Cardiology Appointment

After Emmett's visit to the doctor on the 5th. Dr. Su called and scheduled Emmett to see him sooner then his original appointment that was on the 18th. They took a chest x-ray and then checked stats. His oxygen level was still in the 70's, but has good color and blood pressure. Dr. Su said that he looks great, that you wouldn't of know that his numbers were lower. At the appointment we talked about scheduling Emmett for a Cath and a sedated echo. This is so they can check the pressures in his heart and the size of his left ventricle.

Today Primary's called and I scheduled Emmett for Monday the 18th for the Cath Lab. After the Cath and the Echo they will give the results to the surgeon and then, this will determine when Emmett's next heart surgery is. Dr. Su is predicting that it will probably be about mid May.

I am really glad that Dr. Jopling was so concerned about Emmett's low numbers and that we got into see Dr. Su and to schedule Emmett for a Cath.

Thank you every one for your prayers and concerns!
