It is a rather long story, but Isaac is back on Digoxin. We are actually relieved. This medication works- this we know! I was never sure about the Atenolol and while he is still on both medications, I just feel better now that he is on the Digoxin again.

We received a call from the cardiologist last week saying they wanted to get another 24 hour Holter monitor on him, so we did it last week Thursday through Friday. He had 3 episodes of tachycardia, one of which lasted 4 hours and we didn’t even know it! He was playing and carrying on as normal. The one thing that was different was that it took him a half hour to settle down in his bed that night. He came out and wanted me, so I went back in and held him for a little while and put him back down. The tachycardia lasted another 1/2 hour beyond me putting him down again. I keep saying that this kid needs an instruction book- I just never know what is going on with him until hours later.

He told me tonight “Pay, Mommy.” I said, “No, it isn’t time to play. It is bed time.” He said it again, “Pay, Mommy.” Again I said, “No, go to bed now.” Then he said, “Dear Jesus.” Hah! He wanted me to PRAY not PLAY!
