Amanda Update

The results of the halter heart monitor test last week revealed that she indeed suffered from tachycardia all day long.. her heart rate racing up and down from 80 or 85 bpm to 120 bpm. No one can really tell us why this is happening which is probably the most difficult part of this trial. The good news is that both the monitor test and the echocardiogram test shows a perfectly formed and funtioning heart which is such a blessing and miracle! The only problem is trying to figure out why Mandy's heart is racing up and down. We had thought that once her infection was gone that the issue would be resolved but that is not the case. Some have suggested that it may be hormone issues, some are suggesting that it could be a thyroid issue. We will be retesting her for the thyroid in another 4 weeks. In the meantime she is on many supplements and vitamins which is helping her with her exhaustion and headaches. We are so so blessed she is feeling better but it does not tell us *why* she is still suffering from the tachycardia. Please keep praying that she continues to feel better and that we have the wisdom to order the tests which are going to give us more information on her situation. Thanks to all!
