The beinging of the Tests.

When Adam and I first met, I had no idea he had a step mother. I thought she was his birth mother, his step mother is very kind and I'm so happy to have her in my life. Adam's birth mother died when he was only 6 years old and his mother was only 32 years old. I never really knew what she died of, except it was a heart condition. Since Adam and I have been married I have wanted to get Adam tested for it, we both thought that all he needed was an echo cardiogram(ultra sound of the heart). One night I made Adam call his Dad and find out what it was that his mom died of. Well his Dad could not remember the name of it. So we called Grandma, and she told us it was called SADS. SADS stands for Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome. Adam's aunt and Grandpa on his mom's side have also died of this. Since his mom had it, she had a 50% chance of passing it on to her children. Adam has one sister and one brother. There are no real signs of SADS except death! I really don't want to loose my husband! So I made him get set up so we go see Dr. Chin Hwang, well we are seeing Dr. David Wang. Before we could even go see the doctor Adam had to do some other little tests. It all started with Adam having to wear a holter monitor for 24 hours.

Here is Adam being my STRONG Superman!

Adam showing me just how much he is enjoying the itchy tape, and just having to wear the monitor.

Adam really didn't like wearing it, it said it was annoying for the most part. it was really bulky too. We went out to dinner Friday the 14 for my birthday and he had it on at the time. Well it kept making him itch, so he almost pulled the leads off a couple times.
Other tests that he has had done in order for us to see the doctor is: An EKG, and an Echo. We get to go see Dr. David Wang on Monday, August 24 at 1 o'clock. I'm so scared to find out if he has it.
