I was so sad to see the last time I posted here was in 2017! Life has a way of getting in the way I guess. We built a house, sans contractor, just my husband and I, between Fall 2017 and Fall 2018 so that consumed most of my time. We finally finished and moved in October 2018! But then I also began homeschooling 2 of my 4 children so again, another time consuming life moment.
Kimber has been doing amazing since her ablation in December 2016! She gave us a bit of a scare last summer, 2018, during physical activity. She would get very winded and extremely flushed in the face and beg to rest for a bit complaining her heart was beating too fast. Of course I didn't have a stethoscope, or any device, with me to check on her heart rate or rhythm because we were at her soccer game or at a school function that I was unprepared for so I don't know exactly what was going on, I checked her rate with my hand on her chest and finger on her pulse but those only helped in letting me know she wasn't beating super out of control, I wish I could have heard the rhythm or been able to count the rate exactly. As it is we brought it up with her pediatrician at her 7 year well child and she suggested an EKG just to make sure all was well, I'm super happy to report the EKG came back NORMAL, not normal for K but rather normal for any child, no PJRT to be seen, and of course no SVT as she was perfectly calm and relaxed. For now we assume she is still SVT free and PJRT free, doing well and growing perfectly.
Can you believe this baby is 7?! She turns 8 this summer! Where did the last 7.5 years go? She lost her first tooth a few weeks ago and has two more loose teeth getting ready to come out. She's sassy, sweet, endearing, caring, and so gracious. And she's growing like a weed.
Our only concerns with K are to do with education and her learning abilities. She shows signs of possible Auditory Processing Disorder, which has been mentioned may be due to her old mini stroke in early infancy, the Neurologist doesn't agree but school psychology, speech pathology, and the special education director all think this may be something to keep in mind when treating our sweet girl. She's very smart with math and spelling, her hand writing is pretty good, but her reading and comprehension is very low and she has problems with her memory. Some things that have helped her immensely have been Ballet technique classes and Hip-Hop dance classes, she does very well in dance and is very meticulous with the techniques.
I hope to pop on here more often now, hopefully I can actually make it happen! I pray everyone who is following is doing well, especially our heart friends.
