Makenzie's appointment
We really didn't find out anything ay Makenzie's appointment. Her EKG was fine. She had a sonogram of her heart. I told the technician about Monty's biscuspid aortic valve and was hoping to find out if Makenzie has the normal tricuspid valve or the same defect that Monty had. The doctor said that he could not tell because the valve is still embedded into the heart at this age. He said to come back in 5 years and hopefully the technology of sonogram machines will have improved. He did not have an answer to her heart racing and her blood pressure problems. He said that he doesn't become concerned until the heart rate is between 200-300. Anyway, I am glad that the EKG didn't show any problems. I would like to have found out about her heart valve. He did say that she has a small leak in her valve but it was considered a trace leak and at this point is nothing to worry about. If she continues to have problems, we will see someone else. I had heard really good things about him, but I wasn't impressed. He did not even introduce himself when he came in the room. When he came in the room, he asked Makenzie, "What's wrong with you?" Ummm.....we went there hoping he would tell us that. He did recommend that we see the nephrologist to make sure that nothing is going on with her kidney. Makayla got her bottom braces today. It's been a busy day. I am thankful that we didn't have school today so we could get all of the appointments taken care of. That's it for now. It is basketball time!
