Trip to ER for SVT Episode & Ear Infection

Yesterday, Avery seemed a little off. I called her surgeons who explained that there are "good days & bad days". All night she was irritable and not sleeping well. I figured is was a bad day. At 7 am, I decided to check her heart. Sure enough it was over 200 beats per minute - she was in SVT. She was likely in it (on & off) since yesterday. We applied ice to her face and took her to the ER.

Once we got there, her SVT had subsided due to the ice pack. They also discovered she had what looked like an ear infection starting. We were sent home with instructions to make an appointment with our Pediatrician on Monday to check the ear infection. Also, the Cardiologist will likely call us tomorrow to bring Avery in to see if we need to change her heart medication to control the SVT.

Poor Avery has been through so much already this week, and now has to deal with her heart acting up ;-( The doctors assured me her heart acting up is purely coincidental and not due to the affects of having just been through surgery.
