Well, yesterday was interesting to say the least. The Dr. came in and asked, "Why am I seeing your daughter?" I was a bit taken back. I suppose because of all the scampering and rushing around to have this arrhythmia looked into, her file wasn't the most complete it could be. So after a brief exam, he said Mikaela was perfectly normal. Her adjusted QT was normal, as was every other reading in her EKG. Subsequently, he heard NO murmer whatsoever. Nor clicking for that matter. hmmm. All that was recommended was that we come back in 6 months for a repeat EKG. Sure. I'm happy to do that. (Appointment is scheduled for May 5th.)
I am curious how two people could look at the same EKG, listen to the same heart and have two varrying outcomes.
Anyway. My NEW pediatrician feels that because of all the precautionary steps they took, (an echo cardiogram, referring Mikaela to the EP Clinic) and since the Specialist cleared her for surgery, she feels confident that all is well. She, like Kurt, believe that they were just being extra cautious due to the hearing loss. I understand that and always a proponent of 'better safe than sorry'. Maybe I was looking for a better explanation of why one week ago there were red lights, sirens, and a mad rush to Cardiology. Last week no cardiologist would sign off on her EKG. One week later, with the same EKG, all is fine. I suppose the normal results from the echo cardiogram is what maybe made the difference this week.
The new surgery date is December 8th.
