We heard from our volunteers last night. She sent me a FB message and wants to come on Monday night. So that is settled.

I was really worried because we were running out of time and we have some medical appointments and those days would just be bad.

So it's all settled for Monday.

I'm so glad everything turned out okay! I knew it would!

I have not been feeling well today. As you may know, one of my diagnosis is premature beats of the hearts, called arrhythmia. With no history of cardiac serious, these are not serious. But of course, I have history. Since this morning, they've been coming in clusters ( bigeminy and trigeminy- that's when there's either an extra or missed beat every two or three beats). This can be very annoying as you don't get a break from having a missed beat every two beats and can cause fatigue. I've had about 5 clusters today, each with around 40 missed or extra beats. Sometimes, they come randomly( those I don't count), but today has not been good.

I can recall my the wort day of my life regarding my arrhythmias during I did not recieve medical attention because I did not want to freak Mom out. It was during our vacation at Disneyland, we went to Universal Studios for the day. It was around 3 pm as we were headed back to the hotel( a one hour drive). I started getting a missed or extra beat every three beats or four. It continued for about an hour. I was completely exhausted after that hour and the family decided to get something to eat so we went to the mall. Miraculously, as we were eating I only had around 30 abnormal beats and I " took a break" it. Little did I know, that this was going to last until 9:00 am the following morning.

When we headed back to the hotel, it started all over again as I watching TV. Lub dub Lub dub Lub dub -PAUSE- Lub dub lub dub -PAUSE-...When it started again, it didn't "stop" until three hours later. i don't know how to do the math here, but thhat's a lot of missed beats. By then, I started getting a pain in my chest every time there would be an abnormal beat because the contraction of the heart would be very powerful. Trust me, when you've dealt with more than 300 extra or missed beats, those extra beats start to hurt.- at least for me.-

I did not tell my parents anything 'cause I thought this would all pass. I went to bed early. Guess what woke me up? A very powerful extra beat. It continued on during breakfast. I know I shouldn't have done this and I NEVER WILL. I took an extra dose of my heart meds. I take beta-blockers. An hour later, everything stopped and I could finally breathe again. I think I learned a lesson. ALWAYS INFORM EVERYTHING.

I've commented to my mom about this today. We're not too concerned as they're not that frequent as THAT time. But if they continue on even when I'm in bed, I think we'll have to do something.

Grandma Linda, concerned old lady, here. TELL YOUR MOTHER! EVERY time. You didn't want to freak her out, but think about how freaked out she would have been if you passed out in front of her! My goodness.

I agree, please tell your mom. As a mom, I want to know everything!

Hi everyone....Sorry I have been MIA. Hubbys work travels, kids getting sick and now me getting sick has taken all my time and energy. I am still feeling poorly, so I will have to catch up later, but I wanted to check in and also let you know that I posted some Mickey Mail pictures on Brendan's pre-trip report. The wonderful person wants to be kept anonymous, but this person really brought some smiles to the faces of my kids! If you have some time, check it out. I promise to catch up soon!

I have told her. Well, for now, the continuous runs of arhythmias have stop. I've had 20-30 isolated ones today. I haven't had a 24-hour holter study done in around 3 years so maybe it's time for one. We'll see.

GOOD HEAVENS!!! YES TELL YOUR MOMMA ALWAYS!!!!!!! :whew: so glad you are ok for now!!


I've been MIA too, looking at a busy week as usual....my non wish kid is going for formal allergy testing this week too....I'm excited to hopefully get to the bottom of some of her issues. I also need to get me to the doctor for some throat issues that landed me in the ER this weekend..not so fun and ODD to be the one on the table and not in the chair next to it! I'll survive, but I need to take care of me too I guess!

Gabbie had a pretty good week coming off her steroid pulse...we took her swiming A LOT and it really seems to help with her pain issues.

OK...back to doing disney dreaming with ya all!

Thanks! What? The ER?! You ok?

aaawww Simmin' is fun! Yay for Gabbie!

Today I've been feeling faint..don't know if it's related. My mom is going to call the cardiologist's office to try to get an appt. for Wednesday. The doctor will probably send me home with holter Monitor. (It's like a 24-hour EEG but for the heart- a portable ECG).
Also, hopefully we'll hear from MAW this week!

Good luck with the allergy testing. Definitely take time to take care of you. I haven't been taking care of me and I can't kick this cold.

Also glad to hear Gabbie had a good week. Love to hear when they are doing well!

OK...back to doing disney dreaming with ya all!

Also I was planning on doing the big package for Em, how do I know which one MAW made. Does that mean they paid for it laready?

Thanks!

I would call MAW and talk to them about your plans and see if they can help you put it all together. Not sure if they pay in advance, or if they will include it in your expense check. There's no real to know that for sure, as well as what package they booked without just asking them straight out. I think that's okay to do!

I made the appointment for my daughter's BBB and they just put the money in the expense check.
