fun we had on Saturday.

Today we went to the City for an appointment with Lee's cardiologist.  He thinks Lee is doing very well, but he wants to run some additional tests over the next 3 weeks or so.  He'll do a fasting stress test and some blood work.  Then he wants Lee to see a Gastroenterologist, too.  Lee doesn't drink hardly any water, so he thinks Lee is dehydrated and advised us to get him some Powerade Zero to drink . We'll do all that (the Powerade is in the fridge cooling, now; he couldn't consider having it over ice).  Lee is one of those guys who would like a pill to fix his issues (dizzy spells), so this is not what he wanted to hear.  I reminded him that it could be a LOT worse!  He could have told me to take him directly to the hospital for some emergency surgery like they did when he needed the quadruple bypass!  So, he'll have to adjust to some lifestyle changes, like drinking water and/or Powerade, but he'll be okay.  We'll do the other tests, but I think we've hit on his problem of dizzy spells.  I thank God that it's not a worse problem and ask Him to help Lee to make the adjustments he needs.
