Abbey's cardiologist appointment

It actually happened BEFORE Grace's tube surgery - but I had no time to get these pics posted!

Here she is getting her EKG. This is one of those shots I have always wanted - this time I remembered!

It just so happens that it is my Aunt Aggi hooking her all up! The very first time we went into emergency with this issue - she was the one who came in to do this test. She has done every EKG for Abbey now - mostly just by 'chance'.



She actually does pretty well with them - she sits quite still considering she is a 3 month old baby who has NO interest in sitting still! She wants to kick! To move, to squirm!

But she is pretty patient about the process. She even gave my Aunt a few smiles!

The cardiologist again was very reassuring me. He reminded me that in the worst case scenario there is a cure for this by surgery when she is 3 or 4. I have to remember that. Although it would still be awful trying to take a 2 year old to the hospital to have an IV inserted - and then to watch them give her adenosine. Anyway - we still have lots of time to hope that she will grow out of this in the next few months and that extra pathway will die off! Also - it is not genetic, so the likelihood of having another child with SVT (if we decide to have any more children) is very small. Not even small but ridiculously small. Practically unthinkable he said!

He also gave us a schedule to increase her medication and assured me that there ARE other things she can take if this medication still doesn't prevent 'breakthrough episodes'. So that was good to hear as well!

Anyway, I just wanted to share these pics! Thanks for praying!
