We had Jax cardiology and echo today. His echo looked really good for him. Both valves are leaking like always, but the left side that they thought was leaking more is not. Nothing that needs to be taken care of right now. They really didn't measure his pulmonary pressures. Which I know their not looking for that, but why not check it while your in there. But he calculated it to be around 40, which is not bad at all. We are going to get rid of a med to. Yeah, one down, about 12 to go. His heart is pumping really strong so he discontinued his Enalipril. They also didn't see any clots in there. So the narrowing of his SVC is from old clots. This is all great news because I can go on vacation and feel like he is ok. I mean you never know with him, but I do feel better about going knowing that he's not clotting on blood thinners. They think that having RSV just wreaked havoc on his heart and the SVC vein and make everything back up into his neck. Even though he handled the RSV better than I thought he would, it makes his heart work harder and enlarge.
Jax getting his echo
Its kind of hard to see but if you look close you can see Jax new medical bracelet. Its super cute, and if fits his tiny hand.
Don't forget to go over to the Blankie site and request a blankie for a child you know. My heart is bursting because people are donating to the blankie fund. This helps us so much, to give the blankies to the kids. But I need some more requests, I haven't had anyone use my form on the blankie site yet, come on, I figured that out all by myself so go use it!!
I'm so thrilled it was good news today. He's so lovable!

ReplyDeletewhat wonderful news to get from a cardiology visit!
ReplyDeleteAiden's primary cardio was pushing for the surgery; his secondary cardio (who knows Aiden's heart just as much as the primary) is the one who has the doubts.
