Cardiologist....

So on Tuesday the 10th we went to Marquette (our home away from home) to meet with the pediatric cardiologist. He was such a nice Dr. Probably had to be my favorite so far! You can tell he meets with lots of kiddos and enjoys what he does.

So anyway, the ended up doing an EKG on her heart. Dr. Wolfe sent us up there to make sure that Sylvia wasn't doing any damage to her heart. She works extra hard to just breathe and Dr. was worried over time that it would cause stress on her heart. Turns out everything is perfect!

What a relief. As long as the brain is working and the heart is working, anything else can be fixed. She had a tiny bit of a murmur. He said that 1 out of 6 (6 being the loudest) it was at about a 1. He was even willing to bet she didn't have it every day. So that was good news.

He also did an Echo. There was one little flaw that turned up on that. It was called a PFO. Not really sure what it stands for! He drew me a picture to explain it to me. There's a part in your heart that is suppose to close up and 1 out of 3 people this part doesn't close. It leaves a tiny hole and her's isn't even as bad as a hole. He said her's was more of a flap. Well anyway, he said that had we not done the Echo today we would have never even discovered it. It won't be anything that gives her any problems. So I was happy to hear that it was something very common!

The best part of all was, we don't have to go back to him! Yay! He doesn't think that her breathing extra hard will cause any stress on her heart in the future! :)
