The Brady Bunch

No, not that one.

Bradycardia

Payton and Parker are both having issues with these. They have had mild ones that they are able to resolve on their own. They have had some that they need to be stimulated to come out of. They have had some that are bad enough that they need to be bagged to come out of it.

They've had lots of them, all kinds. Their heart rate drops, the oxygen saturation drops. There's really no sign that it's coming, just all of the sudden it is and the alarms are going off, nurses coming quickly into the room.

It's scary when they have them. Payton has had one that she needed to be stimulated to come out of while both of us were holding her. Parker has done it too (although it's been a little better since going back on the steroids). It helps a little that now we know what to do to try to help stimulate them when they have one.

Hopefully, as they keep getting bigger and their brain develops more they will remember what to be doing all the time. For now, we just keep trying to pay attention when they get out so they don't get away with it.
