Apparently James was born with his aorta too close to the outer walls of the lobes of his heart (I hope I understood this right when James explained it). He has had a problem all his life if he gets too excited his chest starts hurting. The reason is when he gets excited the lobes of his heart start to put too much pressure on his aorta and that causes the pain. Well, he got sooooooo excited watching the Auburn vs LSU football game that the lobes put extreme pressure on his aorta causing him to have trouble breathing. The good news is there is apparently NO damage to his heart muscle!!! He is supposed to be released from the hospital tomorrow. He was in a regular room today after the tests. His cell phone battery went dead before I could call him and he couldn't remember my number. I finally called the Information desk and found out he was in a regular room. I told him everyone sent their thoughts, prayers and best wishes and he said he really appreciated them!! Hopefully, sometime tomorrow he will be able to get back on the forum and thank all of you himself!! I hope all of you the best and I hope you get to go 'tectin' !!!
