Another trip to the Hospital

Wednesday night Kenzie was feeling her chest and asked "what is this" so I felt it and it was her heart beating super fast. So I grabbed the stethoscope and listened to her heart and it was going about 140 bpm which is unusual for kenzie but I figured it may have been because she was crying earlier and was still recovering from her tantrum.

So I put her to bed and about 30 mins later I went in and checked her heart again and it was still 140 bpm, so I new it wasn't from her crying so I called the transplant coordinator in Denver and Carrie called me back and told me to check it in another hour and if it is still fast to call in the morning and make an appointment and get her checked out. Of course I had her sleep in my bed so I could keep an eye on her and make sure she was still breathing through the night.

Well morning came and her heart was still beating fast so I called at 8 and talked to Emily and she told me that she would talk to Dr. Everitt and see what she thinks and call me back in a few hours. Well Hours went by so I called and she told me that i could take her to her pediatrician or bring her in if it makes me feel more comfortable. Well duh I always feel more comfortable when I know if she is ok or not.

So I took her in around 2p.m and right before we got there Carrie called me back and asked how she was doing and if we went in, I told her we were just walking in and she told me to have them check her pacemaker to see that was causing her high heart rate, something I didn't even think of. That's why we love her.

So we got checked in and Emily came in and checked her heart rate and it was beating 165 bpm so I asked if they were going to check her pacemaker and she said good idea so they came and checked it and found to be in atrial flutter, so they were able to override the arrhythmia with her pacemaker, and got her heart rate back to normal. They then took an Echo and that showed just a little bit of less function then normal but wasn't bad. So they admitted her to the hospital. To treat her for rejection. The amazing thing was that Kenzie was able to notice that something was wrong and let me know that her heart felt funny. What an amazing little girl I have.

My heart sake to the ground, last rejection was so horrible and sever that we almost lost her. I cant help to wonder what I am doing wrong, I try to keep her clean and healthy as possible. But this is her 3rd rejection in 4 years. I think its time for a bubble lol.
