Yesterday Eric had his last heart test with good results. During the electrical study, the doctor was not able to recreate any arrhythmias, although his heart did go into atrial fibrillation (I think that's what they called it!) They shocked him back to a normal rhythm 3 times during the procedure and once before he came home. This morning Eric said he felt a bit "tingly" but that feeling is fading as the day goes on.
What we now understand is that Eric's heart paces at a faster rate than a normal heart. That means that under stress, it may jump up to a higher rhythm. This is a benign condition and something he was probably born with. He is on a 30 day heart monitor to watch for further symptoms and help determine if medication is warranted.
We are grateful for the Lord's kind and gracious answer to many prayers on our behalf!!
