Heart SVT
Simon had another episode like last night where his heart rate increased (medical term is SVT) until they gave him some medication (adenisen (sp?)) to regulate it. We were told that one episode is not uncommon but after todays episode they will need to keep an eye on it. They feel confident that they can use a daily medication to regulate his problem but need to make sure they get the dosage correct. Our trip home will be delayed a few more days.
They say there is no danger when his heart rate spikes like that unless it goes on for close to a full day. But this is something they want to get under control.
God, it seems like the problems never end and the future will be full of worrying. Please heal our son and give us strength to make it through the rough times.

Summer and Dean, Sorry for the home delay. Just hold on to the comfort that the Lord is in control and let Him embrace you all with the peace that passeth all understanding. My thoughts and prayers are continously with you. Marcia
dean- we will be praying this with you.
We sure will be praying for Simon as he fights to get better, and for you guys as you wait and wonder.
Dean and Summer:
We have been praying for you and Simon daily during Simon's stay at Riley. Our son, Brian, was a patient there after he was born 5 months ago. We know and felt the power of prayer while we waited by his side and wondered. We will continue to pray for you during this time.
