Thank You For the Prayers

It has been a long day. Our appointment with the cardiologist lasted for almost 3 hours. He did an EKG, an echocardiogram, and put a 24 hour Holter monitor on Caleigh. The great news is that he didn't see any structural problems with the heart at all--he said her heart was as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. He is a very sweet older man from South Africa and he is VERY thorough. We went from a room where they took her vitals and did the EKG, to an exam room, to an echocardiogram room to a consultation/conference room. They kept offering us drinks etc. so often that Russell decided we couldn't really afford to be there. Pretty fancy in his opinion. Anyway, we will take off the monitor tomorrow and mail it to him, then he will call us. We don't expect any problems, praise God! I think the urgency was due to the number of "PVC's" they saw on the EEG. The EKG today didn't show that many. He wasn't even sure they WERE PVC's, and thought they could be PAC's. He will explain that more in detail if necessary after the Holter monitor. We are also very thankful for God's protective hand tonight as we were leaving SA. We came alarmingly close to having a major accident. I had to stop on I10 and the car behind me evidently wasn't paying attention. I looked in the rearview mirror in time to see that car sliding sideways into the other lane of traffic--I even saw the terrified look on the driver's face. R. and the kids just heard the brakes squealing and they all braced. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Conner isn't feeling well tonight so I am going to feed my family and put them to bed. Love, sb
