Update

Charlie has been feeling lousy all week and his heart rate is staying around 72. He called the doctor today and he told him to go home and take a test - technology is really cool - he just lays on the couch with a magnet on his chest and the phone receiver on this box and it takes the information by satellite to the doctor without Charlie actually going to his office. He has been doing this test for the last year and in December they pushed it up to every 30 days to monitor him a little closer - him having to go home right now to take it was a good sign. After the test he says he will read over the information and call him back. I am SURE that it is going to be just where it needs to be and that either tomorrow or Monday we are headed for the hospital - WRONG! The doctor said the voltage is still too high and that his heart rate is slow because of his "cold". NOOOOOO That is so not the answer I was expecting today. I am ready to have my energetic, fun loving husband back. Tyler is having a hard time understanding why Daddy is so tired all the time and can't play the normal things they usually do.
The good news I guess is that now they are going to monitor him ever 14 days instead of 30......
Lord please teach us the lesson of patience through these next few months......
