I thought I would update you all on Ella's Dr Visits before people hear it thru the grapevine! She had her 2 month shots on Wednesday. It was hard for me to see her scream. She had 3 of them in her legs so I guess she did good considering! Dr. Batson came in and checked her out. He did hear a heart murmur and decided she needed to have more tests. He sent us to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital to have some tests run. He figured she probably had a small hole in her heart but wanted to make sure. They scheduled an appt for us and were able to get us in the next day!
So Mitch and I head to Vanderbilt at 6am the following day. Did I mention they were calling for snow and bad weather, great! lol. Ella did wonderful at the doctors. We were there over 2 hours running tests. She had to sit for over 20 minutes to have an Echo done (like an ultrasound). She did so well. They also ran an EKG. Well to make a long story short she does have a small whole in her heart that the doctor isn't really concerned about. He said that 40% of infants end up with it and it normally closes when they grow up. He also found that she has Pulmonary Stenosis. A very mild case. Her valve controlling blood flow out of her heart is not performing as well as it should be! He's not too concerned about this either but he wants to check her out again in 2 months! So please, don't be worried!
I just wanted to update everyone on here before they heard it from somewhere else! I didn't want it to be blown out of proportion!! :)
She was very good at the doctor that we stopped and she was able to buy a toy!! LOL. She decided on a Bumbo seat and also a little snail that rolls, lights up, and plays music! :)
Because she had the Dr's Appt we had to Reschedule Amy Callahan to take her pictures. Thank you Amy for being flexible! She is coming this week. So I should have pictures soon!!
Hope everyone is doing well!
