(this apparently is Em's first foray into the blogging world....OR why I try not to walk away from the computer when Little Miss Sybil is around!)


Not much to blog today, but wanted to update on Jerm's appointment.

All the tests came back normal with two exceptions. First one being his good cholesterol is a bit on the low side (total cholesterol is wonderful) so to help that number he is supposed to exercise 30-40 minutes at least 6 days a week. The second exception was that during one of his self induced "episodes" while he was wearing the halter, his heart rate dropped about 20 points. What the cardiologist feels is that Jerm is not properly hydrated. Because he is so tall and lean, she feels that he likely underestimates the amount of fluids he needs for activity. So on top of exercising daily, he is also supposed to make sure that he's consumed at least 2 bottles of water before doing anything strenuous including gym (PE) classes.

We see her again in December where he will again be fitted with a halter and have another stress test & echo done. We are to call her if there are any issues in the mean time.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts, prayers & well wishes...I hope the increased hydration is the key. :)
