I took my 4-year old son for his yearly check up yesterday. I was informed that his septal thickness when from an 8 to an 11 in one year. They put him on a 24-hour heart monitor. If it shows anything at all they are going to put a defibrillator in. If it shows nothing, they are going to wait a year and then put a defibrillator in. Because of the death of my nephew at age 10, they are being overly cautios with my son. I agree with this decision.
However, because of his small size, they discussed wrapping the wires around his heart instead of going through the veins. I didn't think to ask until today of course, does this require open heart surgery? Does anyone know? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
