A Little Update On Jordan Beld

Hey Clan, I received this note from Lisa earlier today I just thought I would pass it on. -L

Hello everyone

We had our visit at children's today for Jordan's heart issues. I will try to make this brief and somewhat in "normal" terms.

So he has two problems 1) A-Fib 2) Right bundle branch blockage

both are rare at his age and even more rare together. The Dr at children's said he sees maybe 5 a year with one problem and rarely both.

All of the test we have taken so far,( the file is thick according to the Dr) have been fine, other than showing what we already know.

The Dr released him to start running and playing basketball etc so Jordan was pretty happy about that. (this morning he told us that last night while at the hotel him and his friend took the stairs down all 11 floors at a fast pace--nice to know! :)

So the next step we are taking is to have some Genetic Testing done. They want to determine whether or not it is an inherited problem and if its something the other kids could have. When I mentioned that I have glaucoma and how fast it came on, that seemed to have linked something that could show up as a heart issue in Jordan--very confusing.

We will have the tests done in Aug. along with another Treadmill, EKG and hopefully things will just settle down and not cause more problems.

So the Dr was not able to put what he has into a diagnosis with a reason or prediction on why it happened or where it will go from here. It will just be a bit of a wait and watch situation until we have more tests in Aug.

We are happy and relieved that he will be able to resume his normal activity and pray that his symptoms will not return.

I might not have emails for everyone so feel free to email this to more people that would like to know :)

Thanks for all your prayers and support I hope this makes some sense to everyone.

Lisa
