Hi everyone, been out of circulation for a while, said 1209 unread post so I proboably won't read them all. Lisa, thanks for sending the myectomy article, it was very informative.
We have had a hard month as our 13 year old, Jeremy, who was diagnosed with HCM 3 years ago after an arrest, was hosptalized with a bacterial infection which invaded his bloodstream heart and lungs. They had to remove his icd and leads which turned into a life threatening event for several days. He has been in the pediatric icu at St Francis in Tulsa for 4 weeks and still shows vegetation on the right side of his heart and right lung so he will be in for another 3 weeks until it clears out and they can put a new icd in. The infection evidently started as a sinus infection and the first sign we had was a sudden fever of 103.5 when we took him to the er. Just thought I would let you all know and I will provide more details later. My wife stays with him daytimes and I sleep there at night and go to work in the daytime. We firmly believe the God is Jeremy's source of strength and healing and is seeing him through.
Thanks for listening
