On a serious note... at 2:00pm the cardiologist partnering with the NICU nurses attempted to get his heart beat to a regular rate. The procedure they used is called Cardioversion. It synchronizes or resets the heart's rhythm. They attempted this procedure 3 times and it did not work as planned.
So we move on....
The next step is treating him directly with Digoxin and Amiodorane through the umbilical cord.
So now we wait...
the good news is when I left him earlier he had a consistent heart rate of 199bpm. We are very thankful.
Overall things are going well. We are extremely impressed with the Memorial Hermann crew. No matter where we step foot... most likely there is a smiling face waiting. This makes our stay here much more enjoyable. We covet your thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
The Belgards
