Birthday Panic

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is Adam's 28th birthday. Wow, he is getting old! He realized that he's now safely in the "late 20's" phase of life. Soon he will cross the bridge to 30. Oh, how time flies.

Poor Adam. This birthday has been anything but great. The day started well, however it soon took a u-turn into crapville. Let me start by saying that yesterday he attempted to go to work but had to come back home due to a terrible migraine-ish headache. He has never had a migraine before, but he thought it could have very well been one. Then today, out to work he headed again. He sat at his desk and quickly realized something was wrong. He was terribly shaky and dizzy. He had shortness of breath and butterflies in his stomach. Weird for Adam. So he headed back home and made a doctor's appointment. Major bummer to go to the doctor on your birthday. The doc said it appears he had a panic attack. He had high blood pressure as well. Blood was taken for analysis and he will come back soon for a CT scan to test for a brain aneurysm. What? Yikes! Is this really happening?

Adam is normally a pretty laid back guy. So this is odd. Perhaps work is the cause of the anxiety. Adam's job can be very stressful with the pressure of sales goals, especially in a recessive economy. And all this happened when he was going to work. He is quite calm now. However, his "happy pill" as prescribed by the doctor is surely contributing to his blissful state. I am playing nurse and making sure he is ok.

Poor Adam :(

I'll pray for him too. Did they give him a pregnancy test?
