Follow Up

On Monday Dr. Su, Emmett's cardiologist called to see how he is doing. I told him that Emmett has a cold like we had hoped for. I also told him that Dr. Jopling requested for us to go and get some lab work done at Primary's and that everything came back normal except rhinovirus (the common cold). Dr. Su thought that was great that Dr. Jopling had done that and was so concerned about Emmett. Since Emmett is sick, we know that it is nothing to do with his heart and so we have a cardiology appointment April 18th to start scheduling Emmett's up coming cath, echo and surgery.

On Tuesday I took Emmett to see Dr. Jopling to get his 6 month immunizations and synagust shot, since we didn't get them done a week ago. Dr. Jopling said that Emmett's color looked great. He checked out Emmett's ears and saw that he a had a double ear infection and a red sore throat. At Emmett's 6 month appointment Dr. Jopling said that he could feel Emmett's liver a little bit and was very concerned about it. On Tuesday he checked to see if he could feel Emmett's liver and he couldn't. He thought that maybe since he felt the liver last week that maybe Emmett might of had a slight case of RSV, but since he has been getting the synagust shots that it wasn't very serious and didn't affect him.

This boy of ours hasn't really acted sick at all, he never pulled at his ears or anything. He is a tough little guy, if I do say so my self. Hopefully this antibiotic that Emmett is on will get him better quickly and that we wont have any more sickness in this house *knock on wood*.

I am so ready for summer to come!
