Cardiologist

We met with the Cardiologist today and he said we only have to give her the heart medication 3 times a day. No more waking her in the middle of the night (she slept 11-12 hrs before I had to start waking her to take her meds). He also said that around 8 months of age, she will go off her medicine, get an EKG and see if the SVT is recurrent. 1 out of 3 times, it does recur (and she may have a higher likely hood of it recurring since it did already from when she was in-utero). Otherwise, it may occur around 7-8 years of age. At that time, she can handle the episodes herself with various techniques.

The picture above is of my son, Kyler checking Avery's heart ;-) He said "Don't worry mama, she's all better"!!! He is such a great big brother.
