The roller coaster of monitoring continues, we receive false hope from the generic doppler heart monitor and then the ultrasounds show the flutter. After increasing the frequency of Digoxin to no avail (after 5 days) they recommended adding a second heart medicine called Flecainide. Again, anxiety continued for us as this is medicine "for old people" with bad hearts not young healthy hearts like Alison. The fact that they put a dedicated nurse in the room 24x7 to monitor Alison did not help the anxiety initially. After a day of the new medicine Alison was feeling very good actually, again surprising the doctors/nurses.
