The visit with the specialist was good - not what I wanted to hear, but it was good. 95% of SVT (SupraVentricular Tachycardia) is 'curable' with ablation - a procedure done in a lab setting. He thinks AJ has the type that is not. It figures! He also said he won't know for sure until they actually go in the heart and measure everything. AJ decided to go ahead and try the procedure. If the doctor is wrong, and it is something they can use ablation on, then they will 'fix it'. If they can't, then we will at least know more information, and where we stand and can make further decisions from there. I know I am bummed, and I know AJ is too - we both wanted the 'quick fix'. He really liked the doctor, and the doctor was very good at explaining what he was talking about to him (and me!)



I think Koori and Picot have settled in quite well together - Koori is very gentle, and Picot is not!

I started a new crochet project - just for me! It is a summer sweater/shrug that I hope to actually get done in time to use this summer. I tried a new (to me) technique - chainless foundations. I actually started this shrug 3 times, and I ended up with my base row wrong each time (too many distractions!), so I dug out my instructions for doing the chain foundation and first row all at the same time. For this particular shrug pattern, I needed something like 158 chains to start. With the new technique, I was able to do the chain 158, turn, sc in next two chains, picot, sc in next three chains - all at the same time! I hate working in the long chain you have to create anyway, so this worked out very nicely. Now to actually finish it! I got the first two rows done yesterday. I also worked on the giraffe toy - I have all the parts made except the legs. I'll get them tonight, and get him put together, I hope.
