The time has finally arrived for Audrey's next procedure. We have struggled with the surgery as time has passed since her ICD implantation. We had an appointment at Childreans Healthcare of Atl on Thursday where they downloaded all of her stats from the ICD since the last appointment and she has been doing awesome. There have been no arythmias or worrisome rhythms. I asked our EP to tell me on a 1-10 scale how he thought she was doing and he said "9.9". The fact that she was doing so well begged the question that we had been struggling with. I asked him if he still feels as strongly that the denervation procedure should be performed on Audrey and he explained to us that he still felt the same. The decision to move forward is not as much reactive to what occurred last month but more of an attempt to prevent those arythmias in the future.

After our day of travel we are now here in Rochester, Minnesota. We have a full day of consultation on Monday including ECG, Xrays, and meetings with multiple doctors. We are scheduled for the procedure on Tuesday although not sure what exact time yet. We should find that out on Monday.
