It seemed to take longer than anticipated for them to call us back to meet with the doctor. We sat outside the door trying to be patient. He sat us down and took a long explanation to share that Robbie does not need a pacemaker. He has a hormonal imbalance. The vagal tone (whatever the hormone is that counters adrenaline is called? Will have to look it up!) that works to counter adrenaline is over compensating and that is what is causing his heart to slow and skip beats. He just needs lots of water and caffeine!
Can you imagine when Robbie wakes up how he will respond to not having a pacemaker, but needing a Mountain Dew? We're just waiting to see him now!
We feel as though we have just experienced a miracle! How gracious God has been to us!
He was and is in utter shock! Before surgery the doctor spent a bit of time talking about pacemakers, what kind he would put in, etc., so we were really anticipating a pacemaker. We continue to rejoice! And will do so for as long as He keeps us on this earth!

Praising God with you!
We too are praising God with you. Wonderful news.
I still haven't gotten over this yet - or what Emily told me on the Skype call: "We're happier then a meese in a stew!" :D :D :D
