Back to Atrial flutter

We are at home with Zoey tonight, we both felt fairly comfortable with  leaving Michael there this afternoon. We came home and went to bed around 6pm.  I am still exhausted but had the urge to wake up and check on him at 2am. I just got off the phone with his nurse, it sounds like he is still on that fragile teeter totter. We put him on a different arrhythmia medication this afternoon, but it may not be doing the trick. He flipped back into the atriall flutter tonight, so his heart rate is going up again, the nurse said he is hanging out in the 180's. I don't know what they will try next, the sotalol he was on last night did not react well with his body, but that is there first choice for preventing arrhythmia.  What a trip this is... poor little guy is all over the charts. He looked great this afternoon, I can't believe we are still in this funk. I think everyone was hoping the flutter was a fluke and the arrhythmia medication was kind of just a safety net. Tomorrow should be interesting, thank you for thinking about our little guy.
