Griffin's bloodwork finally came back. His proBNP level is 1379. Normal is 0-100. They are going to take an xray of his chest to make sure there is no fluid in his lungs. If clear, they are going to proceed with local anesthesia to remove the mass. She thought about waiting to get the lesion off, but then decided it really does need to be removed.. so local anesthesia is what she suggested. this is just not good. =(
