We met the new pacer team!

For those keeping up...Micah had an appointment in Kansas City to meet with his new pace maker team. They are very thorough there. We waited a little while because everyone involved was reading Micah's "novel". They ran 2 EKGs and did a FULL pacer interrogation. There is something heartbreaking about your 3 year old grabbing his chest and saying "Ow! I don't like tha
t! Mommy make her stop!" It is amazing, though, that he knew that the nurse running the interrogation was the one messing with his heart rate. They were also amazed at how well behaved he was. He stayed still for everyone. The pacer doctor even said that they need to send all of their babies to Boston to learn how to behave in an examination. Results! Micah's battery only has about 1 1/2 year - 2 years left. His right ventricle is pulling more energy than they were expecting. They are hoping that this is only because he is fighting off a cold virus and that in 2 months everything will be fine. If not then Boston will need to make a decision about changing the battery again soon. Everything else looks good. All chambers are firing and his heart rate is perfect. Please pray that his heart is only drawing more power because of his cold and that there is no underlying cardiac problems."
