Happy retirement, Dr. Gordon
Last night was the retirement party for Dr. Gordon, who has been Namine’s special needs doctor, well, pretty much since birth.
double-inlet left ventricle heart defect
Double inlet left ventricle is a heart defect that is present from birth. It affects the valves and chambers of the heart. Children born with this condition have only one working pumping chamber in their heart.
Hope for the future
In a private special needs group I follow, the question was asked: “In unthinkable circumstances, should hope be offered?” Here are my thoughts.
One less med
Last week Namine had a cardiology appointment. It was just a routine check up.
Al’s Run shirts
I picked up Team Namine’s shirts for Al’s Run this afternoon.
Second fireworks in two days
Namine had more fun at her second fireworks, likely because this one didn’t hurt her chest.
Holter monitor
Remember the Holter monitor? Namine had to wear it for 24 hours.
New cardiologist
We met this morning with Namine’s new heart doctor.
