\"\"<\/a>I’m here at Lucile Packard’s Children’s Hospital.\u00a0 Monday, Angie was at her regular 6 mo. checkup appointment and they were testing her pacemaker and were surprised that her capture voltage has dramatically changed over the last six months.\u00a0 After a little consulting among the doctors, they asked Angie if she could come back the next day for surgery to replace her ventricular lead.\u00a0 We were a little surprised by the news.\u00a0 As it turned out, the surgeon they wanted couldn’t perform the surgery until Thursday, but yesterday they called us and said, “Dr. Maeda has had something come up on Thursday, can you come in tomorrow instead?”\u00a0 So, we got up at 5 am and drove down to Palo Alto.<\/p>\n

It is interesting being back in a children’s hospital.\u00a0 I’ve already been called Dad by two different nurses.\u00a0 I like it \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I stopped trying to correct them back at Primary Children’s because I found it kind of endearing.\u00a0 When we came here to California, they had us start going to the adult hospital for Angie’s regular visits and surgeries.\u00a0 At first, I was a little sad because we were used to the extra attention and friendliness of a children’s hospital.\u00a0 After a few years, though, I got used to it.\u00a0 So it is very different coming back to this environment.<\/p>\n

In actuality, Angie’s done very well lately.\u00a0 In fact, I think she’s set a record for how long she’s gone without a surgery in our married life.\u00a0 I think her last surgery was in Oct of 2010 when she got her pacer replaced.<\/p>\n
