Dr. Visit

We had some wonderful news from the heart specialist this past week with D. D has a lot of inconsistent PVC's but they are all coming from a benign area in the lower right chamber of the heart and it's not interfering with the function of his heart. This means that his heart is not overworking from the condition. From the holter, they also discovered that when D is active the condition or PVC's stop. Basically his heart overrides the "wayward" cells. The dr. doesn't expect the condition to ever go away but he doesn't anticipate that it will ever get worse. They're going to monitor just to be sure that it doesn't get worse, but we're told that it would be rare for it to worsen. In the meantime, D is free to be a normal child and do whatever he wants to within mom's limits.
