Monday December 20th Amie had her 6 month cardiology appointment. Since we've had the new cardiologist (two years - 4 appointments now) he has increasingly made me a bit nervous about her appointments. Each time he has shortened his window of how long we had on this valve & then the last one he took her out of sports. Additionally - her pressure gradient has slowly gone up since she had the last surgery - so we know that some point the valve will need to be ballooned.
.
So - off we head to Peoria...a little apprehensive, but also curious and hopeful.
.
And she is doing so much better at not wiggling too much!
And of course - she is now queen of the "spider web" making with the EKG stickers!
So....cardiologist comes in and he says her echo hasn't changed!!! That is the best possible news for a heart like Amie's!!! He also said that he thought the valve has three leafs again (it has looked like two leafs and three leafs almost every other time). A three leaf valve has a longer longevity then a two leaf - so that is also good news!
.
And he said - "See ya in 6 months!" Again the best news we could hope for!!! :)
.
Then we got out to our car & guess what....a flat tire!!
.
Looked in the owners manual & we had 6 months left on the emergency road side assistance!!! Yahoo!!! I didn't have to get cold, wet and dirty!!
.
But they left me waiting for two hours!
We ended our "morning" (2pm now) with lunch at Olive Garden!
Even with the tire issue - a Grade A Day!!
