our latest drama...

It has been a while since I have had a chance to update! Now there is actually something worth updating about :) Just asking for a few prayers...this past Thursday Liam choked/gagged on a piece of an apple. But he seemed just fine afterwards...well soon afterwards he started vomiting, and he couldn't swallow any food with any success so we talked with the pediatrician and he wanted us to take him to the immediate care. We were thinking there was probably still an obstruction from when he gagged earlier. Well before we even saw the doctor at immediate care, Liam had the "obstruction" taken care of :). But then she came in to see him, and found that he has an irregular heartbeat. Which lead to more tests...he had an EKG a chest x-ray and an abdominal x-ray. Not one of my favorite moments as a mom, watching him go through all of that, all though I thought he was very cooperative for the most part. I was pretty proud of him. Anyways...the pediatric cardiologist read the EKG and didn't think it was anything to get too concerned about, but wanted us to follow up with our doctor. The chest and abdominal x-ray came back looking normal. So the next day we went and saw our pediatrician, and he confirmed the irregular heartbeat, and set us up with an appointment to see a pediatric cardiologist on October 7th. He also, does not think it is anything to worry about, but would rather have it checked out just to be sure. These things can be caused by a virus or multiple other things, and they usually resolve on their own, but we will get it checked just in case! So a few prayers would be appreciated :). He is perfectly fine now. Running around and being as ornery as EVER. He is quite the handful right now. Here is a pic of him getting his EKG. It was quite a challege to get the test run before he pulled all the wires off :) A BIG thanks goes out to my mom for meeting Liam and I at immediate care and hanging out with us for the 3 hours we were there :) I think at the end of it all, grandma was a little more traumatized than Liam was :)
