one more thing before I go to bed.

Jacks IV blew so they are putting a new one in. Melissa said he was acting like it really hurt him.

anyway, thanks again for the prayer.

It was very traumatic for Melissa and I. there were eight people working on him, IV, 10 lead EKG lines, and a crying tiny baby on a table that we couldnt help.

to bring him out of the SVT, they have to place a bag of ice water on his face for, well I dont know how long. it seemed like an eternity. It took 2 attempts of that to get his heart rythem to come back. each time he screamed and we cried.

he hasnt eaten since 4 pm today and he is really hungry and cannot eat until the Dr. sees him tomorrow. that is just brutal.


please keep us in your prayers. its been a tuff night. for Melissa, it will be very long.

thanks.

Ferd,

Thanks for the update. I can't imagine. I know how bad it hurts when our kids are hurting and especially when we are helpless to make the situation better.

I will be praying ont only for Jack but for you and Melissa as well. Be sure and tell Melissa we are holding her up in prayer.

If it's any help to you at all the fluids they are giving him should be sustaining him nutritionally.

Still praying!

yea, but when the little guy is whining and crying and smaking his lips, mommy and daddy dont really care about that.

right now he is quiet so that is a blessing.

Ferd, I came on here first thing this morning hoping to see a good report. I'm so glad that Jack is doing better, even if the poor little fella is hungry :(

Continuing to pray here for Jack, as well as for Melissa and for you.

Is this something you will have to deal with for all of Jack's life or will he eventually outgrow it?

about 80% of babies grow out of it by age 1

those that dont can have a procedure at age 4 where they go into the heart and distroy the bad electrical pathway that causes this.

the doctor called that a cure. so long term the outlook is execelent. in the meantime, its pretty rough.
