But sometimes late at night, there is this lump in my throat and ache in my heart that just won't go away.....
Thanks for all your thoughts and input.

I believe the only way to determine if things are getting worse ( progrssing as you put it) is with a BMB .When was his last test done? Possibly it is time to repeat it to get some definite answers.
