Hello all, This is Andy's bro letting you all know that Andy had a minor set back. He had some leakage in his heart that leaked into the sack around his heart. It was compressing his heart and he got very sick. A trip to the emergency room revealed this and they drained 1250 cc out of the sack. He is feeling much better however they are keeping him in the hospital as he had an episode after they took him off the blood thinners. He momentarily lost his vision on a walk he was taking. They attributed to a blood clot. They were trying to let the blood thicken to stop the leak. They have again started him on some blood thinner last night and will see if they made any progress. If this doesn't work they will have to go back in and repair. Andy wanted me to contact you all and let you know he is thinking of you and thanks you for the support. Sorry about the slang terminology I couldn't remember all the names of the medications and technical names. Andy's Bro.
