Check out my Slide Show!

Transmission Day

We did it. It took some force to hold Harrison down, but we did our first pacemaker transmission today. He did not like being pinned down to get this done. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do.Here is Harrison getting ready to transmit his pacemaker activity. At this point he thinks he is just sitting in Daddy's lap.

Now he knows there was more going on. He does not like having to sit for this. My nephew, Owen, is in the background just watching. This only took less than 3 minutes. Every time he screamed his implant would move and we would loose its location. We would have to find it again and the recording would finish. After the recording was done H could go play. The box will automatically dial Medtronic. It works like a modem. Pretty cool! Of course, I don't advise anyone to go get one...it is not that cool.

2 Pounds in 3 and a half weeks...

We saw cardiology and Harrison has gained 2 pounds since he got his new lease on life, aka pacemaker. He is growing out of his 6/9 month shorts. He does have a mild flow obstruction from his LVOTO, so now we have to see Dr. Siu twice a year instead of once a year. If obstruction changes he'll have to have another heart surgery.

Until then he is doing amazing. He is still fussy and whinny, but he is 2 and a half. He has so much energy. He is learning to climb on things and loves to run down the hallway. We will upload his pacemaker for the first time on the 27th. This will be interesting to learn.

Mom, dad, and older brother are going on a trip in July without Harrison. We are going to Cozumel to an all inclusive resort. They have children activities for 4 and up, so Harrison is going to hang out with Nana while we are gone. We are so excited. I think William will enjoy the trip. We have never gone on a trip without H, so this will be interesting.

Thanks for all of the prayers. If I don't post, it just means we are so busy. School is out on June 6th, ah... no more lunches to make.
