That seems to be the million dollar question. As Shawn's post says, this week's scan did not detect anything. The test is supposed to be accurate 85% of the time, which does still leave us with a bit of uncertainty. There are also some other test results that haven't come back yet, which might help guide us as to what to do next. But at this point Shawn's blood pressure is doing better with the new medication, and the chest pain and shortness of breath are under control, so there seems to be no immediate danger. And of course he wants to be back at school in the worst way...
One new medication is being added to the mix, so he's on three different things; using the alarm on his new iPhone to remind him when to take what.
How do I feel about him going back to school? Certainly happy for him as I know it's where he wants to be, a little relieved that at least for now the dangerous symptoms are under control, and a little scared about how long it's going to take till we really know what is going on.
