Mariah won't be able to play sports such as basketball or soccer that could result in impact in the area of her device. Her E*P* said she can continue playing softball (something she's played since first grade). However, after we witnessed a first baseman being hit in the upper chest area with a softball last season, we are most likely going to find a chest protector for her prior to this upcoming season.~~~~~~~~~~
The photo below, taken this evening, shows her incision ~ so if you are bothered by those types of images you might want to simply skip on to the next post =)

Sorry for the crazy spacing with the paragraphs, etc...blogger seems to be messing with me tonight!!

Mariah, and Tracey... So happy to see you have come through this so well. That looks like quite an incision, but I know that you will heal quickly (though I am sure it will, at times, seem unlikely). I am proud of you both for being proactive in managing your health and in you Mariah for learning to make health care decisions based on what you want and how you feel. That is a power that will serve you well over your years. Good job. Keep us updated. With love, Jacquie Kubin
Hi, my name is Christina and Laura McIntyre gave me your link. I too have LQTS, and am always interested to encounter others with the condition. I was diagnosed at 11 after a syncope episode, had my first defibrillator placed at 16, and just last month had surgery to place the third divice. I am now 25 and have an almost-three year old daughter. I'm glad yo hear Mariah is recovering well, and I'll look forward to following your story!
