Swimming Lessons Complete

Last Saturday, Chloe completed her 5 weeks of swimming lessons.  She is a real champ now!!

Dr. Johnsrude

On January 30th, we made a trip to Louisville to visit with the electrophysiologist (EP) who will be the one to do the surgical procedure for Chloe. His name is Dr. Johnsrude. We we extremely impressed with his bedside manner and his wealth of knowledge. He feels that the procedure could be done now, but since Chloe is not having major issues at this time, he would like for her to gain a few more pounds. We will see him again in 6 months and hopefully gain a few pounds in the meantime. While we were in Louisville, we decided to "make a day of it". We ate at Tumbleweed on the river and played on the playground near the river. Chloe said this is where she wants to take a vacation

Trip to Kosair Children's Hospital

Last Wednesday, Chloe came home from school early because her stomach was hurting.  She complained all night of her stomach hurting.  Her heart rate was around 140 all day and throughout the night.  Thursday morning she said she did not feel like going to school and she went back to bed..... VERY bad sign.  I called her pediatrician and a cardiologist who both said we needed to get the ER.  So....we made a trip to Louisville where they monitored her heart all night ( of course she was not in fast rhythm anymore) and ran some other test.  Basically they told us they felt like she had a stomach virus which caused the fast heart rate.  When we first arrived at Kosair, Chloe was scared to death.  By the time we left, she said that she wanted to live there!!  She loved all of the attention, watched movies, played games, and got the doctor's autographs in a scrapbook they gave her. Nanny stopped by to visit with Chloe and brought her a Baby Alive, lotion, and nailpolish with a dryer.  Mommy gave Chloe a pedicure in the hospital bed.  What "fun"!!

Please continue to pray for Chloe and her heart condition.  We will meet with a EP doctor on January 30th to discuss the ablation (surgical procedure).  Thanks for all of your concern and prayers.
