Riley had her 6-month-old checkup at the cardiologist. In case you missed the previous post in June, when the pediatrician heard a murmur, she was sent for an echocardiogram at 2 months old. Some of the blood flow velocity was at the upper level of normal as it exited the heart into the aorta, so we had to get a repeat echo at 6 months old. She was a champ as she underwent the EKG and echo despite it being dinner and naptime. She stayed still and did not fuss when the cold stickers and cold ultrasound gel went on, or when the EKG stickers got pulled off. Good news...Everything came back normal, and although she still has the murmur, she will most likely grow out of it (Conor had one and grew out of it by age 3) and we do not need any further follow up.
The appointment was at 5pm and a bit of a drive from home to see a pediatric cardiologist, so we stopped to have dinner on the way home. Conor and Adam both love Chinese food, so we stopped at Panda Express for a quick meal. Conor was so excited as he was preparing to eat his chow mein the same way Daddy does, so he said, "Chopsticks, Here we come...!!!" and he actually did a great job eating with them, much better than I have ever been able to use chopsticks!
