Phedora: Update

We went in this morning to see the cardiologist. It went really well and I found out later this afternoon that I should have used different terminology when I explained it all to Phedora. I told her what an EKG was and told her that they would hook her to the machine and it would read what her heart was doing. She literally thought I meant hook. We went out his afternoon and she said you know mom they didn't actually hook me to the machine. I said What? And she replies they didn't put me on a hook. Too cute. Anyway though, back to the good stuff. They did the EKG and the Dr came in and listened to her heart. He said that everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about. She actually has not one, not two but three different murmurs. She has one called Still's, which is the one the pedi thought she had. Then she has another one called a Venus hum. The third one I don't remember the name of it was really long and sounded pretty scary. But that one just means that she has a musical sounding heart.

All is well though and that is the best thing. Her blood pressure was a little high today at 122/85. She's never had high blood pressure before though and probably was just worried about the hook :)

He recommended that we take both of the kids in when they are about 10-12 years old to get their cholesterol checked since it runs in the family. Phedora refused me any pictures today. But she was as usual very cute even with all the wires attached to her.
