I always dread cardiology appointments. My biggest fear is that something will have changed or we'll get some sort of bad news from her ECHO, EKG, etc. Even though everything has been going so well, I was nervous! This was our first appointment since stopping her Lasix. Well, everything went great! Dr. Nardell was completely thrilled with her ECHO, her vitals, and how well she is doing overall. There is a very minimal amount of leakage around the mitral valve, but it has improved since the last echo a month ago, and she said that it will probably continue to correct itself. Even if it doesn't, it's not an issue. We'll be weaning her off of her blood pressure meds, and in two weeks we'll stop them completely! We don't even have to go back for another 2 months!
We can truly celebrate and enjoy our vacation! That is, if Hurricane Irene lets us.
Here are some recent pictures and a video of our little miss eating rice for the first time!!
Thank goodness for the good news!
