Our wonderful, gorgeous girl at 3 years of age.

Growing something special.

Pictures taken 16 weeks pregnant.

Baby Anatomy Scan.

We had our formal anatomy scan this week and our little growing girl is fine and healthy. This was a great relief after the ordeal she must have endured with Cath's episode of AF and the drugs she recieved.

Be still my beating heart!

Unfortunately, Catherine spent all weekend in Armadale and Royal Perth Hospitals, the night we arrived back from holiday!
She has a history of a heart problem called Atrial Fibrillation with an Arrythmia. She has not had any problems with it for 2.5 years and has not been on medication for the same amount of time. But it decided to rear its ugly head again and she spent 42 hours in AF as the drugs the doctors were using were not working. As they were reluctant to cardiovert her, being that she was 18 weeks pregnant, they tried various heart drugs to no avail.
Then suddenly, after 42 hours, just as they had decided to anaesthetise her and cardiovert her heart - it spontaneously reverted back into a normal sinus rhythm!
So she is now back on heart medication and has been thrown out of the Family Birth Centre for her pregnancy care and birth as she is considered too "high risk"!
She is back under the care of her cardiologist and consultant obstetric physician at King Edward memorial Hospital, much to her displeasure!
