Close Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I have an 8yr old son a 4yr old step son and a disabled 15month old daughter me and hubby are police officers and get married in 5 weeks 2 weeks before my daughter comes home after spending 15months in hospital
Open Arrhythmias
My 14month old daughter carys has already had 3 open heart surgeries but the after marth is aortic ectopic arrythmias with rates of between 175 and 257 bpm (not runs of svt)and on occasion bradycardia her lowest before arrest being 45bpm.She has tachycardia and also flips in and out of sinus rythymn if her heart is too fast for too long.Unfortunately she is extremely sensitive to drugs and we only have two that have some effect so far
Treatments
- Inderal Somewhat Helpful
- The exact amount of propanolol does help bring her rate down, she has it 3 times a day the flecanide helps so that if she goes high she doesnt flip out of sinus rythym
