Ablation #2 Scheduled for Tuesday.....

We met with Dr. Wong on Monday, August 27th for Sam's 3 month post-ablation update. Despite the fact he was running late and by late we mean almost 2 hours behind... the original plan for this appointment was for Dr. Wong to take Sam off all of his arrhythmia medications and put him on a 30 day heart monitor to see how his heart was doing after healing for 3 months. However, after we finally got to see Dr. Wong he decided against his original plan. Since Sam hasn't had too many episodes lately he didn't want to mess with his medications and cause something to go hay wire. Which we both appreciated.

Sam is having a 2nd ablation on Tuesday, October 9th at Beaumont. Dr. Wong is confident this should correct all of his arrhythmia issues once and for all. His plan of attack for this procedure is to successfully ablate the left side of Sam's heart. We are very hopeful he is right as this procedure comes about a month before his 1 year post-op mark. Dr. Wong mentioned the night before he plans to get 12 hours of sleep, eat a couple bowls of Wheaties for breakfast and be ready for another long day. I am looking forward to another hospital slumber party, hoping this one goes a little faster and we can finally put Sam's heart arrhythmia's behind us.

Stay tuned...
