Many of you know that Abbey has been taken off of medication for some tests and we are waiting for her appointment with the cardiologist next week. It is a strange time for me, she has had 2 episodes of tachycardia since we began the weaning of meds this time, they ended up being about 15 days apart. Unfortunately the last one was on Sunday - and the Holter monitor was on her on Monday. I don't know if it would have helped to have it happen when the monitor was on, but I imagine it would - just so the doctors could see if there was anything that was happening prior to her tripping over into tachy...I don't know. We'll have to wait until next Thursday to find out if she will go back on medication or stay off. I think I would rather have her on meds if it would be likely to happen that often. Once every 15 days is a lot - to me anyway.
Here are a few pics...







Isn't she a nut? That is her new favorite thing - to brush her teeth! What a crazy kid! The little strap that you can see when she is dressed in her pink dress held the actual recording part of the monitor. She just wore it like a little purse, and we just put it inside her pajamas overnight so she didn't get wrapped up in the cords or anything! She is too funny...anyway, I have pictures from Agribition too - but it is time for bed now! Night!

Sorry to hear that she's still getting tachycardia ... I would feel the same way as you regarding meds ... it is scary to go through the attacks! Wow, she's still smiling through it all, hey .. what a cutie!
