Heart Checkup

We had our appointment with the cardiologist today & they did an EKG. We had to wait FOREVER (1 hour) just to get called back. Then another hour once we were in. I was worried Elliot would start to get fussy seeing as it was time to feed her again, but she was good as gold. Calm & relaxed the whole time...even when she was hooked up. The tech was very impressed.

The doc said she still has mild pulmonary stenosis, so we have to come back in a month. There's still no need to worry right now. We'll just take it one step at a time. He said if it doesn't get worse over the next 3 months, there's a 90% chance that there will be no further complications.

I'm impressed too. They had a ton of sensors on her. Good job, Elliot. I heard she's already sleeping through the night too. What a good baby. :)

Awwww, what a sad little picture! I know she was fine, but it just looks sad! What a good girl you have!! That's good that it is mild. Wasn't it intermediate or something before??

Poor little Elliot! I'm so glad that she ok. Sounds like she will grow out of it.

I hope that your doing well!!

glad to hear that she is doing great! Hopefully all will work out! I am glad that she was good during the test. The first time Benjamin had a siezure, they ordered that test... and it was a nightmare-- he was so upset that they had to take it twice. Elliot sounds like the perfect little girl!

I'm so glad that you have a good baby too! I hope the results will come back fine. Poor thing. I'm glad she's a trooper. Even though she is all hooked up, she's still a cutie. Hang in there!

I'm impressed that she was so happy. I had an EKG yesterday as part of my pre-op appointment. It took forever to hook everything up.

I hate seeing babies with a ton of cords hooked up to them. It's so sad! I'm so glad that there's a good chance it will resolve itself though.
