Izzy update..

we just got back from our quick visit...the cardiologist was just finishing up examining her...after looking at her day long EKG strips and what has happened in the OR they suspect she has Sick Sinus Syndrome...she will now wear a Holter monitor for 72 hrs to see if they need to place a pacemaker now or if she can be monitored by a cardiologist and have the pacemaker implanted at a later date...Dr Pinard was still there and said she has never operated as fast as she did today...they apologized for the sutures not being very neatly placed ...she said Izzy made them all earn their pennies today, Dr Flores came out and had a consult with us, she is a ICU doc...I looked at her and asked her if she was working in the ICU last year and she said yes...I reminded her she had looked after Bella...I knew I recognized her from somewhere...Dr P said that Dr F was in the OR and was technically the reason Izzy is still alive along with the anesthesiologist team...Izzy didn't look too bad for all she had been thru today...but was very medicated...we did get some kisses though...hopefully she has a quiet night .
  • Izzy looks great and sounds like she has wonderful people looking after her. Wishing you a and Izzy a very positive future. Please keep up updated.
  • Oh she does look good. I also am hoping that the pacemaker won't be necessary. She is very lucky to have such a caring momma!!
  • Thank you so much for updating us. So glad that Izzy is doing well. I hope the pacemaker won't be necessary.
  • Fantastic news. Hoping the pacemaker isn't necessary.
  • Aww--she looks so good and seems so alert. Glad you got some loving in. Will continue to keep you all in my prayers.
  • I'm so glad to hear she pulled through Nabi. I know she has a long way to go but Thank God she has such a wonderful mother to look out for and care for her!!!! Believe me i can relate to seeing pink and purple elephants a few years ago on some medication they gave me after emergency surgery on my leg. I only remember coming too and asking if they had any of that in the 2 liter bottle to go. :B

    Give Izzy a hug and kiss from Mo. and my prayers are with her and you of course. Thank You for taking such wonderful care of that little girl.
  • Izzy just turned 5 in May.....
    she was heavily medicated and to use Dr Pinards very technical lingo she was " seeing pink and purple elephants "
  • Aw, she's one lucky girl to have a Mom that cares so much. She looks pretty good considering what she's been thru.
  • Wow, Izzy looks way better than I expected! How old is she again? She sure has been through a lot for a tiny thing. Glad you got some smoochies.
