[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 201651, member: 5957"] Ok thanks Marge for your input. I know nobody has diagnosed him specifically yet and I know it's not an invasive procedure. However, what I am worried about is this -I have avoided detailing this earlier because I didn't think it was relevant to the other posts and also didn't want to give out too much personal info. His rough start to life occurred before birth. I went for a routine checkup and found out his heart rate was too fast. They immediately admitted me to the hospital and tried to control his heart rate in utero by giving me drugs and shots and everything. I was in the hospital a week before they decided they had to deliver. Of course he immediately went to the NICU and they tried everything they could. He was diagnosed with SVT(simply a quirky heart). He got transferred to a level 3 NICU when he was just a few hours old. He spent the next 3 weeks there. His heart was stopped twice-once on purpose once not. We almost lost him. My husband has reminded me that he is strong and something inside him will get through whatever is thrown at him, but its still scary. I worry that if he has any other "conditions" that they will have to fix those with medications that may affect his heart. Alternately, he could just try to deal with those symptoms. If all he has is ADD or something I know that medications will help but there are other things I can try as well. With seizures, if he has them, I am pretty sure there is no other things to try besides medications. So that is what is bothereing me so much-either he is doomed if he does or doomed if he doesn't. I plan to call some docs tomorrow as I said earlier and I will let you all know what happens. Thanks for the support. [/QUOTE]
