A Good Day at the Cardiologist

Annie enjoys the LARGE fish in the aquarium at the ped cardiologist office.

She does not enjoy the echocardiogram, even with lollipop and teddy bear in hand. (But most importantly, she sits perfectly still!)

She does enjoy the solar system (or pretty balls, as she calls them) on the ceiling. Not enough to lie down for the echo, but she does like to see them as she walks into the room.

She wasn't too happy when we started the EKG, but she eventually decided that she could lie down for this one.
I think she knows that we're just about done!

Annie had her best cardiologist visit yet today. Her VSD is still there and still the same size. There are no complications developing as a result of the VSD or its location. (YAY!) Even better, her EKG was "less abnormal" than it had been the first two visits. I think that was wonderful news! As usual, we were both very glad to have this visit overwith. We'll return again in six months, but if her next appointment goes as well as this one we get to start going once a year. Wonderful news!

Annie visits the ENT specialist on the 19th. I'm concerned about how in the world they'll ever get a scope down her throat to see her vocal chords without sedating her. If any of you have experience with this, please share (& hopefully reassure me.)
