We traveled to Greensboro today to see Sam's cardiologist (for a regular check-up). Despite all of the high fevers, sickness, borderline dehydration, etc, his heart rate never got above 180bpm, and even that was unsustained. The doctor used the word "stable" four times. He cleared Sam for certain sports, told him no big roller coasters, and to never jump out of a plane.
His battery voltage was 6.6V today and has been 6.6V since our last visit six months ago. When it drops below 6V, we will schedule surgery to replace it. This will likely happen over the summer.
We are now using a secondary monitoring system, so if the voltage drops any time between now and our next appointment in six months, we will go back to see his doctor sooner and schedule the surgery as needed.
