Baby Connor and the NICU

We knew ahead of time Connor had some heart issues going on.  I took medicine while I was pregnant to keep his heart rate under control.  Well when he came out, he decided to make life a lot more interesting.  He started having SVT's, basically high heart rate. One episode lasted 30mins so they had to give him extra meds to bring it down.  Well then he started having Bradycardia, low heart rate.  So now he is only on one medication.  The Brady's are less and he can come out of them himself.  Last night he decided to start having more SVT's 

Connor is definately a little fighter.  We just need to get some answers and get him home.  Being a NICU parent is VERY hard.... even when you probably have the healthiest baby in there!!
