Thanks, Jennifer! I have been meaning to stop in and give you the scoop. All the news has been good. He is still having frequent PVCs with left axis deviation, but echocardiogram showed no structural or functional issues and stress test was normal (pvcs didn't go away but did slow down some) so not much to worry about. Doc did order a 24 hour Holter monitor, and if he is having pvcs 10% of the time or more, he will monitor 1-2x per year to see if they become more frequent. If <10%, it is very unlikely that this will ever affect him adversely.

I did have a "moment“ when waiting for results in the cardiologist's office and found a big pile of flyers right next to my seat advertising a conference for families dealing with Sudden Arrythmia Death Syndromes. And his school nurse absolutely freaked out about him wearing/removing the Holter at school, called me in a panic... "I can't do this without written orders!!! Does he have a heart condition? His cardiologist needs to fax me! I need to know if he has activity restrictions!!!"  (Um, he can do it himself? And he's totally fine?)

Thanks for checking in, I am MUCH more relaxed now!
