So here is an update....

Taylor was admitted to the hospital when they found her heart rate was 275, normal for an infant is about 140.
They administered medicine right away to shock her heart to normal.
She has been diagnosed with WPW, Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome.
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome — Diagnosis and Treatment at Mayo Clinic

Her heart rate will have to be monitored and she will have to take medicine every day for it for possibly the rest of her life. There is a chance though that she may out grow it at 6 months old.
Other than that though they said she should live a perfectly normal life and at this point she doesn't need surgery for it.

The doctors also said that they were lucky they caught it early as untreated the condition leads to cardiac arrest.

So Thank You God that they will able to find this early and that Taylor will be alright!!

Thank You again everyone for your prayers!! I can't tell how much they are appreciated and how relieved we are that Taylor will be fine!!

Tracey, thanks for the updfate. It is absolutely amazing with all the advancres in meds. So glad that a diagnosis was able to be made, sometimes this is the most horrid of times when you have to play the wait gem.. Thanks,
