Happy Dancing Going On!

I just got off the phone with the cardiologist with Thor's Holter results. The news is great. He only had 13 VPC's (Ventricular premature complexes or arrhythmia's) in 24 hrs! That is great news and it is about 1/3 of what he had a year ago. His medication was adjusted at that point and it seems it is right in target. I am so happy right now! Extra hugs and a cookie to both dogs in celebration! We go on vacation in three weeks and a huge weight has been lifted. I think I won't be so anxious driving with him half way across the country.

Thor is getting his annual Holter monitor. It is a 24 hour heart monitor. This is the first time he has had the vest. He has had it taped to his harness before but we changed harness styles this year. And of course he was the perfect patient.

We had to make a 2 1/2 hour drive out to Mizzou (Missouri University) to see a cardiologist as ours left the local practice. Thankfully we can mail it all back.
