Echocardiogram
Today’s cardiology appointment went very well.

Seven years ago today
I still can’t believe Namine is in fifth grade!
-
Informed decisions
There was a discussion on one of the Facebook groups I belong to on how and when to educate one’s child on surgery. I responded there with a simplified version of what follows, but I have more to say (as I usually do).
-
Cardiology appointment
Namine’s heart continues to do well post-Fontan.
-
On school and support
Every year since Namine was four, we get these memories that show up in our “On This Day” Facebook feed. The memory in question is about us pulling her out of school.
-
A day of picnics
We had two picnics to attend today: one for the Herma Heart Center, and the other for the Variety Club.
-
One less med
Last week Namine had a cardiology appointment. It was just a routine check up.
-
New cardiologist
We met this morning with Namine’s new heart doctor.
-
Christmas dress
We didn’t have the chance to go shopping for Namine’s Christmas dress until this past weekend. By this point, most stores have already moved onto Spring clothing, so Christmas clothing was in short supply.
-
Headaches
Namine has been complaining of headaches for over a month now, so last Friday we called the hospital to have her seen. While there is a headache clinic at the hospital, Namine’s doctor wanted to see her himself before just sending her off to the clinic.
-
Throwback Thursday
Wanna hear something crazy? Namine has had two benefits thrown for her, because apparently medical equipment and care are expensive. Who knew?
-
Bad timing
Namine’s cardiologist had great news. His timing, on the other hand, not so much.
