Ben's tests went great today!!
Many have been following my son Ben's story and know he was in for a procedure today at UCLA Medical Center. I want to let you-all - it went great. They did not find a hole or any other problem while viewing his heart. Doctors said it looked great and strong! Ben was a total sport dealing with the day and the news was really great news. Wish we had a probable cause for the heart attack, but really glad surgery looks like it is not an issue at all!
Thanks for your posts, emails and prayers this past week. Ben will have some more tests over the next 2 weeks, but good news today!!
Thanks again,
Greg Vail Sax

Greg,
That is wonderful news about your son and I will bet it is a great relief for you.
By the way, you are looking mahvelous in your picture. I noticed the smile and........ I detect a sparkle in your eyes! I could be wrong but, it looks like the clouds are lifting.
May the days ahead be happy and healthy for you and your family.
