Thank you all for the prayer. Levi and I just got home. Melissa and Jack are at the hospital. They are keeping him overnight for observation.
Jack was in SVT (super ventricular tachacardia) for at least 2 hours. While dangerous, you dont reach critical until somewhere around 24 hours. Thankfully they were able to get him out of it.
It was very traumatic for Melissa and I. there were eight people working on him, IV, 10 lead EKG lines, and a crying tiny baby on a table that we couldnt help.
to bring him out of the SVT, they have to place a bag of ice water on his face for, well I dont know how long. it seemed like an eternity. It took 2 attempts of that to get his heart rythem to come back. each time he screamed and we cried.
he hasnt eaten since 4 pm today and he is really hungry and cannot eat until the Dr. sees him tomorrow. that is just brutal.
please keep us in your prayers. its been a tuff night. for Melissa, it will be very long.
thanks.

Ohhhhhh, Ferd, I know that is SO tough for you guys!!!! And POOR Jack!

Ferd,
Thanks for the update. I can't imagine. I know how bad it hurts when our kids are hurting and especially when we are helpless to make the situation better.
I will be praying ont only for Jack but for you and Melissa as well. Be sure and tell Melissa we are holding her up in prayer.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

If it's any help to you at all the fluids they are giving him should be sustaining him nutritionally.
Still praying!

Ferd, I came on here first thing this morning hoping to see a good report. I'm so glad that Jack is doing better, even if the poor little fella is hungry
Continuing to pray here for Jack, as well as for Melissa and for you.
Is this something you will have to deal with for all of Jack's life or will he eventually outgrow it?

about 80% of babies grow out of it by age 1
those that dont can have a procedure at age 4 where they go into the heart and distroy the bad electrical pathway that causes this.
the doctor called that a cure. so long term the outlook is execelent. in the meantime, its pretty rough.
