He returned to Houston and was admitted to hospital several times. After several “code blues”, years of seeking a diagnosis and dozens of specialists, he was told he had a rare disorder called dysautonomia.     Hits keep coming as pregnant wife diagnosed with advanced cancer     The discovery that allowed him to be treated and lift his mental limits could not have come sooner.
