HEART ISSUE?

Hmmm...not sure what to make of this evening. Max's heart rate has been quite low and irregular. So around midnight they did an EKG on his heart and there appeared to be some irregularity and they are going to consult with cardiology in the morning. I don't think this is anything to be TOO concerned with, but I'm really not sure. We'll wait and see what the cardiologist says. Everyone keeps asking me what the plan is for his heart...many are surprised the VSD has not already been repaired. Part of me would love to go ahead and get it fixed and hopefully eliminate some of his issues, but an open heart surgery on such a small, fragile guy might not be for the best.

Hopefully soon I can relax and head to bed...it's getting late. Tomorrow will be a busy day with many hefty discussions. In addition to the more pressing issues regarding his heart and lung status, I will also be meeting with ENT to discuss the results of the CT scan.

Wow, you have been on a roller coster this weekend. When I read about the people coming in a praying for Max, I had to stop and take a little cry break at my desk. It's amazing what total strangers can do for us. It makes me realize there are some great, great people in this world. I say little prayers for Max and you each day (several times a day). I will keeping doing so. Every little bit helps! I can not say this enough, you amaze me. You are such a great mother, Max is so proud to have you be his mommy.

Love
Rebecca
