I think the technical term is technicardiogram (?) When he was 6 days old in
NICU his heart rate went over 300 beats, basically its an elevated heart
rate. Its not something that happens all the time, it could have been a one
time thing or something that happens more frequently. He's only had a few
episodes. When we first brought him home we had to have him on a monitor
that would monitor his heart rates and his sleep apnea but several months
ago, after he participated in a sleep study he was taken off that. So now
every 3 months until he turns 1, we take him to the Children's hospital and
they do an ekg and then put a Holder monitor on him for 24 hours, which
records his heart. We also had him on medicine 4 times a day which would
keep his heart rate a little slower. But thankfully now we hardly ever give
it to him. I was so p*ssed at his last exam the monitor didn't record
anything. The doctor called and said usually 1 out of 100 don't record and
my little darling was the lucky one who got it. Its not a painful test, but
the older he gets the more uncomfortable it is for him. He has all these
electrodes stuck all over his little chest and then this monitor that he has
to keep elevated, which at his age now will make it harder for him to play
etc. Its a pain in the butt !! The worst part is when you have to take off
the electrodes they really hurt him because it pulls/rips his skin. His aunt
usually gets stuck doing that, and she just cries because it hurts him so
much. But hopefully if all goes well he'll only have to have 2 more times
doing this.

Glad to boys are doing great!! Why, if you don't mind me asking, does
Brandon have to go to the cardiologist? I am sure you have told us before,
but I have no memory cells left in my body:)

Good morning ladies
Well yesterday I took Jason and Brandon to the doctors for their 9 month
appt. I was soo happy Brandon is FINALLY on the growth chart !! :-)
Jason now weighs 17.5 pounds and is 28 1/4 inches long and is 5-10
percentile for his weight and in 50 percentile for his height. My little guy
Brandon is 17.2 pounds and 26 1/2 inches long, so for his height he's in the
5-10 percentile and for his weight he's in the 5 percentile. But that's okay
they're steadily gaining weight and growing. Poor little guys had to get 2
shots each, they cried initially while they got them but that was about it.
I need to take them to the lab to get some blood work. All in all it was a
good visit. I don't know if any of your babies are doing this but mine have
their 2 bottom teeth and are both getting 2 top teeth (not the ones in the
middle, the ones next to them) the pedi said about 5% of babies cross-teeth
and he thought it was funny that both of my boys teeth were growing in that
way.
Hope everyone's day is starting off great
JulieP
