Cali + Snowy
February 26, 2010 | Filed Under Studio 67
On February 5th we took our youngest daughter to the family doctor for what we thought was a bladder infection. Within an hour we were in the ER at McMaster Children's Hospital, she had IVs inserted into both arms and we were being told she has type 1 diabetes and a heart condition. From there we spent the next few days in pediatric ICU and then another 2 weeks in the regular pediatric ward as we awaited word from Sick Kids hospital in Toronto. We managed to get her diabetes under control fairly quickly but the heart problem (LQTS) is a bit trickier to sort out because she has a very low heart rate as well as a long QT wave.This Tuesday afternoon we brought her home and the first thing she wanted to do was build a snowman... Brian helped her make "Snowy" the snowperson. As we await our appointment at Sick Kids in a couple of weeks we are optimistic that they will be able to give us some answers/solutions. In the meantime we're making happy memories ... like this one below.
