Proverbs 8:11 "For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her."
Our prayer today has been..."Wisdom...not just wisdom to come. Be with the doctors and our son."
Today, we have talked with the doctors a few different times about why Zechariah's heart rate has consistantly stayed around 170 for the past few days. They have come back with a the answer of tachycardia and artial flutter. So, today was a routine course of trying a certain heart medicine, then they gave him an EKG, then a different medicine, and another EKG, and another EKG. Over the course of the last twenty-four hours Zak has had about nine echocardigrams.
He has so many stickers and medicine lines around him I call him the Bionic-Kid. He even has Spiderman stickers!
The doctors have been able to look at his EKGs and listen to him throughout the day. They have noticed that the medicines are not doing what they were expecting them to do...
So, the next step is to a cardiac ablation. It is scheduled for Tuesday along with other tests for his new heart.
We know that he is less than one out from having a heart transplant. His new heart is trying to learn how to function now.
Please continue to ask of God for wisdom who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
