Day 1 Of Testing

Hello Everybody! We just finished the first day of testing. All went well. Mayo is truly like know other. It is beautiful and runs like a well oiled machine. Everything is on time and everyone there is so helpful. We had one test at ST. Marys and they had a historical room that showed about the hospitals start, first operating table, and surgical instruments (scary!!). The hospital is over 100 years old! Dewayne had the longest echo he's ever had . It took an hour and a half. We go to the cardiologist tomorrow morning at 10:30. One test after that and then consult with the surgeon at 2:30. We will update you as soon as we get all the details.
I want you to know we can feel your prayers and we love you all very much. Thank you so much for all the cards it is very nice to be able to read them and feel a little closer to home. We are reading cards right now. Again thank you so much for your love and prayers.

Dewayne & Teresa,
So glad to hear you guys had a good day. Isn't it wonderful to experience the expertise of a HCM specialty center; The difference is just amazing! I've begun my copying and pasting duty onto the HCMA website. We'll be checking in on you often. Our prayers continue.

Be sure to check out the historical rooms on the second floor of the Plummer building at Mayo. The building itself is quite old and impressive, and there is lots of info on the Mayo family in those 2 or 3 small rooms. Very interesting if you like that historical stuff.

Best of luck to you today as you meet with some of the best HCM doctors in the world.

For more sightseeing stuff that is cool, check out the medical museum exhibit in the lobby of the Gonda Building and the Chihuly glass and other art all over the Mayo and Gonda Buildings. There is a catalog at the info. desk you can get and you can go see all of the art at your own speed.

Give my best to Drs. D. and O. You are in great hands over there!
