Man are our bodies crazy or what. Its amazing they function the way they do. Yet for some reason mine isn't. After I had Ruby, I was having weird heart problems, palpitations and such, so my OB sent me to a cardiologist to rule out a few things that can happen to your heart after you have baby. Well, they did an EKG, 48hr halter monitor, and an US of my heart. A lot of tests for nothing except to say that I am fine, just a few extra heart beats. Well, that Dr. was a little more concerned about these fainting spells I have had where if I get startled or scared I will get a severe pain in my chest and blackout. I always thought it was something funny or weird I did but they didn't seem to think so. So that Dr. sent me to another Dr. today, one that specializes in the electrical part of the heart. He did an EKG and found something abnormal that they didn't see last time. Trent and I weren't expecting that. He said its rare, but I could have a condition called Brugada or it could just be some of the unexplained blackouts people have. So to just rule it out, in two weeks I have to go to the hospital to have a procedure where they will give me a medication to stress my heart out and then monitor me to see if I will react and have an episode. I am not really worried about the outcome because it will probably be nothing, but I am more worried about the test its self. So please pray for me. Don't worry I will be fine, I am just a little stressed right now. But I'm sure it will be nothing and its just some weird thing I do when I get scared. So I guess no more scary movies for me.

Dang, I have no room to talk about my day after hearing about what your headed for. I'll keep you in my prayers for sure. I hope everything is ok. Let me know.
I think I passed out last night for the first time. i was standing next to dan and it seems like I blacked out for a split second so i sat down and I couldn't see anything clearly. Everything was bouncing, even when I closed my eyes, back and forth back and forth, I couldn't focus for a couple minutes. I was way scared, but he dr said it was probably low blood pressure. I think I had a seziur. I dont trust any dr's oppinions after what happened to Kelsie.
so go with your gut on this and get a second opinion if you feel you need one.
