Wren has his next cardiology clinic visit at Children's on the 23rd. He will have an echo, EKG, general exam and a consult with his cardiologist. In particular we are concerned to see whether there is any increased turbulence around his LVOT, aortic valve, coarctation and descending aorta.
We also want to have his left leg pulses checked to explore this swollen leg business, update his meds since he has gained many pounds in the past 2 months and ask about the possibility of a trip to California in summer.
I am hopeful since he looks so good but I can't help but feel a flutter of panic at putting him down on the bed for his echo. Not only does he wriggle and fuss immediately, I just hate seeing those rainbow colors on the image where there "should" be nice clear red and blue (laminar) flow.
I spoke to the ped today about his leg which is still larger. She said my hypothesis about it being a combination of some venous constriction post cath and congestion from the shots is plausible. She recommends one shot at a time in future.
Anyway, we shall post an update on Monday afternoon.
