We are in Thailand!!!

We are finally in Thailand! After changing the plans many times and over a week of traveling, we've finally arrived. Its nice to be here. 

Back in October we made a special trip to another city to see some Western trained doctors. The doctor said LB has Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. On Wednesday our Thai doctor took a sonogram of LB's heart and discovered she has Mytral Valve Prolapse. The Thai doctor wanted LB to wear a 24 hour heart monitor. The monitor showed she has Pre Atrial Contractions. So right now we don't know if she does or does not have SVT, but we do know for sure she has MVP and PAC. As a result the doctor has suggested she have a C-Section because he is concerned about the strain on her heart during delivery. At this time we have scheduled the C-Section for Dec. 30th. 

The 24 hour heart monitor.

The same day LB had to wear the heart monitor the electricity in our apartment was shut off so we spent some time in Starbucks waiting. 

LB caught up on her favorite book-turned-movie Sense and Sensibility. 
KB read about month 9 of a woman's pregnancy.
