My baby's heart :o( I had a phone call today from my baby daughter (Elsa)'s cardiologist. Elsa was taken into hospital with a UTI in October, whilst there though they found that she has a heart condition. They transferred her care to a specialist children's hospital where they put her on a mobile ECG machine, first for 2 days, then for a week. Well, they got the results today and it's worse than they orginally thought. She has runs of SVT's (put simply, it means that her heart will spontaneously beat WAY too fast) and she also has ventricular couplets (where her heart will kind of beat twice in one beat... or something like that - I daren't google).
Well, today they found that she's having them a lot more regularly than we originally thought... she's been having runs where her heart is beating at around 270 beats per minute - that's 4 and a half beats per SECOND!!! Luckily she comes out of them herself, but they've put her on a drug called Digoxin. It's not good but they did a heart function test a few weeks ago and it's looking ok from that angle - they just don't want her to be in an SVT for any length of time or her heart could get too tired and she'd go into cardiac failure. Yeah. So. It's not great. But it could be a lot worse. I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

Sorry to hear about that MrsGoodnight.
It must be tough to not be able to help her. I hope that you and your precious baby girl will pull through this.  | |

I hope you'll both get through this and be well. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

Aawww thanks for the messages of support, I really appreciate it.
The poor little thing is on antibiotics for a chest infection too! I hate to see her like this but she's still a happy, smiley little thing! I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

It's so hard when it's a little one that is going through such things.
It makes you appreciate every second you have with them. You are in our prayers. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss
