Pediatric Cardiologist

K's appointment with the pediatric cardiologist was yesterday. He ran a quick EKG on her heart and said that he didn't see anything to be concerned about on that. He would however like another echo done because the person who did the first one wasn't experienced in doing babies and he would like someone who has more knowledge to do it. So we go for that next Tuesday. I just can't wait for all of this to be over. I want to know for sure and all I keep hearing is "it's most likely something she'll grow out of before her first birthday" but we want to run one more test and then another and another. I know they're trying to be through and I do appreciate that fact....but all of this is starting to wear on me. Just give us some answers please!!

Echo. Results

We got a call from the doctor this past Monday, and it turns out K has a hole in her heart. We have to go on January 11th to a specialist in New York to have another echo done and see what he has to say about it. They stressed again to us that it's usually nothing to worry about and that it will most likely close on its own. So that's where I'm keeping my frame of mind right now and hoping that it turns out to be no biggie. I've been praying over it, but haven't let myself get worked up about it... no sense in stressing until we know more.

K's Echo.

K had her echocardiogram on her heart today. She was such a trooper, she kicked and smiled away at the technician and grabbed at the wand like, "Here I'll just do it myself!". The tech said she was the best behaved baby she'd ever had! She didn't cry at all until the very end when I had to pull the stickers off her chest, poor baby that had to hurt :(
We won't have the results until after the holiday when the cardiac surgeon has time to go over the images, but the tech said she thought we could be at ease because she didn't see anything that would concern her. So I guess she knows what she's doing enough that I feel comfortable letting my mind be at ease until after the holiday.
