A little nervous

I'm a little nervous about the echo this morning. I'm not sure when I'll find out the results which is a little frustrating. Let me give you a little background. Our childrens hospital, PCMC, is 45 mins to an hour away. They just built a new hospital literally 5 mins away from us. This new hospital is not a childrens hospital, but they have outpatient clinics there with doctors from PCMC. This is fantastic for us, I would have never made it all the way to the hospital for a 9 am appointment unless I got up at 5! When we have an echo done at the hospital, the doctor always just comes and tells me the results right then. Well at this hospital our doctor wasn't there, so I don't know how soon they read it and put it into the system. As soon as its in the system my ped can pull it up on her computer. She's going to try at lunch and see if its up.
The reason I'm worried is the echo tech kept asking me weird questions. She asked me if he had a line in that went close to his heart. I said no. She asked me if recently he had a line in. I told her he hasn't had a line in his upper body for two years. He's clotted off all of his major vessels in his upper body, making it impossible to put lines in. So now I'm worried he has a huge clot or extreme narrowing somewhere new in his heart. The techs aren't allowed to say anything to the parents. Probably because they are not trained to read the echo's and could possible give wrong info. I'm hoping its nothing, but Jax has a major clotting disorder. A clotting disorder that has already taken the life of a DS friend. We thought that Jax was doing good on his blood thinners, but maybe he has clots we haven't found yet.
Ugh, I need to keep myself busy or I'll go crazy!

I know it's damn near impossible, but try not to worry until you have reason to! That is what my motto is right now about this blood test we are waiting on for Peanut.

I hope your doctor can review the echo at lunch and give you the results. Good or bad, it's better than the icky waiting and unknown!

Oh, I am praying you get the results ASAP!! For peace of mind if nothing else. All the questions would have gotten me worrying too.

What until you hear from the doctor to get too worked up. I know it's SOO hard, but keep yourself busy to get your mind off it. I'm praying for awesome results.

Rochelle said...

Praying for your peace and that you get the test results (and they are great) asap!

I hate it when they ask you questions - because then you do start to worry. How was the hospital over there? Still haven't had any appointments there - but it is so much closer and more convenient. Praying you will get good answers soon!

Praying for fast answers. There is no point in telling you to not worry. It is almost impossible. Try to keep busy. Thinking of you and sweet Jax.

Becca said...

Hang in there!! Try not to worry until you have to, and hopefully you won't have to. And yes, it's easier said than done...

Hoping for good results!!!!!
