Gage is turning 3-years old next week. It's been a wonderful year with very little hospital visits. Gage made it nearly one year without an SVT episode which was a personal best for him. On April 8th, he took a visit to the E.R. when we found his little heart beating around 220 b.p.m. We were at a friends and I'd noticed that he was walking with a limp.
I thought maybe he'd hurt his little toes or perhaps stepped on something since he was barefoot. When I reached over to pick him up, I grabbed him just under his arms with my fingers touching his chest. I could feel his heart racing and asked Kristy to confirm. She took him to Rady Children's Hospital where they were able to convert him out of SVT with a shot of adenosine. He was able to leave and come home in only a few hours. They decided to up his Sotalol a little more to try and prevent any more SVT episodes from occurring anytime soon.
Gage has continued to form a very special bond with his big brother and the two of them have such a wonderful time when they're together. Gage can't seem to go more than an hour or two without seeing his brother. He continues to enjoy watch his brother ride his dirt bike and race BMX bikes at the track as well. Gage has become an excellent balance bike rider and is getting to enjoy time out at the BMX track as well. He's at the age now where he'll really get to enjoy his birthday. He's looking forward to some presents, cake, and a bounce house.
