Fear With a Side of Worry

Originally written on May 20, 2008

Annabel has an irregular heartbeat and we met with a pediatric cardiologist today. Not exactly what he had planned for our tiny little baby girl, especially not a week in. Fear has sat heavy upon my chest the entire day.

Our consultation went fine. The echocardiogram looks normal. Annie will need to wear a monitor for 24 hours to monitor the frequency of the irregularity, we send the data box back in and then we wait. That should be fun.





Update: Everything appears to be okay. Annie does have an irregular heartbeat but the doctor seems to think that it is nothing to be too concerned about (ha!). All we will need to do is bring her back in at 1 year to run the tests again. Thank God.
