April's Halter Monitor

Today we went to St. Joseph's to have a halter monitor place.  McKenna wants to have another one to compare this last one too that was done about a month ago.  He will call me with updates on results within about a week or so after the monitor is sent back into him.  I used to hold my breath with things like this BUT I have come to learn that stressing myself out does nothing good for any of us.  So until we have the results .... it is what it is.

Halter Monitor Results

It had been a bit since we mailed back the halter monitor to St. Josephs Hospital and I hadn't heard anything back.  Most people would just take that as it was fine and no need to call.  I'm not like most people, so I called in about it.  The nurse said that things looked okay and that he only threw 4 PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions ) in a 24 hour period which to them isn't something completely concerning with the Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy.  I've included the link in case you wondered what either of those things were.  Trust me before his diagnosis I had no idea what half the things doctor's said meant.  Since the diagnosis I have schooled myself and tried to keep my medical terminology knowledge up to date.  Part of the reason for me going into the healthcare feild is because of all the medical issues that have arisen from my family tree.  Knowledge is power and I fully believe in this.

Oh and if anyone knows where to get a youth's manual wheelchair, would you leave me some information in the comment.  Insurance paid for the electric chair BUT those who have dealt with wheelchairs know that a manual is a necessity for alot of things. 

((HUGS)) Thanks for checking in on little man ......
