For everyone who has been asking what happened to me here it goes.
On the way home from a trip to Minnesota to deliver a puppy Caitlyn wanted to stop in Arkansas at devil's den state park and do some hiking. About half way through the hike not far from the first devil's den cave I had the most excruciating stabbing pain come across the left side of my chest. I'm talking about pain that knocked me to my knees. Instantly vision was gone and I was unable to breath. Luckily there was a small tree right next to me that I was able to grab onto. My husband and daughter helped me to a nearby rock so I could sit down. Once I sat down I began needing to throw up. My husband decided he would make the quarter of a mile hike back down to the rangers station for help leaving me and Caitlyn behind due to the fact we had no service to even call 911. About 5 minutes after he left I lost consciousness and took a tumble down some rocks striking my head on a sharp rock. From that point on I was in an out of consciousness and unaware of where I was or what had happened. A family that was hiking including a nurse stopped and stayed with us until my husband arrived with a park ranger. And ambulance was then put in route. Paramedics and park rangers arrived from everywhere. I was still unconscious at this point. These wonderful men then put me in a neck brace and on a backboard and carried me the 1/4 mile back down. I was still unconscious at this point. I was then taken by ambulance to a field where air me was waiting. They airlifted me to Washington Regional in Fayetteville Arkansas. Thankfully no broken bones but I was really banged up. They begin to check into the cause of these chest pains. My ekg in the er was abnormal so I was admitted immediately. I've had an ultrasound of the heart and a nuclear stress test. Imagines then showed something was definitely wrong with my heart. Still unclear as to what exactly I will have a cath performed this afternoon and we will then go from there. If it is something that they can fix right then they will do so. If not we will talk and see what options I have.
Thank you all for your prayers they're greatly appreciated.
