Well, The past couple of days has been a roller coaster of waiting. We did have to take him off his amiodarone (controlled the arrythmias) because they couldn't do the ep study with it in his system. As of now he's had no problems and his rhythm has been nomal. As long as we continue that way -- they are saying that he's outgrown the arrythmia which they say they usually do between 2 -3 years old. If he has truly outgrown it, he will not need the ep study. If he does have sytems, He'll have to go back on the amiodarone to get it in control. Then go to the hospital to come off it and go on an esmolol drip until they can do the ep study and ablation. All this before his fontan if we can gt it all in -- they said it's harder to do an abalation after the fontan is complete. So wish us luck. As for the cath itself -- it went fine. He was in around 7:30 and we had been called that they were done and we were in his SAS room by 9:30 waiting on him to show up. He slept for the next 2 hours, then woke up and was ready to go!!! He was offering the nurses $1000 to take his IV out. He also told me "Mommy I'm done with it, you take it!" But the official results were that his pulmonary artieries had grown well and the pressures were nice and low (I believe he said 10) And that we looked great and ready for his fontan. So, we are a go for June 27th. We are home now and he's back to his normal self -- he no longer "has the woozles" as we called them. So, I'll keep in touch and if we have any other med/arrythmia problems I'll post them.
