Can it get any worse!

Okay, so this morning Sarah wakes up with her heart doing flip flops. I would imagine that she had a bit of an anxiety attack and mom rushed her to the emergency room. Thankfully it was at the same hospital where Jeremie was. I'm getting all this from dad so I'm sure I'm missing a few details. At any rate, they did whatever they needed to to get her heart beating normally and regularly then she headed up stairs to see how Jeremie was doing. Once she checked on Jeremie, she jumped back in the car with mom and headed to Primary Children's to relieve my dad and be with Tadd.
I'm sure when this is all over she will look back at this hole experience and laugh at the comedy of it all. Jeremie has been kept out of the loop as much as possible so as not to get his heart rate up, but last night, when Sarah was in the ambulance with Tadd, Jeremie called to check on things and Sarah had to fess up that she was in the ambulance headed for Primary Children's.
So to date, there have been two ambulance rides and three emergency room visits within a 24 hour period. Can anyone else beat that?
Sarah is hoping they will be able to bring Tadd home tonight, but I just got off the phone with her when the doctors came in, so I'll keep you posted.
Jeremie has now been moved from ICU to a regular room and seems to be doing very well. He's been up and talking from the beginning, but I guess with someone this young or maybe with any heart attack patient, they keep them for several days as a precaution.
Dad stayed with Tadd at the hospital last night so Sarah could go home. It turned out that Cara was having a melt down about maybe not having a daddy so Sarah spent the later part of the night reassuring her that everything would be okay.
It's no wonder Sarah woke up with her heart wigging out. I'm just greatful my parents have been there to help.
