Yesterday, Isaac woke up with a fever. He has some mild cold symptoms, so we didn't think too much of it. However, in the afternoon he seemed crankier than usual, so we checked his heart rate. It was racing. We used the ice packs and got him out of it on the second try.
He woke up at 4am screaming. We ran in and checked his heart rate. SVT again. We tried the ice three times and couldn't slow it down. So, we went to the ER at Children's Memorial Hospital. They slowed his heart down pretty quickly, and we hung out for a little while for observation. Now, we're all trying to catch some rest. I guess the fever really raises his risk for SVT, so we're giving him Motrin on schedule until he's completely better.
