Ablation for goddaughter at last.

Some of you may remember my god daughter has been awaiting ablation for SVT since she was 3 years old.

She has been on Flecanide 200mg a day since then and has had 5 cardioversions.

Always planned for when she was 12 and correct weight. At last it came around last month,but was cancelled at 2pm due to an emergency. Then surgeon called mum at 4pm to say the booking team had made a mistake and he would delegate to his team and do hers.

Phew.

Nope on the day,no aneasthetist available. Emergency went to London.

So.....its on again this Thursday. Fingers,knees and elbows crossed.

I thought Id share this story as when I felt low and scared( often) I kicked myself up the butt and thought about her,coping brilliantly. To get arrythmia at that age...

She just got on with it,plays netball,cricket etc.

I will update. Xxxx

Hope all goes well. I can’t imagine how it is for you and the family. You worry more for them at that age than you would do for yourself so you take care of yourself.

Our poor 4-year old also had an argument with a wasp last week, which flew into his shirt at school, stinging him four times.

I hope all goes well with your god daughter!
